Congratulations, no finer purchase than a new TV.
 
This is bittersweet. After securing my preorder for the Hot Toys 1/6th scale Back to the Future Part II DeLorean time machine last year, I finally received it this month. It looks really good, and they even fixed the issue with the prototype where the wheels sat way too low when in hover mode. And I avoided the dreaded broken wheel hinge problem that has apparently plagued every YouTuber that has got this model. But when I tried to hook it up to AC power, nothing worked (it's running off alkaline batteries in my photos).

When I contacted Sideshow Toys about the issue, they said that they've exhausted their entire first run of these DeLoreans, and could only offer me a gift card as consolation, or give me a refund.

Luckily, there's a second run of these coming in summer, so I went ahead and ordered another one. I'll be dropping off the defective unit at UPS tomorrow and saying goodbye for a few more months.😭

Staying with the bedroom subject matter, I'm trying to get some really nice bedding and found myself researching pillows, Egyptian cotton and bamboo sheets etc. I received a Hungarian Goose down pillow yesterday from Diamond Bedding which I tried out last night, and it is lovely. Today I received a bamboo pillow case I'd ordered from Panda London, will be trying that tonight...

Retro Miami Hurricanes sweatshirt. This was the first college team I ever watched and liked as a kid when I saw them in 1987.

This is the 1st day I logged into this site since March Madness started. I'm an SDSU alum and long time season ticket holder for basketball and football. It was a magical season for our teams this year. Congrats on our teams making the Final Four. Unfortunately... UConn was too strong for both our teams.

UConn came out of nowhere and took over. They killed every team they played. lol.
