I found my PSP today while I was trying to clean dust off of my sleep area. It made me feel old when I tried to play it and the screen seemed really really small. The battery is also no good so if the cord gets bumped it resets the game. If I intend to use it I’ll have to source a replacement battery somewhere. The last time I tried I could only find new old stock, which means chances are the battery isn’t in any better condition than the one I already have. I’m sure someone makes them, so I’ll just have to look around a little harder. That said, I realized that almost every game I would want to play on it is available for newer systems with screens big enough I can see things better. None of that is a top priority for me right now in any case.

Things keep impeding me from doing things I need to do. I spent two days getting sidetracked by little disasters that I couldn’t put off till my other tasks were complete. Much like the dust in my sleep area issue. The dust from the last week of dust storms finally got to a point where little clouds were puffing out of my bedclothes when I tried to lay down. So I dusted and vacuumed and did all the things to fix the issue. Except for washing my two old blankets. I’m just setting them aside for now since they always make the washer go all off balance and you have to nurse them along. I really should replace them at this point, but they’re very expensive right now. I buried Dorothy in the old red one, so I’ve actually been down one since she died. Not that I really needed 3 per se, I had just gotten accustomed to it since I had all 3 for over 15 years.

I haven’t really talked much about Life since Dorothy and Sister died. There’s a very specific emptiness they left behind. Each of the pets have done so. We inherited Precious when Ilene died, so the is a dog still in the house with me when everyone else is gone, but she was someone else’s dog for most of her life, so she always seems a little bit like she’s not completely comfortable with me. She actually seems more like a roommate than a dog sometimes. Not super interested in what I’m doing the way all our other dogs always were. If she’s looking out the window and I walk by the study door she pretty much just keeps doing what she was doing. Sometimes she’ll give me a nod. Once she’s done with her goals she’ll come see if I’m doing something she wants to get in on.

I miss all the pets that have died over the years, but Dorothy and Sister were with me through some really hard times.

I’ve been trying to come up with some bonus material for my patreon accounts for the last 4 days and I got nothin left in the tank. I guess I have a day left. Maybe I can get my shit together and do what I’m supposed to like an adult. At the moment though my brain is just kind of overwhelmed with all the dust and nonsense.

In any case I hope you have a nice Monday. Tuesday will probably be a wash for everyone as usual, but maybe my next page can salvage Wednesday. I feel like it’s gonna be going up against a lot, but I’m still going to try. Until then, shiiiiiika.

I see Deer People.

If it really interests you, the PSP also has a TV adapter cable. The kind with the 5 plugs. So you would also need an older TV from before they went completely HDMI.
I do like mine, it works well with the old midsize TV I have for it, but I could wish the cord was a bit longer.

There are adaptors to make it work in hdmi as well.

That only works on certain modules though. Mine is too old.

I cheat and use something like this where the age of the connected systems doesn`t matter much.

I like how the workers at this store, tolerate Thomas…[being-helpful?, or assisting them?, or pestering them?, or being playful?], with his I’m-the-Jedi-Master-of-working-in-a-retail-store behavior.

Maybe he’s like the [magic teacher + wizard guy?], in Eddie Murphy’s, Golden Child and Thomas’ co-workers probably realize that under his goofy + silly, Obi Wan Kenobi/wizard routine, he really DOES know what he’s talking about! :D

Keep on, keeping on, O cool + trendy wizard of the laid-back store! We salute you.
:D

(That should read: “Golden Child, Thomas’ “.
Sheesh. I just can’t do mornings.)

Having been, and been around, people who work like Thomas basically people like having someone who takes the edge off of a bad work day with shenanigins. As long as it isn’t completely means spirited a few harmless hijinks makes a long day seem a lot shorter.

Very cool!
:D

For what it’s worth-
I once worked at a video arcade, where there was only two workers covering the huge store, on any shift.
My sharing some shifts w/ a guy named Bill, who was: smarter than me, + also more relaxed than me, + more entertaining than me, + more friendly than most, really helped me with those days, + helped keep me from thumping the customers.

(Stop climbing on our Skee-ball machines, kids.)
;D

I wonder if Thomas, when imparting his wise ideas to Reggie, will do his fake-flirting, like he does with John.
Maybe that’s an activity that he only reserves for John.
:)

Fake?

Heh, heh, heh!
:D
I couldn’t say!
Like my friend, the marriage councilor, used to say:
“Unless you ask, You never know what’s in someone else’s heart!”
:D

He tailors his teachings to the student, he’ll use what he thinks will work. He doesn’t flirt with Jo, for example, he’s her teacher, that’s not something that should happen in that sort of relationship. He does the gay chicken(probably) thing with John because it’s amusing and works with him.

I feel like it wouldn’t work with Reggie. Reggie feels to me like someone in need of a foil, a rival, to test his edge on.

Oh. OK.
:D

Please be kind to yourself. You make me smile with your work.

Pricey, so might want a gofundme for it but https://purple.com/ have some Really nice mattresses. Might be worth a look.

That little rat man <3

I ended up buying a PSP from a friend for $50, the battery was dead, it was missing the charging cable and also missing the battery covers.

I managed to replace everything with parts from Amazon. Also picked up an SD to Memory Duo adapter so I’d have more space after I soft modded it.

Not sure if this is an April Fools thing or what, but the page is suuuuper wide now.

No. Someone posted a huge link and the system didn’t flag it the way it should have.

2810 Good. Good.
