So I called my mom and asked her if by any chance she bought the stereo from a satanist, or a store kind of like the one in the Friday the 13th TV series, or from a guy named Vlad with pointy hair. She said no, it was all quite normal, but maybe it was on a straight lined path when I moved and a japanese spirit* infested it. Now, this is all well and good, but I'm not sure what one does about that.


* In landscape design, I was taught that the purpose of zigzag garden paths in japanese gardens was to prevent spirits from attacking mortals. Four years of schooling and this is the only thing she remembers me telling her about my studies.

Dilbert's boss is named Vlad?

Wait, you mean that TH message *wasn't* about your MP3 player?

researches Japanese mythology, would be my guess.

In her defense, it is the sort of thing that tends to stick in one's mind. :)

Good luck with the stereo. Though personally, I'd recommend an electrician before an exorcist. *g*

True, you may have a point there. Actually, what's funny is that when I went to the Japanese Garden portion of the Chicago Botanic Gardens, I told my cousin about it, then we found a sign explaining it. It was exciting to be right. Heh.

Well, I called Aiwa once about it. They said they'd never heard of these sorts of problems, but that maybe if I unplugged it for either 24 or 48 hours, the factory standards would reset. No such luck though. It behaved better after that, probably thought I'd chuck it if it didn't give me some love, but at the same time...

But it stayed turned off last night, so maybe all is well in its world again. :)
