Cammy's Big Rambly Journal

Hello! I notice you're using Netscape (or other CSS-noncompliant user agent—in which case, consider this an easter egg) to view this journal. Because Netscape is so titanically shit, I have disabled image viewing on Netscape specifically. If I didn't, you would notice random images being replaced with each other and similar such strangeness. The posts are still visible, but you'll be missing the images, which are half the context of these posts.

You should use RetroZilla if you can; it runs on Windows 95 and up and gives you a perfect cammy.somnol viewing experience, plus more comfortable Web browsing on retrocomputers in general. Failing that, Internet Explorer 3 (which amusingly also displays this message, since it doesn't support the display CSS property) and up will also work perfectly fine for seeing my journal posts.

Library pickups

You didn't buy any actual books??


And a small little update to finish out my back catalog of them—the library was having its annual used book and media sale over the weekend, and we went twice to check out what was up. You'd be surprised at the selection, at least at the start of the sale. The CDs and DVDs especially fun to pick through, and the DVDs in particular gave me intense wistfulness for the Cardiff CEX, because the selection and prices were really similar.

Among other things (including a copy of Buddha, the first blink-182 record, of all the ones I could've found, two Smash Mouth CDs, and a little curated boxset of episodes of Penn and Teller: Bullshit!, which I used to watch reuploaded YouTube copies of all the time as a kid), I now own a stack of fucking Redwall audiobooks in hard plastic cases. These come on 10-12 CDs apiece, and yes, all of them are in there. If they'll play, I have no idea. Probably. I'm mostly impressed I found so many of them. One of these isn't Redwall, it's another fantasy looking book from Brian Jacques, but it was half-price day, so I took it. Will let you know if it's any good.

Everything I got from the library sale

All this came out to about $13, most of that for the audiobooks. CDs in particular were a dollar apiece. I have thought about this Onion video basically every day for a week now.
