Your latest purchases

I went to an Indian buffet with a group of friends.

Our waiter gave us about $40 extra in change, and I wanted to blow it all on hookers.

But nobody wanted to do that. :(
 
I bought a pound of decaf Sumatra. I rarely go decaf, but I've been on a coffee kick lately, and as I poured my ninth mug of coffee yesterday evening, feeling vaguely lightheaded and unreasonably enthusiastic, I thought maybe decaf might be a good idea -- you know, just for the last 6-8 cups of the day. :)
 
This week I've bought more than a couple things, actually.

I bought a new tennis racket. I busted my old (first) one two years ago but kept playing with it anyway. Every time my friends would tell me I need to get a new one, I'd just beat them mercilessly (at the game, not with the racket - though I am often tempted) and make them feel worse for having been beaten by a guy with a broken racket. But unfortunately the racket has gotten worse recently, so I had to give in and find a new racket. It's used, just like my first one, but I don't like it as much, unfortunately. We'll see if it grows on me.

I bought a new fish for my aquarium, a beautiful Tomato Clownfish. He seems happy at the moment. He and the pufferfish have already had their "new fish fight" so I'm hopeful that things will be peaceful from here on out. The only other fish that could really pick a fight with him is the eel, who is blind and doesn't really care about other fish.

I bought a couple birthday presents for the girl I like. Frankly I'm running out of good gift ideas. Anything in Japanese she can pretty much get herself, and buying anything in English for her has more of a feel of homework than a present somehow. She collects stuffed animals and though I've sent her two before, I found a particularly neat stuffed toy ghost that I think she'll dig, as well as a soft heart-shaped pillow which makes me feel just a little odd to have bought.

Finally, while I was out at the fish store today, I stopped at a grocery store on the way home and bought sushi and a cinnamon roll.

Oh the horror! :eek:

Today after work I got a mani/pedi then dinner - sirloin salad and red wine. :)

You know, it wasn't half bad! I was very anxious about trying such a thing, but after fully-caffienating myself with two cups of an extra bold, the subsequent 5 cups of decaf were really quite nice.

That sounds delish! I did buy the fixin's for a really lovely dinner: I made a perfect tuna steak -- so moist and tender it fell apart at the slightest touch, perfectly cooked with just a hint of kosher salt, black pepper, fresh dill, and a spritz of fresh squeezed lime. Oh, it was heavenly. I made some tender steamed asparagus to go with it.

You are a true master chef, tsq. Me, I consider grilled cheese sandwiches the height of my own personal culinary ability. :lol:

And my last purchases: Two bowls of chili from this place.
 
My wife is going away for two nights. I bought more beer.

Party at Mallory's place.;)

Switch to tea, better for you all around.:techman:

A man with his priorities right. :lol:

Probably a wise choice. I understand $40 won't get you much in the way of hookers. Ask Hugh Grant. :eek:

Don't worry, she's not fussy. :p

:guffaw:

I, uh, drink more tea than I do coffee. I like it strong too, so usually brew two tea bags per cup. About my sixth mug of Irish Breakfast tea one night (that's 12 bags), I decided I'd better go decaf on that as well. :)

Tea...

Now that I have my new tea pot, which lets me brew it up a liter at a time, I'm running on three or four liters of tea a day. Lose leaf earl grey tea.

After the first day the jitters became less of a problem. But it sure does help with the focus. ;)

The jitters are what make it so enjoyable! I love brewing loose leaf, though I don't do it as often. My whole family are big tea drinkers. I have a drawer full of dozens of different varieties. My mom is friends with the woman who runs Teany, a little tea shop here in NYC, started by Moby and his xgf (my mom's friend). She sends my mom all the new teas she's thinking of trying out in her shop, so I get a lot of tea from her -- which is funny, because it means the tea is shipped to my mom's friend in NYC, then to my mom in Seattle, who sends it back to me in NYC. :)
