BSG Spoilers and more Vinyl
Oct. 18th, 2005 04:13 pmSo, the fucked up and failed to send me a record. I complained. No reply. Then I complained though paypal, and y'know what, I got a single through the post today... accompanied by *another*, free, single. Woot!
Of course, the one problem is despite 300k of resistors, it's still distorting. I'm beginning to consider that the 'phono' input on that amplifier is no-such-thing, but instead a proprietory phono intended only for whatever record deck was meant to be with it.
*Sigh*
At any rate, I'm picking up a freecycle Denon amp this evening, I hope, so that might rock.
I also picked up my prescription, I'd forgotten to collect it on Saturday, so yesterday was conducted at half dose. Fortunately my lecture finished at 1130 so I was able to pick up my tablets and have my morning one. Sanity rules! :-)
I've got enough of my state sponsored drug habit to take my nice shiny drugs to 'merkia. They're not interesting drugs, just maintain my endocrine system in some degree of a useful state; and kill my allergies a bit. I've only got one pack of the allergy tablets which is annoying. £19.50 for flipping tablets. Nominal prescription charge my *arse*.
Actually, I didn't feel too bad for missing one tablet. Meh. Might be worth cutting down for the sake of my knackered liver
And yeah, so, I watched the second half of the second season of Battlestar Galactica today, the bastards! ( spoilers lurk beneath the deep blue cut )
The Ciccone album arrived Saturday, it rocks. Although I had to pay extra fricki'n postage 'cos the seller hadn't paid it all, so he put 17p short in stamps on and I get to pay £1 handling charge plus the frickin' postage. Grrr.
