while i didn't get to see everything i wanted, i did see two movies in the annual lund fantastisk film festival, namely wasting away and bathory. both were quite excellent, though understandably in their own ways 
coming back a bit late after seeing the latter, i stopped by the grovsoprum, to discover two super finds!

the tv table was a bit chipped, but otherwise perfectly fine. the htpc seems
to be in perfect shape minus a blown power supply (which is probably why it
was thrown out), so i'll have to go dumpster diving again soon to see if i

i decided to retire the short-lived frankenstereo, mostly since it didn't fit easily into this table and wasn't too nice to look at anyway. i took the main unit back out to the grovsoprum, though we've kept the speakers just in case they come in useful later.

starting to look a bit respectable now...
