11:09 pm - Prices
|
The Necronomicon Tarot is $30.
The Kalevala on average is $30.
Pliny the Elder's Natural History is over $100.
So why is a soft cover of The Canterbury Tales with both the English and middle English text only $6.oo?

9:20 am - I don't understand...
|
but I feel like it's fall. It was much cooler yesterday, though. I suppose that's just me waiting for the harvest. Time to weed some more. (I've been procrastinating all day.)
Regardless, I really need to start playing the violin again. It's been almost a week now, and I'm sucking quite badly.

9:42 pm - It really sucks
|
when you want to end work quickly and do something time-consuming that can only be done in the sunlight. Like...gardening? The rains have been heavy, flooding peoples' basements and any depression in the ground, sewage being sent spurting up from peoples' sump pumps. This also caused weeds to overtake my garden and my smaller plants--melon saplings and frail anaheim pepper plants--to be hidden from view. I spent more time than I planned at my friend's house so I figured after work I'd still have a couple hours or even three to work on my garden. Nah! The new guy was taking his time. I wouldn't have minded if he was working slow but was still doing his job, but he spent most of the time talking to the chick in the salad line. Needless to say, by the time I got out it was dark. Looks like I'm going to be waking up early tomorrow for weeding.

11:41 pm - A little Shopping Splurge
|
All that I needed of the PS2 a friend gave me is the power chord. The thing was cheap, but when I saw some games on sale I figured I had to buy them. Used game hunting isn't as easy as it used to be.
(Random Note: why do they still produce games for the PS2?)
The games were Guilty Gear X2*, Xenosaga, and Soul Calibur III. Also, I watched Pelam 123. Awesome movie. The antagonist was just so lovable. I intended on buying nothing else...Father's day is coming up...but I saw record needles on clearance, so I bought one. I'm all set now. And sometime in July I'm buying that hat, going to the ren faire, and the rest of my summer can be spent saving money. Yays!
1. Pretty damn expensive but I figured I'd buy it anyway

8:56 pm - Apparently it wasn't the record
|
|
I played it in the store so that I could point out the issues and it played perfect. Also, they had a sweet-ass sound system. Anyway, I've figured it's either the fault of the needle on the record player or the entire record player. I'm assuming it's to deal with the needle.

10:42 am - Dissapointment
|
I found a vinyl addition of Nightwish's Over the Hills and Far Away. I thought, "finally, I have some modern and* good music to play on the record player. Imagine my sadness to find that the record would skip...several times!
1. Most of the newly made 45s I've found are crappy alternative bands.

10:29 pm - Of Mice and Men
|
At times during gardening I can feel like a terrible person. How can I rip out a weed without disturbing the sleeping place of a June beetle. How can I not feel pity as scores upon scores of potato bugs scurry away in fear from the ground I tear up. And the worms left out in the sun to dry as I stick a shovel deep in the ground in a vain attempt to remove a buckthorn from the soil...roots and all.
All the little makers* removed from their homes.
I've decided not to rotatill. I'm making progress. I'm breaking the garden into four or five...or six segments. I then clear out all the weeds in that section. Tomorrow I will take the hoe to the ground and till the soil...planting lettuce. Next comes the radishes, carrots, and parsnips. After a third section is cleared and tilled* I can finally plant my potatoes. Then comes the tomatoes followed by the peppers. Obviously I don't intend to plant the potatoes and tomatoes close to each other. The two are related* and this increases the chance of some type of disease. Then again the instructions on the bag of potatoes are kinda picky. Who the heck checks for soil acidity?
Regardless, I hope the garden will be ready by Wednesday.

I figured, hey, I've got $35 left from my paycheck*, might as well spend it on something. And so I bought the Necronomicon...since it was it bad shape I managed to get a discount. Hells yeah! Now I've got all of his stories...as far as I know. I certainly don't have any of his story fragments in that book, nor do I have his non-horror related stories (Poetry of the Gods*). Even so, this decreases the number of books I'd spend monies on.
But still I need to weed my garden some more. Maybe I can till the soil next week?
And Wednesday is my choir concert. Boy, are we gonna suck.
1. and after this I'm actually going to be using the bank.
2. Such a cheerful story. I believe I read it one night at 3:oo or so.

The book seemed a bit rushed. Overall, it kinda sucked. And that's saying something, considering the fact that the last three books from Alan Campbell were awesome.

Yesterday my dad rented out a violin for me. Pure awesome. The sound quality is better and I highly doubt I'm going to have much trouble tuning this one. And thanks to stage crew, I now know what the gavotte sounds like. It's still a bitch to learn though. No wonder it's at the back of the book.
And something I came across today.
A Capella Metal.

11:07 pm - Expanding Upon the Campaign
|
In order to allow both the Greek Deities, The Christian God, The Norse Deities, and some from the Cthulhu Mythos, I need some way to explain it.
The best way I can think of it (with exception to the norse gods), is that the Christian God was less than apathetic about the material realm. Meanwhile, Satan decided to take control of the underworld, which previously belonged to the earth gods. Hectate and many others were chased out from the underground or wholly corrupted. Fortunately the ones above ground are fairly safe...but now with demons and devils influencing the material realm, everyone seems just about screwed. Meanwhile, Yahweh has separated his realm as much as he can...leaving those left to fend for themselves as best they can...while simultaneous begging the other deities for support.

Weekly pay, free food...awesome.
And fortunately I didn't have to run all the way there. A coworker on the way was kind enough to drive me there as well.
