Eldritch millennial, Presumption of Humanity is weird. TTRPG things and drinks plus politics. Watching C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. he/him

This month my continued mission to increase my CD collection featured Alien Ant Farm's TruANT.
Opened the case to find a bonus DVD inside that i didn't know about.
Fuck yeah.

The absolute wildest thing about reading classic 50's and 60's sci-fi is seeing what they thought life would be like in the far distant future of the 1990's

Well, we are now at war with Iran.

Has Grampa Puddinbrains NO respect for the sacred sanctity of the FIFA Peace Prize?

GALADRIEL (selectively editing the backstory): and three rings were given to the elves, who were barely involved

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

My current Discworld book is Small Gods, an amazing book but one I have read before, and I find it so hard to revisit media (even that which I love), so decided to take a quick break to read something else.
Picked up one of my Star Trek TNG novels (32, Requiem) and accidentally read it in one day.

New PSU is installed (and despite everything, it is technically an upgrade).
Fingers crossed it resolves the issue, then I've saved myself a couple of grand.

Look, I paid for this sad salad from the takeaway place, and I'm damn well going to eat it.

Yes, it's from Saturday, I like to live dangerously.

So, new PSU should be here today, if that doesn't fix my issue then I might need to replace the entire PC.

A parts replacement is certainly the cheaper solution so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I didn't even know duvets came in 1 tog.
Got one now though, that's down from 2.5, let's see how much difference it makes.

All that time I've spent reading lately?
Looks like it was only practicing as my PC broke.
I think it's a relatively easy fix, but annoying.

Time to read a little more.

The failed policy of the last few decades of lowering the taxes on the rich will surely work this time!

That was the cover for Hitchhiker's that I had as a teen, instant nostalgia.

Every time I look out the window and see the road devoid of traffic, I think to myself "Is this it?"

"Is this the end of the world"
And then I am disappointed when a car drives past.

Maybe next time, eh?

Me, reading Terry Pratchett after being told to read Terry Pratchett 10,000 times: “how has no one told me to read Terry Pratchett until now???”

Ahh, it is D&D weekend again.
We all know what that means, I get to experiment with my cooking and I've got a party of adventurers who have to suffer every morsel.

Tonight is duck confit with a cherry sauce.

Indeed it was! And then later on Scuzz came out, so there were so many alternative options!

And if we hung out somewhere without Sky, someone (mostly me) would bring a 120 capacity CD wallet with them.
(When I eventually moved those CDs back into those cases.. it was a mission.."

Whilst working in WHSmiths about 20-odd years ago, one of the members of 90's UK boyband Boyzone came in to order a GCSE revision book for a family member.
