Mails

I got some things in the mail. My replacement lid for the Zoviet France box set arrived. The day before DHL was going to suspend all shipments to the U.S., he just went ahead and sent the few replacements for broken parts to the U.S. and I didn't even have to reach out to him about it first. So it came and it's not broken, that's cool and that was very nice! I also got the small straight brackets for my modular power supply! The size of the brackets themselves is perfect, I think...but the only problem is that they're just A HAIR too small for the machine screws that screw into the board. I think like the base of the screw is just the size of the holes and the threads push them over. Very frustrating. I may be able to use Josh's drill press at some point to widen the holes just a teensy bit. God this whole thing has been annoying. I'm perpetually SO CLOSE. Anyway, also in the mail a couple cds: Dead Voices on Air: Abrader Redux and Coil: Astral Disaster Sessions Un/Finished Musics Vol 2 (I wonder if I'll ever be able to get the first volume or the actual album...I seem to have missed the boat and just barely even gotten this one). Anyway, I meant to share this next thing in my last post but then I forgot. I did a review on fb for this root beer I got at TFM recently.

It's a little-known fact, but the reason this is called Devil's Foot is because that's what it tastes like. Even though it has the appearance of bougie, over-marketed, overpriced bullshit, I was willing to give it a shot because of its claim to be made with real honey (and should it be merely half as good as Sprecher, that'd still be something special). But in spite of that and its further claims of using cane sugar and brown sugar, it somehow manages to taste like diet root beer. I really tried to give it a chance since I'd already spent too much money on it, but 2.5 cans out of 4 are getting poured down the drain.
