Some thoughts and and plans for the upcoming weekend...

Taking at least one day off before I go out and pick up a parcel and my final Argos purchase was a good idea, not least because by the time I'd be fully "with it", the places I'd need to go to would be closed for a couple of hours or so! That said, given my parcel is an old, (storage) driveless laptop, it might be a consideration to order an IDE adaptor for an m.2 SSD as it's relatively cheap, plus it lets me see how viable the project really is... I need to film it as well though, so it's definitely something I need to prepare for August, if not September! All that said though, I'll have the last 3DS game I need to pick up picked up that day (tomorrow or Saturday) too, so I can also take some photos of all the games I picked up.

I ended up letting one "drop", because I wasn't able to go out in time (purchases via Argos eBay account don't let you extend afaik), so I have one game less than I planned to. Likewise, it would also be a good opportunity to do some thrifting, if I do the inverse of the near-circular route I was planning (clockwise as opposed to anti-clockwise), as it means that I can also swing round and pick up my 3DS XL to check out the 3DS games, though unfortunately, one will be unplayable till I finally pick up a 'New' 3DS, which I've hesitated with for a while, as I've been waiting for a decent price for a boxed one! The irony of it is is that I bet if I knew about the Argos sale (which Amazon has matched) sooner, I possibly could have picked up a cheap New 3DS XL as well, seeing as by the time I found out about it, they were only selling games! In any case, that's one more project I can start planning for in the near future, although that said, it'll probably be a photo project, with some reviews later on.

Whilst I'm at my storage unit, I might also want to pick up my portable record player too, as I have some records that I purchased recently that I want to play, and at present, I have no space to set up my "proper" player in my flat at present, although I probably also want to bring all y records in a carry case as well; it might actually be a good idea to work out if I can bring one of my carry cases for my records, so they have a safe place to be stored, and thus I can keep them in my flat, rather than storage, as they're kept safe and are no longer taking up extra space! That said of course, I have 2 carry cases, one being for the records I consider "normal", and the other for records that are special to me in some way; video game soundtracks (as I'd only have them for certain games) and my fave artists will fit the latter definition. On that note, I'm eagerly awaiting the Quake OST on vinyl, but it's taking ages to come out, and as of a tweet today, I still can't order it!

Either way, I want to get the above things sorted by Monday. As for streaming, since I have an energy drink, I might be able to better push myself to a stream Sunday night, as it will (hopefully) give me the boost I need!
