Purchases of the Week - June 7, 2019

It's been ages since I did this! As the years have gone by and technology and delivery services have almost become instantaneous, shopping online has never been easier.

Jelly Comb Wireless 2.4GHz Left Hand Ergonomic Vertical Mouse with USB Receiver: 

I've always compromised and bought ergonomic mouses so that people can use my PC. But no more, it's MY PC. A couple of years ago my only choice was an ergonomic mouse. Not very ergonomic just evenly shaped I suppose for both lefty and righty. Left handed mice were rare. But I found a fairly inexpensive one. I am loving it so far and I  am wondering why I waited so long to purchase one. It's perfect for my small hands. I just have to break the muscle memory of holding the ergo mouse. I was a little concerned with the vertical alignment but it's actually comfortable to the point that the wrist rest I have is just getting in the way.

Butterfly Clutch Badge Insignia Clutches Pin Backs Replacement (Nickel, 200 Pieces): 

That's right, 200. I bought 400 previously and I am already half-way through the last packet of 200. That's how many pins I have to put in my pin books. Some are double posts which explains why I go through these so quickly. 

DWCN White Faux Linen Sheer Curtains - Textured Semi Voile Bedroom and Living Room Curtains, Set of 2 Rod Pocket Curtain Panels, 52 x 63 Inch Length: 

Trying a shorter curtain for the living room and dining room area. This is thicker than a sheer panel which the cats go through like it's paper. Hopefully, this will last longer. Another consideration was that Nodame has a particular favorite spot to pee in the living room and the current curtains have had to be washed due to it being soaked. These higher ones should prevent that. Although I should have measured the curtain rod length to make sure these will work. Haha!

That's it for now. I am monitoring my purchases. It's been an expensive week with expected expenses and unexpected ones as well. 

Moon's Haunted

I am feeling as excited as when Forsaken was announced. A lot of changes are happening with Destiny. My impression of the vidoc indicates that a lot of the things Bungie wanted to do were not "allowed" until they were free of Activision and have gained their independence. 

Some thoughts on the new content. I don't like the moniker Monster Killing Machine. That's a Guardian's job description, not their name. I prefer Guardian so Bungie please don't push that as a new name to call our beloved Guardians.

Customization. I've been wanting this. I want to customize my armor with the mods that I want. Now if only Bungie can implement a preset system for load outs. This is my PVP load out my PVE load out that would be convenient. Also I wish our current shader inventory can be in the Collections and only when we run out of that particular shader do we start using resources to generate them again. I am storing mine in my vault which I don't like to do. 

First Light. I had heard the first mission is the only thing re-mastered. I want to see and experience it but do I have to delete a character? I have all three classes on my account. That's a big nope. They should have done this sooner to bulk up the player base and get players interested in playing the game. But then again it may have been "other" forces that prevented this from occurring sooner thus the delay from implementing this. 

Lore! I like Eris. The weird goth girl with bleeding eyes at the Tower always intrigued me. Hopefully, her character and story line will be explored extensively. 

Although there are other character story lines I wish they would touch. Like The Stranger. Where did Variks go? I was hoping they would make a hub for lore hunters to go and hunt lore. I was thinking Venus. I don't know this is all wishful thinking. 

Nate and I have another wonderful Fall to look forward to. Thanks Bungie!

Much Needed Site Overhaul

Well... I was planning on doing this in 2015. LOL

Life got in the way. I am on vacation this week so I decided to re-ignite our personal site with a new look. I am still tweaking things and re-arranging and contemplating as I watch one of my favorite streamers prepping for the hunt for the World's First title in the Season of Povert..uhh I meant Opulence in Destiny 2.

Honestly, what prevented me from doing this sooner is just remembering the html and my obsession with a neat and functional design. So I bought a theme on Etsy to make things easier LOL! Theme designer is on the footer of the blog. Gotta fix links, remove dead ones, arrange aesthetics so the site is going to be very much fluid till I settle on something I like.

I love reading my previous thoughts from years ago so I plan on blogging more often and I hope I can maintain this better. Four years is too long of a silence!
