So, there is this thing about birthdays. I stopped knowing anyone or seeing anyone. Yet, people still want to hang with me... wish me wells, and that is all pretty cool. But in not knowing me, they shrug off a birthday gift in favor of that monetary paper. Really, I can't say I blame them. If I don't have it, I either get it, or I talk myself into not wanting it as much. Don't have alot set aside for anything but comics and impulse buys. Now when they give me money (bless their hearts) but it really screwed up my system of checks and balances.
Hmmm, I should never write a blog with music in the background. I have the Benny and Joon soundtrack playing in the background. Great movie (and I am finding equally great CD) but it is really screwing with my emotions... at first I would smile remembering silly bits to the movie... now it has all gotten to the crucial tear jerkers in the movie. And I have just remembered they played the "Balloon" song without the balloon. Okay, some of you out there must be going, "CDs he likes music." Well, I cleaned today and came across some.
Anyway, so I was on Ebay, and since I could not be there for the auctions (a blessing in disguise I assure myself) I set an amount and was outbid. It is not so much the losing as it is... losing by mere change. Now, I simply make myself happier by thinking they were willing too bid horrendous amounts to get past me... and God was asleep at the wheel and gave them the good fortune of getting a good deal. God and I have that kind of relationship.
Then I rush home for Comic Zone, only to have it crap out on me. Third week in a row, it is more aggrivation then anything, I should just wait for the archives... although don't be surprised if this one sounds like crap... I think they were having technical difficulties. But luckily, thank heavens, I called a friend and we kind of went back and forth releasing some burdens... very thereputic... and very appreciated.
So, if you couldn't tell from the title... sometimes what you wanted from your day, and what you needed are never exclusive.

I have never seen Benny and Joon. I take it you would recommend it? I have, however, had The Proclaimers (oh, yes, I am sad enough to check the CD track listing on Amazon LOL - so so sad, really) rattling around my head for a couple of days now. Someone found an old CD of theirs here, and has been playing it without mercy.
Sorry about the eBay and Comic Zone stuff - sometimes these things all seem to happen at once, don't they? But it sounds as though your day ended well, and for that I'm glad :-)
Oh, you sneaked in there that you cleaned. I hope there were not too many nasty surprises (of the sort that I know I will have when I delve into the murky depths of the House of Kev).
