Last week I had a little money come in unexpectedly, so this week I have been getting new Toys.\u00a0 The biggest thing is a new TV.\u00a0 I am pretty sure I mentioned this possibility a week ago; now it has happened.\u00a0 The new set came in yesterday while I was at work and so when I got home Sam and I put it in place and then I put it together.\u00a0 I have long dreamed of having a TV with a clear, crisp, bright image; now I have it.<\/p>\n
Also, Sam’s new computer case arrived yesterday.\u00a0 I ordered mine in the morning, so it should arrive by Monday or Tuesday of next week.\u00a0 My new motherboard, the one replacing the defective one I got, theoretically shipped yesterday, but I didn’t get a tracking number yet so I can’t say for sure.\u00a0 I kind of hope it arrives next week, so I can put it in the new case directly.<\/p>\n
I also got some videos.\u00a0 Amazon had the original Superman<\/em> movie series in a single case, two disc set for sale cheap.\u00a0 I had been figuring on spending seventy or eighty dollars on it but got it for under eleven.\u00a0 I also got season one of Ranma 1\/2<\/em>, an amusing anime series.\u00a0 This is a first for me:\u00a0 I don’t have any other TV shows on DVD, not even any American ones.\u00a0 I hope some day to have all of the Star Treks, but thus far my DVD collection only includes movies and now the first season of Ranma<\/em>.<\/p>\n If you’re not familiar with Ranma<\/em>, you should be forewarned it’s not an American cartoon show by any stretch.\u00a0 It’s about a high school boy who turns into a girl when he gets hit with cold water and back again when he gets hit with hot water.\u00a0 This is a Japanese show, and there’s plenty of naked cartoon boobs on display throughout the show.\u00a0 The title character’s upper body is exposed in female form in almost every episode.<\/p>\n Anyway, I am enjoying my new stuff.\u00a0 I have a new winter coat on the way, a couple of videos (Disney’s animated American Tail<\/em> movies and Twister<\/em>), the computer game Civilization IV<\/em> (yes, that’s a version behind now, but it was cheap) and a case for the new toy I got my roommate as an early Christmas gift, which was a Kindle.<\/p>\n I have been impressed by the Kindle, by the way.\u00a0 I still think it’s a little overpriced for what it does, but it is<\/em> an excellent e-reader.\u00a0 Setup was terribly easy once I got it in range of a wifi signal I have access to.\u00a0 I was particularly impressed by how fast books showed up on the device after I ordered them on a regular computer.\u00a0 No connection to the device from said computer; I just ordered books (mostly free ones) and like magic they were suddenly available on the Kindle.\u00a0 I will add as a final note that Sam is very happy with it and fixed me a nice thank-you lunch and gave a big thank-you hug and kiss.\u00a0 It’s rare at best that I see her as excited over a thing<\/em> as she has been over her new Kindle.<\/p>\n All right, enough chatter for this week.\u00a0 See you tomorrow with some fresh poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week I had a little money come in unexpectedly, so this week I have been getting new Toys.\u00a0 The biggest thing is a new TV.\u00a0 I am pretty sure I mentioned this possibility a week ago; now it has happened.\u00a0 The new set came in yesterday while I was at work and so when […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=105"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions\/106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.shadowkatmandu.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
