just a brief status update.
- we fixed the oven. with a little advice from bunners, we just swapped out the 4 prong plug for a 3 prong plug. works fine, and now we can y'know. actually cook meals.
- we finished clearing out boxes in the living room. fully half of what was brought is being thrown away, but that does just leave the boxes in the dining room to sort through.
- i didn't mention it here, but my stepfather sent his huge fishtank up. i've always said how i wanted it some day when he was done with it, but the problem was that he was sick of the two fish inside. one is a like, foot long catfish of some sort and the other is a fat, fat tetra about three inches long. and he sent them in buckets, in the back of a moving van. miraculously they survived, but now they're our probem. i can deal with a huge fat tetra, but a foot long catfish? i originally mistook the catfish for a pleco until i saw its mouth. thing is, it could KEEP GROWING even if i got it a larger tank (it's too big for the tank he sent) and i'd just rather re-home it.
currently both fish are still living in buckets. in the kitchen. with bubble stones in there to help them. but still. buckets of fish.
- in sorting through the hundreds of boxes we found a couple gems. like my old deer skinning knife my dad gave me when i was maybe eight years old, and alf's copies of
rgibson's comics. also about six thousand blank sketchbooks, some takeshi murakami stickers and the address of my host family when i lived in japan. swanky.
- we also got a tree yesterday. yes i know i'm a jewy jewy jew, but i've always liked the ritual of a tree. my family never made it religious in any way (my dad was raised catholic and didn't see any point in forcing it on his offspring) and the tree-topper was always a wooden bird (cardinal, for you north americans). so that's up but not fully decorated, we'll do that tonight.
- i plan on doing a "Propaganukka" thing for seven days/eight nights where i'll post screencaps/commentary on my LJ about 90s/80s anti drug propaganda. if you didn't know this already, i collect the stuff because i find it inheritly hilarious with few exceptions. i'll probably do the Star Trek animated series episode (fictional drugs from Mudd of course), the GI joe episode (TEAM UP WITH COBRA TO STOP THE DRUG MENACE), the Raccoons episode (SMOKING WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE), Straight Up (live action with horrible songs oh god it's great) and a few others.

I so totally love it!
If you haven't gotten around to it, I recommend again the US Gummint's film Marijuana (1968?) narrated by Sonny Bono.
It can be seen on YouTube

2- it's already pretty well documented, kind of an internet legend. i don't like to talk about it.
3- japan was fun and i taught english. australia was horrible and i came home rather than commit suicide.
1. Love the tree. Use blue and white lights. It's wonderful. (When I was growing up, EVERYONE had Christmas lights. The Jews on the corner had blue and white ones.)
2. And don't forget the midnight showing of Reefer Madness. One of the all time greats.
Bunners
PS, glad to hear you got the oven working.
good old reefer madness. if i had a VHS player i could even watch my clunky old VHS double feature of it + night of the living dead. you ever seen the musical version? shockingly good!
