I never forget back in the 1980's. I was just 11 years when saw a beautiful pic of a Compact Disc and the laser from a magazine's ad. I learned that it was the latest technology innovation at that time. I ripped it from the mag and placed on my room's wall, at the side of my bed.
Wondered how it sounds, how looks like and if I could have one in the future. That was my childhood dream. Made it possible until 1988, but got my first CD player at 1992.

I don't know where that cover comes from. However I like it, since it means to me: that's how I feel when finally get any record I look for decades, especially the Japanese and Chinese music from the 1980's.

I had an online friend who helped me to find some music and send to me.
Back in 2012 an 10" vinyl record was released under the price of $10USD or less. I asked her to buy it for me. Days later she told me she got the record and we planned to pay and then send it to me.
Suddenly she disappeared from all the Internet sites, I don't know why.
Now, that vinyl record can be found at the price from $75 to $120USD.
How I hate this so much...

Started reading three thick books at same time:

• Two on Philosophy
• One on Theology

All with diverse essays in almost 1100 pages.
I'm not bragging here, I just wonder if I'm doing wrong with that way.

Finally I found the Lovecraft's essay I mentioned in the previous post. Because of Mastodon's words limit in the post, I share my POA.ST post here:

I'm loving one H.P. . It's translated at the first time to Spanish, so the title in English may be "What Should I Read?"
That's another good guide to read some important books for the new .
Wish I could find that original essay to share to my friends !

Another sunday afternoon for a good reading time. Still with C.S. Lewis book "An Experiment in Criticism". (EPUB version in Spanish)
I'm not into Poetry but I should learn about this and give a try.

Finished reading one short novel from Stephan Zweig's book: "Buchmendel" (Mendel The Book Dealer).
I love the story and wish to be at that café and have a conversation with someone like Mendel.

10:45am, right now at the mall
Waiting at the food court for one of my books providers.
I see the TV and one soap opera is on.
I wonder: do really people watch TV at that time of the morning?

Now it makes sense:
Limited Maintenance and not suited for larger instances.

But, still love those sites, I hope they will be bigger in the future !!!

Have to say:

I like #Misskey / #Akkoma instances: CDRom Tokyo and MiniDisc Tokyo. All because of the "retro" interface and the names.

However, what frustrates me a lot is the speed issue: cannot load the timeline, it get stuck with no updated for many days or weeks. Takes too long time to post any thing, even just plain text.

I hope it will be solved in a near future because they will be my favorite sites.

I said.

P.D.

A big hello to the developers, I respect them so much !

@jnv Yes, true. I just hope that they will improve it. I will try to be patient...

Found a nice job online: Music Reviewer. I applied for that job, got approved. Had to watch a long introduction video, then said I have to pay some $100 bucks to do the training. Do I have to pay for a job I look for?
What a fucking joke!
