"You there, boy! What's today's date??"
"Today, sir? Why it's The Tenth of September, The Anniversary of The Debut On American TV of !"
"Then I haven't missed it. The Five Lions did it all in one night!"
"Oh no, sir: it's been 39 years."

Last night's was brief, but fruitful:

• 2 CDs;
• 1 book;
• 1 shaving kit;
• 1 of the funkiest shirts on the planet (center top); and
• 18 small toys

for a total of $51.

The 2 shirts at top right & left are new orders, both themed.

Thursday I overcame nearly one month of sloth to go back to the gym, somehow steamrolling through my usual workout 30 mins quicker than ordinarily. Lest you believe this evinces renewed passion, I'd say it's more about my refreshed distaste for my fellow iron-pumpers. As a treat I found 3 tees @ the flea mkt, incl a one (albeit XXL), and popped peanut butter balls into my gob while watching that evening's entertainment/distraction content.

It might appear to the untrained eye like I spent 15 hours in bed, and... well, I DID spend 15 hours in bed, but that's b/c I worked 5 hours OT on a hard concrete floor policing entitled drunks around unprotected artwork alone and my foot swole up. MY POINT IS, tho I spent much of that time in bed asleep, when I wasn't I stumbled onto a new mythic figure who will no doubt be on in some capacity TBD once I have a better idea of who they are & what they mean in context.

I don't typically avail myself of the vending machines in the staff cafeteria, especially because I began bringing most food with me from home since the pandemic for the sake of budget & limiting potential exposure, but I was feeling snacky. Not only did it drop an extra bag of Doritos, it had some kind of malfunction & didn't charge me for either of them!

Hey @Dreamworks/WEP: now that @netflix has decided to Blockbuster themselves, can we finally get the last couple seasons of @Voltron on DVD or, gasp, even Blu-Ray? Solely relying on streaming over physical media has never been my thing.

Dear Defender, I see what you've done for others and I want it, too...

This must be Toei's long-game revenge against World Events Productions for snaking away Hyakuju-o Goraion's rights for Voltron, by making a Voltes V live action movie first. youtu.be/AX4MU_YDthI

I did more after work: although I'd thought to go to up to 3 shops, what I found (& spent) @ just 1 satiated me for tonite.

To be clear, I DO put items back, like the ribbed red sweatpants & snazzy if worn red Zara Men sneakers I used to own. I nearly left w/2 books & a WAKANDA FOREVER Talokan toy, til I spied IT in the display case:

A greenish sword, definitely costume but not harmless, w/a carrying sheath. For $30 it's now an athame in my altar.

Granted I'm a grizzled veteran & he's a n00b of MAYBE 2 weeks, but if I'm on another floor & can tell visitors are fucking around on a 100 yo piano behind a cord better than my teammate and, after alerting him, still get to the transgressors 1st AND call it in to a supervisor, well, I'm not sure he'll get to be a grizzled vet: everyone concerned for that. Poor little Pink still waves to me like a happy puppy despite my harsh upbraiding: that's just masochism.
