You young'uns are so silly! The old-fashioned way to pay for a bus ride is to drop the appropriate coins in the money box or hand them to the driver.
I had so many issues with my debit card and Barnes and Noble... finally able to get a digital copy of "Protectors", the newest Voyager novel. Even though I pre-ordered it in like... Janurary... freakin' Nook went nuts. Finally got it though. Going to read it this weekend!
More goodies for my upcoming trip: anti-theft bag for my passport, phone, etc. RFID shields for my passport and credit card a pair of shoes and a pair of slacks that I needed anyway
I bought an MP3 album with my birthday money. I wasn't sure what to buy, so I listened to some random clips until I hit on a song that just really caught my ear, and bought the whole album. If the clip I heard is any indication (Beautiful Love), I expect that I will be very pleased with the whole album.
Bought from Amazon.com 3 blu-rays: The Expendables 2 Dredd The Last Stand 1 novel: Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: Tower of Babel
