My buddy sent me this picture he took of a Walmart up north that was somehow selling this lone boxed copy of a Windows XP upgrade kit (complete with Service Pack 2!) An opportunity to run by said store happened a couple days ago and it’s still there.

For those who don’t understand the significance of this, Windows XP is a very old, very ancient version of Windows that saw widespread use in the early to mid 2000s before eventually getting succeeded by the controversial Windows Vista. Microsoft had discontinued all support for Windows XP about a year or two ago.

I want you folks to process this wonderful piece of business. There is a Walmart in the year 2018 that is attempting to sell a copy of WINDOWS FUCKING XP – and not even the full version; it’s just an upgrade! And on top of that, it’s well over ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!

This is all brilliantly preposterous. I am glad to have witnessed this oddity in space and time… and on Friday The 13th no less.

Got these in the mail a couple days ago along with a copy of Darkstalkers 3 for PSX… but that’s not in the picture because it has no place in this context. (It’ll be in the monthly Pick-Ups video at the end of the month.)

A nice summer evening shot for the masses.

How is it the knock-off Battleship game on the right looks more like a Battleship game than the official Battleship game on the left? Does Battleship look like that because the movie sucked or something?

First trip to the hospital for check ups on my leg… and the wait is painful. But perhaps not as painful as trying to type a small paragraph on a tiny tactile keyboard on your extremely fragile slab of a phone. Jesus Christ, how in the blue hell do you people put up with this crap? I’ll take one of those Blackberry things over this thing because at least that has some semblance of a proper keyboard.

Anyway, this is my morning after a long 3 day weekend and I am exhausted.

Because sure, why not?

Just a random evening shot of a setting sun. Nothing special.
