For god's sake, can someone do my laundry?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ok. Bright shiny spot in my day so far?
I went to order 2 books from Amazon for a total of $32.something. It wound up at $20.something because I had leftover gift certificate. I'll take it!
I have a birthday party tonight, so things may get better.

What is even happening?
ita, I can't even do my own. If I had to fight with your neighbors over machines, and have to deal with them calling the manager when I was three minutes late getting my stuff out of the dryer (and it wasn't the only dryer), I'd have to kill them, and frame you for the crime, because I'm not tough enough to make it in prison.

Well, the first two loads are in. I just sat there and stared at the dirty laundry, wanting clean clothes and thought: "It's just an action. Just a thing I have to do, and I'll get what I want."
In the face of the things I want over which I feel completely powerless, a very small deal.
So the first two loads are in, and I will fuck up anyone who gets in the way of my action.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, the VHS Obit came up in today's meeting about digital media collections... the consensus seemed to be "the machine at home collects dust most of the time but professionally, it's not going away anytime soon."
As for commercial TV collections, I remember the BtVS ones but never bought them. Hub bought a bunch of anime series back in the day that were quite expensive by comparison to US series; we're haphazardly replacing them with DVDs, and the space savings over 8 or 10 tapes is a new and exciting wonder every time.

The VCR gets used most for taping unexpectedly cool TV shows on Discovery and History and the like that we're not going to pay $20 bucks for.

I'm interested by the idea that VHS tape is going to stay around professionally. Isn't digital capable of better and more predictable quality?

For god's sake, can someone do my laundry?
yes. And I'd totally do it for you. Except, I'm still bedridden. Sorry.
I love the sparrow/hawk story. That's so... perfect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The pros are concerned about Cylon infiltration of their computer systems.
Actually, by 'pros' do you mean people who produce videos? Broadcasters?

ita, I thought you'd get a kick out of some pictures. It's my old boss taking down an opponent during what's called the Madtown Throwdown. Cycle though to the 6th thru 8th pictures, he's the scrawny dude in the cammo shorts.
