I hate this I have a flat on the car front tire. guess I will have to take out some from the trust for that and the crowns in my mouth.

Also feels like something is off still since I quit my job as I can do somethings but now its seemingly becoming worse. Maybe I should get an appointment soon but I just had one Friday and the pscyhartrist seem to think I was fine.

It's this movie here


Tyrok made a post showing the new Blu Rays that Best Buy would be carrying next week. One is Resistance starring Jesse Eisenberg. It reminded me to check the status of that preorder. According to my DB collection here, I preordered it for $15.99 directly from Shout. Well it turns out that I didn't really order it and I ordered The Resistance Fighter twice, once from Shout and once from Target.

So it appears to be quite easy canceling with Shout since the movie hasn't shipped out. I cancel it and then I decide to check my bank account and to my surprise, they charged me for all three items back on the day I ordered. So many places only charge for items as they ship. The problem is that I have a new debit card so if they do issue me a refund (they may tell me to go **** myself), it may not go through since the means of charge is no longer valid.

To be continued...

I recently had an order of Blu-rays lost in the mail and, thankfully, the boutique label I ordered from has a generous policy of sending replacements if available. The replacement order arrived and, lo and behold, the original order turned up a few days later. The contents' value was upwards of $100. So, being the honest guy that I am, I sent the original package back to them at my expense (sent it Priority, which was $8 and some change). Now, am I being unreasonable if I say I expected some form of gratitude from these guys? Like, gee, I don't know, at least a Thank You email? I could've easily kept the Blu-rays and re-sold them, which I actually briefly considered. Maybe next time I'll just keep the extras even if it makes me feel grimy.

Something similar happened to me once (received two copies of something I paid for only once) and I didn’t send it back. This was years ago and from a huge company, not a boutique label. A “thanks” would be nice but for now you’ll just have to enjoy the guilt-free conscious.

So I thanked myself?

I've always been an honest person. A clean conscience is a powerful thing.

Otto Jespersen from Troll Hunter , hes also played Baron Blood (spoof on black metal) , Nazi Per (who thinks nazis are misunderstood) , Duggurd (weirdo farmer....hide the sheep , lol) , Birger (parody of wellfare client , very naive character)

I remember another skit where he played Taarnfrid , anyway the actress could barely get thru the skit , she almost wet herself with laughter at Otto in drag , lmao

Black humor and trolling , thats Otto in a nutshell , he he

What county is this person from? How much is the item compared on the US site compared to on their site? What about the shipping cost? If you order it from Amazon US and something goes wrong and you have to call customer service, it could be easier dealing with them since it's local. Of course it's not that hard to email Amazon in one of the other countries.

If you had it shipped from Amazon to you first, you could write a nice little note and include it and then ship it on

One thing I don't get is what temperature to put it at for it start. i guess this beyond my capabilities.

I watched a trailer for Reprisal (Bruce Willis, Frank Grillo) not too long ago and I thought it looked like a watchable action flick. I just checked IMDb and the user review on the page gave it a 1-star and was titled "THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE THIS TWO STARS MUST BE RELATED TO BRUCE"

Why I didn't update my FMW for my Pioneer BDP-51FD by now is beyond me but hey it's updated let's watch some movies to see if I messed up anything

damn some of the ones I want to see are in storage. I can fix that by taking a road trip.

Oh that’s a good idea, I think I’ll do that.
