My BLT drive on my computer just went AWOL, and I have this big project due tomorrow for Mr Kawasaki. If I screw up, he'll make me commit hari-kari

"I'm gonna take you to the bank Senator Trent. To the Blood Bank" hahaha one of the worst one-liners ever. Guess the movie.

I have no issue with sports being cancelled because: A: Idiots were jumping quarantine to go to sporting events and, B: I can actually enjoy listening to my vintage radios while working on stuff both inside and outside the house. Ohio is sports obsessed and weekends are almost endless games with hours of droning pre and post-game shows.

Ok technology, I'm ready for my laser whip from the Jonny Mnemonic movie.

Aargh! I made it to the final battle with Kong on Gameboy Donkey Kong 1994, and couldn't win! How unfulfilling! I've never finished this game.

Amazon has a really good deal on the first 3 Rambo movies in 4K. $12.99 ea/ with a $3 coupon on top of that. So each one is only $9.99 at checkout. I grabbed them.

Amazon is recommending an anime to me I've never heard of: Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie (4K). It's from the early 1980's, and looks interesting. Chances of me liking it? I like Royal Space Force, Fire & Ice, Appleseed...

Anyone else add extra toppings when you bake a frozen pizza? You should add extra minutes to the cooking time if you do it though.

Beat-Em-Ups...the term itself, a construct. Did we just call them 'fighting games' before Street Fighter II happened? I can't remember anymore. The advent of the FPS forced us to come up with the term Shoot-em-up (shmup), since they hijacked the generic 'shooter'.

Been trying to beat King Of Dragons solo on SNES. I have a good shot at it with the Warrior. The Dwarf is a no-go.

Broke my eyeglasses the other day, and I've been wearing a 4-5 year old prescription backup pair. Getting in this afternoon to the eye doctor for an exam, and get some new glasses. I'm 44 and still not on bifocals yet, I keep expecting to have to switch to that sometime soon.

Hope you aren't getting headaches wearing the old prescription!
I'm 51 and have had progressives for about 6 years. Fortunately I've had the same prescription the past 3 years. Presbyopia truly sucks since the sides/peripheral vision is always unclear now, and I have to direct my head straight-on to see things clearly, like reading smaller signs while driving. Even if I get laser/lasic .. the bifocal/reading problem wouldn't get fixed. I will say my own anecdotal experience -- both I and wife went to Walmart optical first to save money, but those progressive lenses were CRAP compared to going to a real eye optician . My 1st pair, from Walmart optical, if I moved my head, the floor rolled like waves of the sea! My 2nd pair on (from my usual family eye doctor) were much better quality. I now get digital (they scan your eyes). Other than the side-view blurriness, I don't even think about it most times.

Costco has a good optical department -- their lenses are high quality and include anti-scratch and anti-glare coatings in the very reasonable price. They don't take insurance but that's OK because they're cheap anyway. They have some fashionable frames and are happy to fill another doctor's prescription. I've been happy with them for my eyeglasses needs.
Now that I have IOLs (look it up) I kinda miss their glasses department.
-
Yeah, definitely have this running headache from the strain of an old prescription. I'm prone to migraines anyway. I usually pay quite a bit for lenses because I have to have every amenity for my job (UV protection, anti-glare, scratch resistance etc..). I get nice quality frames too because I like the light weight and durability, they can get banged around once in awhile. Unfortunately I didn't break them because of my job, although I'm not sure the boss would have compensated me anyway.

Can you invest money in Amazon Prime Delivery? Because that thing is going to bury all the other package delivery services out there

Castlevania 64 is a good game.

It's certainly a rather relaxed game when you play it, I never feel rushed. Kind of just take your time and figure out the puzzles, and move on. The auto-targeting works really well, and my biggest complaint would be the shoddy camera, which is usual for N64 titles, so it's not like CV64 stands out negatively in that regard either.

Did any other Rock bands follow the Heart model, which was hard rock in the 70s, the successfully transition to light songs in the 80s?

Eating frozen pizza for dinner, watching TV for a bit. The worst Jean Claude Van Damme movie is on, Derailed. I'm a big fan, always have been. I consider myself an expert on all things JCVD. This is the worst movie he has.

Firing up the grill maybe for the last time this year. Got some Asian BBQ marinaded pork chops...mmmm! This weekend it's cooling down quite a bit.
