Your Day

Thanks ISB! Yeah it seems it may actually have been the charger - guy came out this morning and checked both battery and charger, but seemed to think the problem lay in the latter - so we can't use it now till they get us a replacement. Luckily I have the other battery fully charged, so that should last us two weeks, by which time we'll hopefully have the new charger/battery.

Scary stuff, though. Guess someone was looking after us (probably my ma).

Close call TH good thing you found out about it sooner than later.

Definitely. I reckon otherwise the first thing I would have known about it was when it exploded and I found myself surrounded by red guys with pointy horns and pitchforks and wishing I had dressed more lightly.

Andrew Lincoln (Rick from Walking Dead) has been shopping in my store a lot recently. They're filming some Walking Dead spinoff show around north Jersey and he's apparently a jazz collector. Anyway, he's been coming in on his off days and we've had a lot of chats about music. He's been buying some of my recommendations and asking me questions about certain artists he doesn't know.

I find it all kind of surreal. Not that a famous person likes the same things I like, but rather how effortlessly easy it is to talk to him. Just a normal guy that kills humans and zombies on screen for a living.

Wow crazy I would fangirl way too much and he'd end up hating our interactions. Good on you for treating him like a regular joe.

There's a quote from Mozart's journal that perfectly describes my day

"Today I experienced nothing. Also nice."

I'm currently on a 10-days vacation from work

^ That's a good quote, Danza ! I bet Trollheart wishes his day had been like that!

That's a horrible experience, TH: when what you assume is the safety of your own home is called into question. Lucky you were able to track down the source of the problem. Well done.

Not quite. This is more my style.

No but it was a close thing. Had I gone to bed and left it plugged it it probably would have exploded or gone on fire. I'm trying not to think about it. Luckily all was well.
