images, videos, ramblings… comment away!

a few months ago my wife and i were lucky enough to stay at the marriot aruba surf club for our honeymoon.  beach, pool, food, sun, fun, blah blah blah.  what i’m here to post is the great blue-screen-of-death shot that the tv had one day & the windows error on the tv guide channel from another day.  reboot your hotel!

hey!  tommy lasorda just made a cameo on the tonight show! did you have sega genesis years ago?  do you still have it now? no! emulators do not count.  well i sold my genesis about 8 years ago along with all of its games (thanks again, ebay!) .. one being tommy lasorda baseball.  it had many flaws, but it was one of my go-to genesis baseball games (below the r.b.i. series, of course).   damn!  that reminds me i also sold my michael jackson’s moonwalker game in the original box w/manual during that same time.

so i’m in my studio finishing some music and it has to be at least 85 (AND HUMID) up here.  i can’t put the AC on… because i can’t hear the music completely with the cold-making-machine humming along.  very productive night!  was able to complete about 5 minutes worth of music for this tv show i’m composing for, Gunn.

have i mentioned that i love ebay?  ok ok, i tolerate ebay, their fees are off the charts.  combine them with their paypal fees and you’re looking at an astronomical percentage of your final sale $ going bye-bye.  ANYWAY… i was able to sell my broken playstation 3 for $167.50 (not including $15 shipping).  not bad for a unit that doesn’t even boot up and just gives you a blinking red light.  YES, the buyer knows it’s broken, i mentioned it about 50 times in my listing description.  most people that sell their broken ps3’s get about $125, so i was pleasantly surprised to see the last minute bidding war take it over $160!
