The "What's on your mind?" thread

You can probably look into gatorlyte powder through online retailers. Powder is how I make mine dirt cheap.

Don't, you'll get inundated by Satan disciples.

Ha, well she seems really cool and like a good person to hang out with. Admittedly, I know nothing about satanism and normally I wouldn't assume it's anything nice. She seems very cool though and as far as I know, she doesn't sacrifice animals so that's a plus

Saw The Bikeriders today and now thinking about what movie I'm going to watch at home tonight. Okay, mind made up. One more game of WWE2K19 and then I'll watch Johnny English Strikes Again for the second time.

i don't understand my local game xchange so few years ago you decided can't do buy 2 get 1 free

today besides have 3 blurays i had a bunch of dvd's to give them<-usually they don't give me much if i asked cash back or discount

however last week they decided no longer trade in dvds, only blurays

yet you are a place that still sell dvd's videogames comics/graphic novels blurays and 4k's

next thing will have can't trade in blurays meh so basically i trade in 3 blurays for a dollar and some change as far as bag of dvds goes i just gave them away

man i sure missed sam goody/fye store that was top of hill where walmart was in my little town before they closed down


yep my town only a walmart not even a target

Even here in the Bay Area, trade-in stores like Rasputin's Music have closed down. There's only a few left I believe. Many people just don't buy physical media anymore. It's sad but it seems inevitable that the future will be mainly just steaming options. So yeah just hold on to your favorite movie and TV show discs.

Whoever inherits our movie collections after we die they'll all end up in thrift stores from free donations. ...Including 4K Criterion Collection.

We’re going back 24 years. I was a freshman in high school and everyone had this cd. “Butterfly” being the hit single.

The lead singer, Shifty Shellshock passed away at 49 today. RIP

I remember them. Never had the full CD. I do have the CD single (remember those) with a few remixes on it. Ol' Shifty. RIP.

You tell her to shout at the devil. She may have the looks that kill. But you're too young to fall in love. Grab dr. feelgood and meet her on the wild side.

Went with KFC today.



It’s a bangin’ piece of chicken unlike CFA, McDonald’s & Wendy’s.

Thinking about the Monday-Thursday 8-1 job I'll be interviewing for on Monday morning. Will go immediately afterwards and ask the Safe Harbor schedulers if they'd be willing to work around that schedule. Imagine they will, I get the impression I was mainly hired by Safe Harbor to do shifts later in the day.

Worst part is, every time I go to their site I'm confronted by that stupid pop up window telling me to sign up for a 10% discount. I've done it once and it doesn't work a second time so why do I have to hit a wall every time I visit them?

Yeah I would go elsewhere. I recommend OrbitDVD as they seem to ship my orders within 1 business day which is awesome. Sometimes within hours!

Diabolik sat on my order for like 11 days and it arrived damaged. It was clearly packed that way which was disappointing. Thankfully they did send a replacement. Another issue I have is even though they ship from NJ, they’re based in Philly and charge me 10% sales tax because I’m from PA!

I'm in California and get charged tax. I think it's out of their hands. This is a change that started near the beginning of this year I believe.

PA is 6% but because they’re “in the city” PA residents get taxed 10%. Out of their hands, yes but a bit strange considering their actual address is in NJ along with the phone number.

That’s why I give Orbit my money now. Even if they charged me tax, it would still be cheaper to order through them. Thankfully they do not charge any tax.

Just had another phone consultation with the guy doing the photoshoot. I am ordering a photo book to go along with the photos as well. Something like a coffee table book. The guy suggested maybe adding in some quotes or writing of mine since we won't have enough photos for a large book like I would want. I had toyed with the idea of making a book with some of my lyrics in them. This is really perfect. I have decided to go with the format used for Tori Amos' Under The Pink album. Which means I have to come up with 12-18 pieces to put in the photo book. I've got plenty written. So, now I've got to get them together. I am also waiting in anticipation for my copy of The Sugarcubes' The Great Crossover Potential. I bought the vinyl a while back, but haven't opened it yet because I was waiting to get the CD. I just ordered the CD yesterday. It should arrive tomorrow. I'll probably listen after the screening of Eyes Wide Shut in 35mm tomorrow night, which I'm so stoked about.

LI, NYC and Westchester residents get charged 8.625% sales tax and the rest of NYS 4%. In Suffolk County, the tax is 4.625% for some purchases under $100.

Where are they screening EWS? I would love to see that on the big screen in 35mm. Got some unfortunate news this week that WB is not releasing it for the 25th Anniversary.

Fingers crossed they’ll license it out to Criterion.

[LordoftheRings]

Long weekend comin' up. I got a good plan; just relax, enjoy the scenery.
Someone has to do it, might as well be me.

[sfmarine]

Barnes & Noble Criterion 50% off sale begins tomorrow. Kino is also running a sale. RIP my wallet.

[LordoftheRings]

You need to get a bigger wallet.

Anyone eat at Wahlburgers? I’ll be going to Atlantic City next month and they have one at the casino I’m staying at. I figure it won’t be as good as Shake Shack. Best to go in with low expectations.
