It feels like Christmas!

This is a list of 62 books and magazines that I bought for fifty cents apiece, today. A few of the pulp mags have wear and tear issues, but the books (the first 12 entries) are all G to VG++. Sorry that this is such a dry, music-less, post, but fear not! You're going to be seeing a lot of cool Sci-Fi covers - and related musical tastiness - in the near, near future!

The $$$s in parentheses are the low / high prices asked for over at Amazon.

And... tomorrow, at that same estate sale, everything that is left is going for 1/2 price! I think I might go drop $20!!! Seriously, this guy was a proto Sci-Fi anorak, and I'm thankfully, gratefully picking through his treasures. Like this one:

---EDIT---
If you saw that J. G. Ballard up on that list and thought to yourself Damn! I really could go for a few tastey words from THAT guy! you're in luck. Nathan Nuthin' is serving up a nice selection from Hello America over at his fine fine web log.
---EDIT---
Stay tuned!

Time traveled today...

...All the way back to May 1966. Then I bought a copy of Worlds Of Tomorrow for cover price: Fifty cents! Then I zipped back here to snap this pic:


That's right, I've got my very own copy of a "GOOD" condition original Philip K. Dick novelette!

I haven't read it yet. First I'm heading back to that sale and picking up all the rest of the science fiction pulp books. I'll fill you in later.

Estate sales rule.

~ See you in the future...

It's time for...

...Big ups' to my home state, the ever so beautiful Minnesota. Ah yes, Minnesota where the first snowfall of the season doesn't happen until there's a nice sheen of glare ice on the road. Uhn-huh!

I kid. I really do love it here. Atmospheric conditions are usually interesting, and Atmosphere rapping is usually spot on:

Atmosphere: Shhh - hidden track from Seven's Travels.
Since it's an hidden track, I made up my own name for it. Enjoy!

It's science time!

"This is a cross-section of a brain showing the amygdala and caudate nucleus—the structures believed to be linked to negative emotions like fear and anger. The amygdala is believed to be fully developed by the time a baby is born. The prefrontal cortex (the front of the brain) where thinking and planning take place, takes longer to mature. This may explain why it takes time for children to learn how to control their fears." - Image and text from this place

...And this is Trazodone:It puts me to sleep.

By way of explaination...

First off, I know Box.net has been kind of a prick to some of you lately, and I really worked it over in my mind before deciding to use them again. The reason is: It's free. That's it.

Secondly, just to set the record straight, I did not receive a take down notice or have this blog taken down by Blogger. The fact of the maatter is, I had a dizzying week of mini-meltdowns, and deleting my blog was just one of the reckless, stupid things I did... I'm not in the mood to talk about any of the other things right now. Suffice to say they were crazy enough to land me in the Psych Ward for nine days, though, so reconstructing my blog is pretty low on my list of things to do right now!

I don't know how often I'll be posting here, to tell truths, but seeing as how Winter is coming on (we had our first snowfall of the season today. It melted pretty quick.) I assume I'll get back in the swing before too long.

Oops.

Thanks for stopping by, but...
This blog got deleted and I'm waiting for Blogger to help me recover it. It might take a couple weeks, so sit tight.
