Your latest purchases, cont.

I wanted Robert L. Forward's Dragon's Egg but my book-dealer couldn't find it for me in their network (I even had them call their head-office) :klingon: This has happened quite a few times to me recently: The inability of my dealer is coupled with my finding of the very same book for sale on-line when I get home... :sigh: I really need some plastic to pay with...

Anyway, I rarely leave the (a!) book store empty handed and found "A Game of Groans" by George R. R. Washington ( :rofl: ).
Here's something from the back of the cover:

There was a bloodied knife on Allbran's bed. Lady Gateway Barker knew what she had to do; what all the royals in Summerseve did when somebody tried to kill a member of their family: gather up a bunch of people and horses, and go from one place to another.

I just happened to also pick up a tea-brewing machine from a discount store on my way home. And some groceries.
 
Some groceries, gas for the car and takeout food. Also, a couple of STAR WARS action figures and some pet supplies.

Olympic deck stain

I have ab-so-lutely NO idea what that might even be!

You bought a deck stain that wasn't professional? -that was Olympic-sized? or maybe you bought some stain for your Olympic deck? - or perhaps it's all about an Olympic stain and the middle word is just you cursing?

If I were really interested I could just drag your words into Google and let it all be over with; but sometimes it's the not knowing that makes the whole thing fun :)



BTW: is it a big deck?
 
The American Cinematheque is doing a month long screening series of all the James Bond movies. I just got tickets to the Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace screening on June 24th because Martin Campbell, who directed Casino Royale (and GoldenEye) will be there. Not bad for $13.00!
 
Photos of me with Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, and Dina Meyer (Commander Donatra from Nemesis)
Dina Meyer autograph
Phoenix Comicon tickets
Frames for all of the above.
 
An iPod-compatible car stereo. This thing is wicked cool. You actually put the iPod inside the stereo itself! (Doesn't even play CDs, which is fine since I don't have any. :p )

I spent $1300.00 to fix my car this week. Yay for paying off your visa just in time to negate said payment! :lol:

Woah; big bill. What happened? :(

Looking back, I've been pretty frugal for the past month or so. I bought a pair of glasses and got new lenses in my old pair, and also collected some clothes after getting some alterations done. Apart from that, and the usual expenses of life, I can't think of anything major.

I did manage to snag a potentally very nice porfolio/document case at a great price off eBay thanks to a tip-off from a friend (the seller didn't realise what they had) but it hasn't arrived yet so I'm not counting my chickens on that one just yet.
 
A straw trilby hat, a Father's Day present; two CD cases capable of carrying 300 DVDs each (I'm trying to get a handle on my collection); a hand-painted postcard depicting my hometown's main street in the 1910s; The Essential Glenn Miller collection; and two books, Seneca's Dialogues and Essays and Gary Taubes' Why We Get Fat.
 
My mom was visiting the past few days and kept trying to buy me stuff, and I kept resisting. She gave me some money before she left and when I tried to decline, she said I could always spend it on some summer dresses. I promptly went out and bought a LOTR Lego set instead. :p
