SPIRITED AWAY!!

Found at the local thrift store for $1.50

As crazy as it sounds, I've never actually seen this movie with the English dub... and it's honestly not bad.

Bumper and Blinkers (kinda)

I'm stuck at home dogsitting for the next 5 days, so I decided to change out my boring black front bumper and put on my Spacy lower turn signal lens... and also paint up a fake one until I either find a right-side lens or cast new ones in resin.

Also found a right-side reflector in a box of spares.

FREEBIES!!!!

I was shopping for tapes at the Goodwill, and this super nice lady asked me if I actually watched movies on tape. I told her that I'm an enthusiast and genuinely love the format.

She told me she had a whole collection of movies at home and said I could have them... this is the first batch she brought me, and says theres two whole bins full of VHS in her garage that she'll dig out.

She's just happy that they're going to someone who actually enjoys them.

Thanks Moe, you made my day.

Today's Pickups

Went to the indie video game store that I don't work at because they also sell Laserdiscs and VHS.

These are what I grabbed, and I must say I'm pretty stoked on the Japanese copy of Cyclone Z (Dragons Forever) and 12 Monkeys, The Frighteners, and Starship Troopes absolutely made my day.

Looking For A Spacy 50 Part

Hey, I'm looking for a RH turn signal/indicator lens for a Honda Spacy 50. I'm sticking them on my CH80, and I already have one for the LH side.

Back To The Daily

My commute was sexy as hell.

Now that I don't have to carry a bunch of shit back and forth to work, I can go back to riding Percy every day.

I love this scooter.

PERSONAL GRAILS!

Finally found a copy of Strange Brew!

I now own this movie on every available format.

Also picked up Out on a Limb. A Matthew Broderick movie that was filmed in my hometown when I was in 1st grade, and the whole place was basically shut down for filming for 3-4 weeks, and my mom is an extra in the bar scene.

THRIFT STORE SCORE!!

Found this Sony MDP-550 at my local big thrift for $40.

No remote and the display doesn't work, but it plays great, and the auto-reverse works flawlessly.

I've been collecting VHS for almost two years, and this is the first time I've come across this one.

I'm 41, so I was 100% the target demographic for this movie when it came out.

I don't buy Atari games on ebay (it's not fun) so I've waited for years for these two to cross my path.

So stoked to finally have them

We've been getting a lot of Atari trades at my store recently.

Unfortunately, almost every single console has been defective, but being flush with plenty of good games has been nice.

Found this Japanese copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula, and it's dubbed... I've never come across a Japanese laserdisc of an American movie that wasn't in English with subtitles.
