Short Bus

A. I got the job(s). I'm going to take the one 15 minutes away from me because it's a fantastic job. Permanent, benefits, a WHOLE lot of money. Of course, I don't know when I start, my hours, or anything like that. And I don't have the cash JUST YET. I'll probably need to work two weeks first.

B. At one time, I needed a Playstation memory card. I can't use the Dexdrive thing in Windows XP (or even Windows 2000 for that matter), so that's it for that thing. Gamestop and EBGames don't sell them anymore, which I find hilarious. Playstation 3 is supposed to have backwards compatibility with PSX and PS2, yet Sony doesn't sell those memory cards anymore. Sheesh. Thankfully there's always ebay. I picked up like 6 third-party memory cards for $5. Hell yeah they were ugly. Clear blue. Ick. So I spent some time this week coating them in primer, sanding it down 'til smooth, and repainting. Except, I really don't have much airbrush practice. The rig to hold it spun around under the 20 psi of air pressure into the brush. So I ended up coating way too much paint on it so it took a bath in brake fluid. It's my traditional paint stripping fluid. Yeah, Castrol Super Clean is supposedly better but I've never found it in any store so, DOT 5 it is. I checked it out today. Half of the paint didn't come off, and all the clear blue plastic swelled and turned into a bloated blue-grey plastic. It's like the memory card had elephantiasis of the nuts. (Anyone want a playstation memory card circuitboard? 1 megabit of NAND flash goodness?

C. Bookworm Adventures is pretty cool. Best word I've gotten so far is "Devolution". Yeah, I'm a fucking MADMAN.
