One of these. It looks small on there, but it's as big as a tote/large shoulder bag. I quite like it, it's quite lovely. :)

Bought a used Acer 22" widescreen LCD monitor for about 20 dollars, because my secondary monitor just died.

Thinking about secondary monitors now. Wondering if I should buy one.

Some herb, after meeting some girl yesterday. There seemed something....well, not 'not quite right' about her, but as if something was amiss. Seemed really shaken up, can't remember if she said she was 13 or 16, seemed like she was at least somewhat drunk, kept holding on to my arm for support, said she just wanted someone friendly around, couldn't help but wonder if she'd just had trouble from someone, seemed like she was on the verge of tears, or perhaps had been crying. Asked me if I had a spare smoke, stopped to make her a few rollups, and we got talking. Don't know what it was, but something definitely felt like it wasn't quite right.  Seemed like a nice enough lass, whatever it was that was off, it didn't feel like it was something about her, more, related to her, if that makes sense, an event of some sort.                                                                   She said she was alright though, I just got the sense she might be troubled in some way.

Could just have been drunk though, she did seem to need assistance not going into the road, but not incoordinated like she was dead drunk. But uninhibited enough to link arm with someone she'd just met, that she didn't know until then.                   
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

The crossover filters I ordered from eBay arrived today. Cheap, but they actually look well-made. It's going to be interesting to hear what they do to the speakers. I need to by some woofers first, though.

Not THAT kind of woofer.

The puppy likes surround sound, I've discovered. She sat on the sofa with me today while I was playing a proper Dolby Digital concert, her head following the sounds across the room.

A storybook at the thrift shop.  :M

It's called Cats, Cats, Cats :autism:

"In a great big house on the edge of town
Lived a tiny old woman named Mrs. Brown

She had no children, she had no mother
She had no sister, she had no brother

She had no chickens, she had no rats
What Mrs. Brown had were...

Cats, Cats, Cats!"
