How is Everyone Today- New

People still have some sort of disk player.

I have most of the TV shows I watch owned on fresh copies and new disks which nobody has watched yet.

The other reason is that shows get removed from Netflix before you can finish them. (Warehouse 13 and the Librarians are two cases I've seen it happen.) Also said shows may not be there to rent.

If I own a show on DVD I can take my time on it and finish it clean without the disk deciding not to work so as of this morning for reasons stated I dropped Netflix back to movies only.

Also Power Rangers is no longer there for disk rental. I looked and they were almost all gone to rent.

Sorry about the bad news on Power Rangers.

Tonight was the inaugural Whatever Night Stream (name pending) on the YST server and since I was the mad lass who suggested, volunteered, and did it anyway regardless of anyone else's feelings on the matter, I got to pick the programming.

So it was the first six episodes of Samurai Troopers followed by the first two episodes of:
- Shinkenger
- Gaim
- Fourze
- Ghost

It went over quite well. And unsurprisingly the handful of people that tuned in loved everything... except Ghost. Can't say I blame them on that. And even more surprisingly, Fourze was met with universal praise.

Anyway it went over well enough that I'm going to be doing more over the course of the week since I'm off until March and we're discussing the possibility of turning this into a weekly thing with different people hosting.

I have one more on Flux.

The new Doctor Who has been interesting. It makes sense to do a 6 part mini series.

I wonder if given COVID 19 this will become a regular format starting next series.

And today marks 31 years on this earth, despite the best efforts of several government organizations, 11 of which I didn't know existed until last night, and one very determined resident of southern Canada.

HAPPY BORN-ON DATE!

Hopefully you?ll have a good day

I have untreatable depression and it causes insomnia like you wouldn’t believe..
So I bought a buncha Figuarts because awaiting toys from AmiAmi makes me feel better temporarily. Mental health is no joke

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not too knowledgable on mental health, but I suggest not using spending as a form of mental relief, you'll just be setting yourself up for more trouble later on once stuff piles up and your wallet dries.

Anyway, we're here for you. Hang in there!

Thanks.. but the money thing is not an issue, I’ll just draw more of it

rather have the nice stuff that gets my mind at ease, one wallet draining figure after another-after so many years of collecting toys(I started collecting in 1989), it truly brings me a modicum of happiness when I feel like a crap-sandwich. Money is just paper WE give meaning to, after all...

DH2! Sitting around waiting for jury duty to start and AmiAmi to send me a bill?..

Why is good help so hard to find these days?! *sighs and begins gathering weapons and other utensils* If you need something done right, do it yourself.

Happy Birthday.
