Small world

Small disaster: Suffering a power blackout when you’ve downloaded 97.8 per cent of a 234MB file.

Small victory: Getting past that ball-breaking World 2-4 level in Super Mario Brothers 3 after numerous attempts. (And in the Funny How It All Worked Out dept: I wouldn’t have been playing if it wasn’t for the blackout.)

Small acknowledgement: Gullible and simple-minded might also describe someone who was suckered into buying a bootleg SMB3 cartridge.

Small rant: eBay’s inability to filter for US-based sellers who sell to overseas customers. You can filter for US sellers and you can filter for items which are available to Malaysian bidders but not for both. “Ships to: United States only” has dashed my hopes one too many times.
