01. Blaster Master NES game
Found this like-new copy of Blaster Master for five dollars at the Jefferson Highway Flea Market today. There's no shrink-wrap on it, but the cartridge is still sealed in its little bag, and all of the instructions and miscellaneous inserts are there. As I'm sure you all know, this increases the game's value, and I'll be able to sell it on eBay for hundreds and hundreds of shiny gold bricks and sparkling jewels. Eh, who am I kidding? Stuff like this is my treasure, and I'm keeping it.
Supersecret Trick!! During a boss battle (but only on levels 2, 4, 6 and 7,) throw as many grenades at the boss as you can right off the bat, and he'll start flashing. While he's flashing, pause the game for 25 seconds. When you unpause, he'll explode and die a horrible death at your cheating hands.
02. Rod McKuen, Mary Buffett LPs
After the flea market visit and a trip to Bud's Broiler for a burger and some Ms. Pac-Man, I stopped by Bridgehouse on Jefferson Highway to look over the records I skipped the other day. All I can really tell you about these albums is:
A. I read somewhere on the web that Rod McKuen is a poet/singer who tends to sing sad, heavily-orchestrated songs about love gone bad, unrequited love, love that never should have been, love that will never be, love love love sad sad sad, etc... and it intrigued me enough to shell out a dollar for an album of his.
B. I just liked the art on this album cover. Plus, not only is her boyfriend back, but he's secure enough in his manhood to wear a pink shirt with a black leather jacket.
