I can also opt for a bigger entertainment center, too, if I have to. I also have two extra spaces on my 8-port switcher, which I plan to use for the NES and SNES, if they still work. I still have that 4 port switcher box, too, that I can use when I buy more RCA cabled consoles. The Sega Saturn is the last RCA cabled only system that I don't own yet, so I'll also be looking for one next time I go to Vintage Stock. Both my brothers had one at one time, but one is broken, most likely, and the other is lost in my younger bro's old trash-heap of a room. Why get one if you're not gonna even bother playing it anymore? I still play all my old working systems.

If I get cables for the NES and SNES, and they work, I'll be playing the heck out of those, too, even though Star Fox is the only game I own for the SNES at the moment! I still have a bit of NES games, at least. I have roms, and I have the mini consoles, yes, but remember what I said about consoles. I won't repeat it. There was a mini fridge in one of the sheds in my backyard, and dad said I could have it if I cleaned out a spot for it in the game room. Well, even if he was joking, I wasn't when I said I wanted it about 5 times, so a spot is cleaned out, and I moved it into the room by myself after cleaning the fridge up. Yes it was heavy, so I 'walked' it in there. I don't eat in that room, so it's mostly going to be used for drinks; beer, and to keep my bottled stuff cold. I'll wait a few hours when it cools before adding stuff to it. It'll also give me a bit of room in my main fridge, too, by moving some, not all, of my drinks in this one. Except now I can't open that door to my closet. Oh well, I still have one free door, and I rarely need in there anyway.

Well, the fridge is a bit bigger than I thought. Like I said, it's a trial run anyway, though I'd hate to have to move it again. If I ever were to get another fridge, it's gonna be a smaller one for sure. Like I said, I don't need much in there but to keep drinks cold anyway.

Not cold enough for 6 hours. Maybe give it the rest of the night and hopefully, it'll be good.

I'm sure it will be good.

Hopefully it also won't freeze my stuff, but I doubt it since it turns on and off every few minutes. I also turned down the temperature a bit, so that might help, too.

Turns out I had the temperature at a wrong level. The high number is the coldest, I looked it up, so I just set it to that. Now there shouldn't be any excuse for my stuff not to get cold within a few hours. I'll turn it back down after a while, though, so I don't freeze my stuff out.

The fridge and freezer in my kitchen has the high number as the coldest, it even says so. That smaller fridge just has the numbers, no indication which number is the coldest, as if I'm suppose to know by heart by now...so yeah, I'll remember that.
My meeting with my job consular has been rescheduled for next week because we got the time set wrong on when to go. OK, good, I didn't feel like going anywhere today anyway.

My fridge works. It just cools down slower than my large fridge, so I have to keep it closed. I don't need in there much anyway, just when I feel like having a beer. lol! Cleaned out a bit of my pantry earlier, just because. There were stuff in there that expired quite some time ago, so they got thrown away.

I gotta get money saved up first. I just got another one of those scam e-mails saying they hacked my webcam and threatened to send my 'porn video' to everyone if I don't pay in Bitcoin within 24 hours. Ha ha ha... I don't do porno, nor do I have a webcam installed for this PC. I mean, I have one, but without a CD drive, I have no way to install it. Anyway, I looked it up, and it's just a more threatening version of those 'Nigerian Prince' scams. Seriously, I wonder how many people fall for this sh!t.

Yeah, I'm sure there's lot of people who do this. I'm not one of them. After the 1st email I got, I admit it was a bit worrisome, until I got a 2nd e-mail from a different e-mail address, but with the same bullsh!t. Even if it was real, there'd be no proof I actually did anything, not that I want to, because the webcam on my laptop had been blocked out since I got it, again, in case of hacking attempts. Besides, I get spam mail every day, so sh!t like that isn't gonna fool me. And like I said, it may have been sent to my e-mail, but it was addressed to a non-existent person of a non-existent residence.

They try to get me by phone. I just say, 'I'm thinking about it' to fool them thinking they got me already.

That's a good idea, but most of the calls I get are robocalls. I got a couple spam texts before, too, and I'm still getting robocalls about car insurance and such. Phht, just the other day, I got a call from a guy who spoke another language. I didn't know what language, but I hung up right away.

Oh, and while we're on the subject, I just got a text message saying 'we noticed suspicious activity on your card. Please call *phone number*'
I'd post proof, but it's hard to take a pic of a phone screen with the camera phone, even with mirrors.

This time, the garbage and recycling trucks woke me up, but oh well. Dogs needed out anyway. Oh, and Junebugs are out now... I saw a couple huge ones on my porch last night. X( Anyone who dares to say 'how dare Nintendo protect their IP's' can go f*ck off a bridge! Now they've moved to Youtube and began their sudden copyright barrage! I've lost a lot of playlists and favorites on there because of it, and one channel, BrawlBRSTM's, took down all their Nintendo related music in fear of copyright strikes. That means a lot of music previews in Brawl Vault must be broken now! Oh, and I got another one of THOSE e-mails this morning. 'I'm aware ******** is one of your passwords, and blah blah blah, porn video, blah blah blah, send bitcoins, blah blah blah'. The whole song and dance...even though the moron did manage to get my password right, I remember using it before, but from what site, who the hell knows. I read it was from a world wide data breach many years ago, but it also said not to worry about it because nothing's gonna happen.
