(^_^)  earlier in the week, after i got over the second of two disgustingly snotty illnesses, i finally got to spend some time with our Wii. i&#8217;ve pretty much been too sick since christmas to play with the thing, so i went on a marathon of bowling. i beat the heck out of my dad! i stole his mojo~  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/awinnerisme.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:22 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/awinnerisme.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  and now we move on to thrift store moments! our first one comes to you in two parts, an item discovered in the christmas\/holiday goods room of a local goodwill.  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/padfaraway.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:26 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/padfaraway.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  can&#8217;t spot it yet? let me make it a little clearer:  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/padcloseup.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:25 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/padcloseup.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  that&#8217;s right, a pad. luckily unused, but i think this is one of the weirder things i&#8217;ve ever seen at a thrift store.  occassionally, i do see some cool things, however. this afternoon, i found the following:  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/atthethriftstore.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:21 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/atthethriftstore.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  that&#8217;s right, circa 1995, a palm pilot VII! and is the box just a facade? is it just a trick to get us to search the shop for more goodies?  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/thriftcloseup.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:28 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/thriftcloseup.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  NO! it&#8217;s actually a palm VII. and with all the goods, too. i swear, i almost bought that thing. do i have a palm T|X? yes. do i need another palm? no. one that&#8217;s so old, it thinks supporting the internet is a pretty neat idea? certainly not. did i want to buy it anyway? i kinda did.  that is, until i found this:  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/CR1610-full.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:20 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/CR1610-full.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  it&#8217;s a Risograph CR1610ui. it&#8217;s like a photocopier, only with different technology. it prints off of a drum like a newspaper or something, so it prints like 130 copies a minute! it&#8217;s meant for schools and places like that, that have to print off a bunch of copies of one thing. what happens is you put your original in, it makes a master of that original, and then you can print however many copies you want. it&#8217;s cheaper per copy for mid-level print jobs than copiers or printers. so i&#8217;ll probably be headed back there tomorrow  afternoon to buy the thing. coz it&#8217;s just so awesome!  and to close, we have the inevitable:  <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/spagettios.jpg'><!-- s9ymdb:27 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"serendipity_image_center\" width=\"110\" height=\"83\" style=\"border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/uploads\/phone-pictures\/spagettios.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>  my mother and father went out for a dinner date this evening, and so we ended up having spagettios here at home. it may seem like we just couldn&#8217;t find anything else to eat, but it just turns out that every time they have a date, we happen to have spagettios in the house. if we don&#8217;t watch it we&#8217;re gonna end up pavolvian about it.
