An enormous bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper, to get me through the rest of the day.

I swear, I should just get an IV bottle of the stuff so I can mainline soda.

I've been on a bit of a spy kick lately, so I picked up dvd sets of two Seventies British series, The Persuaders and The Protectors on eBay. I also bought a dvd of a Sixties Roger Moore spy comedy called Crossplot. However, the most important dvd purchase for me was Gene Roddenberry's The Questor Tapes, which has finally been released on dvd. It was actually released back in October, but I just recently found out about it (and I don't recall it being mentioned on this Board at all). Now all I have to do is find the time to watch them.

A large Timmies. Black.

cooleddie74 · February 11 2013, 06:23 PM

A couple of bags of snacks for the next few days.

auntiehill · February 11 2013, 10:03 PM

A movie ticket, a drink and some chips and salsa.

I found a cute bag for my new ukulele for a great price, and ordered it off amazon before noticing that it takes "1-4 months" to ship. WTF?

auntiehill · February 12 2013, 02:19 AM

^Are they custom-made-to-order, or something?

thestrangequark · February 12 2013, 02:30 AM

^Not that I could tell...just a $20 uke bag, I just liked the print:

Nice! I hope the uke practice is going well.

thestrangequark · February 12 2013, 04:10 AM

^It's coming along, thanks.

My roommate said I already sound better, but I'm in a kind of daunting place where I can pick up pretty much any stringed instrument and have the basics down immediately, but then I remember there's a shitload of technique to learn anad that actually takes work. I got all the basic chords memorized, and can even do some bar chords (something my small hands make very difficult on guitar). Fingering is easy for me too, because of my cello and violin training. But I have basically no strumming or plucking technique, as one pretty much never strums a cello...

-A case of Coke.
-Cat food.
-A leather bound print of Brahm Stoker's Dracula.
