Yay the seller is totally cool about it.

Dear ninjainspandex,

That's very strange - I check all my games before sending it out.

But I do have a few more copies on hand. Rest assured, I will send you another disc ASAP. And I will follow up with the post office about this. Did you notice any damage/rips on the package when you received it?

Thank you very much and I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

I feel good about the things I had to say in the interview but as always I'm still not sure how well it went. I mostly have concerns about how brief it seemed. Only took about 11 minutes. Not that it should take longer than that.

Sick as a dog, eyes are dilated,11$ short of infini factory on steam.

I missed school and picked up the Inherent Vice book.

I kind of stepped away for a minute. Whatever happened to jvalentine? I sorta enjoyed reading his threads.

What, am I the only one who likes a little controversy?

I dunno...I've always rather disliked "Caucasian" and "African-American".

It's so much easier to use "white" and "black", or even better, euphemisms! We've got salt 'n pepper, white chocolate & dark chocolate, the list goes on. Damn it, now it's not controversial at all! I've gone and made it fun.

Shit.

I do love how the writer cleverly used "City of Compton".

I just got a sheet approved to not work tonight/tomorrow morning, so I can go to this arcade auction myself. I'm still not 100% sure what to expect -- pics looked okay cosmetically, but I have no idea how many people are going to show up, how much it's going to go for, etc etc.

Worried about how long the auction itself will take. There's 175 lots, all lots must be removed at the end of the auction, and "large lots" (which I assume all arcade games count as) cannot be removed until the end of the auction. It starts at 10am... roughly 35 minutes away from me, give or take. I must be at work by 3:55pm, I'd like to be there by 3:45pm. I'm only 5-10 minutes from home to work, but I need to turn in the van too. The reason I stress "Must" is because I'm working the 4pm-midnight shift for someone else in a shift trade (set up long before I knew about this auction) which means I can't use my vacation time for it, and it's REALLY bad if I'm late on a shift swap, they can revoke your rights to do them for that (and I do a TON of them)... so I clearly can't be late.

Now I'm going "175 lots seems like a lot to bust through in the 4, 4.5 hours or so I can spend there"... BUT the good news is one random auction site I found online claims their auctions take "about 4 hours" buuuut they also say they go through 500-600 lots in that time. Another random auction site I found claims they do about 125 lots an hour (which would be about the same rate as the first site I found). So I'm praying we should be able to bust this thing out in 1.5-2 hours, I can load it up, drive it home, unload, drop off the truck, and still play with it for an hour or two before work

This is, of course, assuming I can scoop one of the 2 Neos up for sale at a reasonable price.

/ - started the purge of my closet....this is a scary but exciting endeavor. Sadly out of the pants I pulled out of there I think the only long pants I have that may even remotely fit me are some slim straights(either i still need to break them in more or they need to go) and my work pants(I might have a second pair of jeans that I can wear but this just proves I've lost enough weight to constitute this happening). Already eliminated a good bit of junk and it feels so ggggoooooddd!! Still need to pull out the totes in the garage and go through them too, but I think it's a safe bet that i should've trash bagged it all minus a few things for just a few outfits to last me... Wish I hadn't started this but it's going to be nice to see some of it go so some of it can be replaced with better stuff.
