Today I treated myself a bought a large handmade Damascus steel athame. This thing is really sick looking and I can’t wait till it gets here. Very cool blade.

There is something I want to get for cosplaying purposes, but the price tag is a bit on the hefty side. Well... Hefty for me since I don't earn as much as most people do. Until I can get more money, I have to settle for purchasing trading card singles which is what I did two days ago.

Does paying for a service count? if by technicality, I sent my PS2 Slim in for repair, for all intents and purposes, may as well had been paid for, as I am about to when it is returned. I got tired of it scratching discs so it needed fixing.

That's no good at all!  

(Also congratulations for correct spelling for a modern storage disc, not 'disk' which is short for 'diskette' so-called because it was the smaller (and better) version of the original 8-inch (diameter) floppy disc (with a 'c')    )

I managed to get those discs repaired as well, some people were not so fortunate with theirs, and it depends how deep they are. And yeah the PS2 slim models had this issue where the ribbon cable bends up toward the disc as it spins and the read lens moves back and forth, I looked it up online. Such a serious design flaw, I know the cheap non scratch resistant plastic on DVD's doesn't help, but an oversight like that, makes me wonder how Sony's PS2 became so popular, a design flaw like that is just as bad as Microsoft's Xbox 360 RROD IMO. That's planned obsolescence for you, I knew someone who may have been able to fix this though, but in order to repair it, he may have to mod the console, I'm fine with that outcome as long as it works.

Four new waistcoats.

All the same design and pattern, but in four different colours. One in light green, one in dark green, one in light blue and the other one in white.
