Fats Domino on the radio.

• "Use the Plot, Luke!"

• "As you know, the Hugo Awards are named for the father of modern science fiction — that tireless self-promoter, prolific journalist, pioneering inventor of television and the steam-driven automatic pencil, and editor of the world's first real f-s magazine: Victor Hugo."

Up at the crack of arse this morning (and yesterday morning, but they're not open Sundays) to procure LCD monitors for people. I got there at 8:45am and they opened at 10:15am, but I got to listen to two and a bit albums' worth of Australian '80s indie rock on my MP3 CAMERA. Black suits, pointy boots and bass guitars. I still want to be Chris Walsh when I grow up. Whatever happened to him, anyway?

They had three left, so I bought 'em. I had neglected a prior claim from Tony Sidaway, who tipped me off to them in the first place, so one goes to him. The other two in the queue are cookwitch and flavius_m. The guy said he'll be trying to get more in, and I asked him to notify me promptly if he did, so vampwillow and ewtikins might be in luck later.

In the meantime, I still have this 21" Sun CRT free to the first person to take it away. I'm tempted to join Freecycle just to offload it ...

Friday's B-Movie pics are now up. They all came out a bit bluish; I'm tempted to fiddle the colour balance. Or put a slightly yellow-tinted transparency over the flash!

I'm sure I had a million important things to do today, but I think I need more coffee first.
