I know that's a joke, but the fact that Inara in Firefly is a "courtesan" is why you'll never see an official Lego version of the Serenity.

15/16 is probably the youngest age where you'd begin to appreciate something like that and not skip over it for the super cool set with lasers and guys with jet packs (etc.)

If you think a $500 lens is expensive, I do not recommend getting into photography.

This is an olympus lens but it's also a zoom of about the same range.



There are a lot of small parts with very low tolerances in a lens.

Two pair of these:

I did some Halloween shopping starting with some Records

The Original Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Picket and the Crypt Kickers

its a fun record, I'll be playing it year round not just during this month

I also got two Elvira Mistress of the Dark 7'' records

2 Big Pumpkins/ 13 Nights of Halloween



Movie Macabre Theme Picture Disk


Finally I bought the Macabre Mobile model kit because I haven't built a model car in a long time and this one looked fun

Is that tape just the audio from episodes? If it is, that's still not a criticism; the ripped audio tracks from taped Dr Katz eps got me through a buncha road trips in the late nineties/early millenium.

I actually haven't listened to it yet. I don't have a cassette player, it was an impulse buy. I assume it's straight from the show.

The lights in my kitchen all decided to go out at the same time. The flood light over the sink was just a simple replacement with one of these:

75W Equivalent Daylight (5000K) BR30 Dimmable LED Light Bulb

My 48" fluorescents also needed replacements, so I got 4 of these:

InstantFit 4 ft. T8 32-Watt Cool White (4000K) Linear LED Light Bulb
Unfortunately, these lights didn't seem to turn on, so I realized I needed to replace my ballasts with 2 of these:

AmbiStar 120-Volt 3 to 4-Lamp T8 Instant Start Electronic Fluorescent Replacement Ballast

Now I don't have to cook by the light of my open refrigerator.

Few reasons. Electronics in the Minis are kinda garbage. The base engine was annoying me and quite sluggish once you were already at freeway speeds. Few other odds and ends. Nothing on its own that was a deal breaker but combined it wasn't a car I wanted to keep long term.

Mustangs aren't built by BMW so you dodge cooling system and electrical issues and parts are reasonably-priced to boot.

Zoom 5341J DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem to replace the Arris SB6141 I have now that resets itself constantly throughout the day. TWC has a head-end problem in my area that causes a channel to drop, resulting in the modem rebooting, and they won't fix it because it only affects personally-owned modem subscribers.

Welp, my Civic needs a new AC compressor but I think I'll just drive it into the Pacific instead.


Some prescription eyeware. I had to get my CA drivers license recently and could barely pass the vision test so I decided it was time to get a new prescription and glasses. Haven't worn glasses or contacts in over a decade so this should be fun getting used to.

I snagged the collector's edition of Age of Ultron for $18.
Also picked up the Nightmare on Elm St. Collection on BluRay along with Freddy vs. Jason.

Next batch will be Avatar once it's on BluRay, if ever and Korra once the show is done. Would also like to own Adventure Time digitally to use while working.
