I'm in the same boat with Laserdiscs. I have a crate with about 100 of them out in the garage.

Somehow I knew you would have a similar problem. I just don't know where to take them to sell them off.

I keep meaning to haul mine down to Amoeba Records.

Oh, I didn't know about the Derby. I forgot to tivo it and so I didn't realize. I'm kinda glad I didn't watch it now. So sad.

And in other news, omg, this game is going into quadruple overtime! It's a good game, fun to watch, but I am so not this much invested in it. But now I've watched this far, so I have to keep watching. Surely someone will keel over from exhaustion shortly and allow someone else to score.

So up until about 30 minutes ago, I'm lying in bed, about to watch a little QI before I drift off. Then I hear 5 gunshots and I freeze, thinking about grabbing the dogs and running into the closet. Then I hear a series of crashes so loud it rattled the house. I go outside, and neighbors are beginning to come out of their houses. The girl across the street thought someone was breaking into her house.

There was apparently some sort of car chase between some groups of guys, with guns it seems. They hit at least 4 cars (the one immediately across my street has the front driver's side completely smashed and the tire/axel totally fucked) before pushing two parked cars up onto the lawns they were parked in front of. Two jumped out and hauled the driver out, and ran away.

Last I heard from our neighborhood busybody is that they were stopped several blocks away.

When did my quiet little hood turn into a scene from Grand Theft Auto?

Good god, DJ -- that's more excitement in a night than anyone deserves.

Trudy, are you moving? Did I miss something?

On Wednesday, both of my final projects for my courses are due! So I've been skipping like unto a Mad Thing What Skips, so I'm sure I've missed other important updates on what's happening in BuffistaLand. (LJ is a lost cause with me, alas.)

The good news is that both projects are going very well, and I probably don't have enough time between now and Wednesday to finish either of them properly....

(Hey! I skipped some)

God.

Woke up after 5 hours of sleep, because I came back kinda lateish from a great show of an artist I love, love, love.

And then the BackOffice I'm working on decided to flip. So it's about 5-6 hours now that I can't work. I cleaned the house a little bit, went to do some groceries shopping, and now I'm doing Crazy Fan Stuff (as in, trying to assemble entire show out of YouTube videos). But I'm mostly tired, and just don't want to work late because I can't work now.

And the show. What a great show. I will write more when my mind will clear, perhaps with some sleeping hours, because I have some cross fandom thoughts about the way I react to some messages when it comes from music and TV.

God. Fix the damn BackOffice already.

Edit: Nice. I've been told now that it's not gonna be solved for the time being. Umm, hello, what I'm supposed to do now? I'm taking Wednesday and Thursday off, not Monday and Tuesday, remember?

Liese, you can probably see the race all over but there is video at the Blood Horse site.

Jessica, I hope you're just taking ordinary precautions and not reacting to a particular threat.

shir, I linked to banana bread recipe.

Yikes DJ - that's scary.

I am TI-RED. Too many nights last week of 5 hours sleep. My legs are like jello.

Hey Sumi - I got a few comments on the most recent batch I uploaded from someone whose name I didn't recognize. They were fairly innocuous (though they were in uncapitalized netspeak, which is how I knew it wasn't a Buffista under a different name), but two of the comments were on bath pics (bubble bath - nothing visible below the waist) and it kind of skeeved me.

It won't stop me from posting guest-access links here (which is public but fairly self-limiting), but they won't be randomly winding up on Flickr's front page.

For example...

And one more!

[eta: And if someone who's not a Flickr member could let me know if the guest pass links allow commenting, that'd be great. Just curious.]

I friended you but via my yahoo name - shall I email that to you?
