A new level of geek.

Today I hit my favorite second hand store, and I scored big time. Well it was big to me anyways.

Thirty-nine  Issues of "the magizine of fantasy & science fiction" and"analog".They range from 1981-1983, Including the month of my birth.  I've never read any science fiction magizines, but the idea strikes a cord in me. Worlds from a dozen diffrent authers all in one pretty package with a cool painting on the front.

Hey look what I found!

I came across  a bag of Books I bought a few months ago, I forgot about them and this is the first time I've seen them since. I do this alot, it's like Chirstmas everytime I come across them. So this is the gift I gave myself:

  • Alfred Hitchcock presents: The masters choice('79)
  • Hitchcock's tales to keep you spell bound('76)
  • Hitchcock's tale to take you breath away('77)
  • Hitchcock's stories that go bump in the night('77)
  • Alfred Hitchcock presents: stories to be read with the door locked.('75)

These are collections of a couple dozen short stories each,The only authers I recognize are Phillip k. Dick and Roald Dahl.

These are all hard cover with dust jackets.

My moneys worth

I stopped in at EB today looking for a birthday present for my cousin,she wanted brain age to go with the DS I had gotten her for cristmas.Just my luck drove all the way across town and they didn't have it, But just as I was about to leave something caught my eye. Not a game but a price, $2.99. First was Break'em all, a break-out clone. 3 out of 5. Second was Flushed away, based on the pixar movie of the same name, a crappy platformer. 0.5 out of 5.

Most of the time a quality game can be had for twenty dollars. I recently got space invaders extreame and Cross worDS for the great price of twenty clams each.

A Begining

Okay ladys & gentleman, This blog is going to feature all the nerd, geeky, dorky and just plain dum things I collect and make. Let's just hope I can keep up with myself.
