Yay for NBC having Heroes and Studio 60 online, at least for a week.
Boo for the wonders of digital cable and modern technology.

My supervisor at work is offering me about $100 for my collection of 30 Star Wars figures--most of them lacking the guns and capes and other accessories. I'm tempted by this because pretty much their job for the past fifteen years has been to sit in a box and make sure a strong wind doesn't carry it away.

Having just gone through a page or three of completed auctions on eBay, I'd probably go for it, myself. You might be able to get more, depending on which characters you have, if you broke it up into separate lots (say, 10 each), but then you're dealing with shipping and fees and people (who're often horrible) and it's not even guaranteed you'll get much more, in the end.

If you don't want/need them, that's actually quite a good offer.

Just 2 cents from your local money-grubbin' seller-of-stuff. o.O

That's a strong influence, yeah, the idea that I can get rid of all of them in one fell swoop--the cool Ben Kenobi with his lightsabre and his stylin' fabric robes as well as that one droid that nobody really remembers where it's from with the slightly dog-chewed feet.

You can't believe the awesome feeling of being free from the tyranny of stuff. Especially when someone gives you cash for it.

Last week I unloaded my Barbie collection that has been following me around for a couple decades. And people PAID me for them. Awesome.

You seem to have way more digital cable problems than I do. Have you guys called to bitch about it?

Also, I will try to remember to send the songs we discussed the other day when I am at home on a computer that has them.

We are currently on "ROUND TWO! FIGHT!!" in the bitching. The first guy came by and said oh, it's not your system and we'll have to have somebody look at the outside network and then we think they either never did or didn't actually fix it so Saturnday they're coming back to... look at our network again, I guess. Or so that we can hang the guy from the ceiling and hit him with sticks until candy comes out.

I vote the latter.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

I *like* candy!

[jakejr.livejournal.com]

I just like hitting things with sticks.

This sounds too convenient to be simple coincidence.
