Note to self: two hours worth of Invader Zim starting at 2 pm. Need to hunt down new videotapes.

I have an insane urge to go Xmas shopping (small presents this year, must remember to stick to a budget), but I think that even with the rain going near anything resembling a store is unwise. I think I'll try to do my shopping during the day during the week when it might be less hazardous to my and everyone else's health.

Second note to self: if employment paperwork promised last week doesn't show up on Monday or Tuesday, call again.

first few Zim episodes online here...

The video quality of these is lower than I'd like, but the data rate is about 18kb/sec -- about right for broadband. I'd like to find someone local with tapes and do a new capture sometime. A friend provided these to me compressed with the 256 color Animation codec, so the source quality was pretty low. :-/
