02/03/2004: "Mysteries of the universe"

Music: My brain buzzing from too much coffee
Mood: Magenta

Poor David Parker. As if our vampire doesn’t have enough heartache in his life, he has trouble opening CDs just like … just like me, and maybe just like you.

My friend Thomas has solved the riddle of opening CDs:

“Usually CDs are sealed only along the top edge of the case. If this is the case, here's what you do: Once you've removed the outer cellophane, hold the case vertically with the inner cover facing you. Gently disconnect the hinge at the bottom left. At this point, you'll be able to flip the frontal piece off the case, up and away from the disc. The strip is easy to remove after that.”

I tried it and – hey, it works! Another secret of the cosmos revealed.
