I taped it, on the VCR, which I realized after speed-searching it today, that, well, the heads get dirty, so picture, etc. dropped out, but oddly enough, it didn't bother me. At least I still have a head cleaner, although I'm sure they're extinct.

Ugh, sick, so am staying home from work today. Not deathly sick but the miserable kind that will drive me to bed shortly cuz I was going to lie on couch and watch TV until I realized just how dreadful daytime TV is. How do people watch it all day? I mean, half the cable channels seem infested with infomercials (which, come to think of it, could put ( Read more... )

Well, hey, I've been eating wild raspberries for a week now. Breakfast, dinner, but not lunch  - gotta have some protein! Anyway, I've put some photos under the cut (for size) in case you want to see what a big plate of raspberries looks like :)

( Yum! )

Well, Comic Con in San Diego has come and gone and I have got to get out there one of these years, preferably when I have enough cash to buy all the junk I want! Godzillas! Daleks! Dead kitty dolls! ;) By the time I get out there I'm willing to bet there will be no Stargate franchise left!

Besides the memories and the fact they're still enjoyable (watching Kung Fu: The Legend Continues - going through all 4 seasons).
