This is all rather sudden for you and AstroSmurf...
Is this my wedding present?Does it have a big kitchen? Can we paint the living room mocha brown?
(And if we were closer... or even in the same country... I really would be all over Ad. There would be wedding bells, trust me. He makes my heart skip!).
That is quite the compliment to wake up to!Thanks Smurfie, you made my day!
The house has a big enough kitchen, more than enough for the two of us.
Hmmm ... AdSmurf?
The recut of Stargate SG1: Children of the Gods. If it was just shortened, I probably would have skipped, but apparently it was rescored, there's new scenes, and Christopher Judge redid his voice performance. So, I guess we'll see if it was a worth-while purchase.
I went shopping for a nice overview of fashion through the ages, with some pretty pictures, and ending up getting: Costume and Fashion - A Concise History by James Laver. I also found some lovely books on Christian Dior and Coco Chanel (boucle suits are heavenly) but in the end, I wanted something broader this time.
It's from the World of Art series, and Blackwell's was doing a two for one offer on books from that series, so I also got Greek Art by John Boardman.
And after a bit more browsing, ended up getting E. H. Gombrich's The Story of Art. I flatter myself as being fairly rounded, but art history is definitely a very weak point of mine, and this seemed the perfect book to fill the gap. We shall see...

DVD: Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different
The Watchmen and Coraline DVD's. I also picked up the 8th season of Bewitched, one of my favorite shows. I now own the entire series!
(Coraline ROCKS! Loved it! But the DVD's 3D gave me a headache. )

Coralaine was a really well done 3D movie (haven't seen the dvd though).
Today: Groceries, an iPod alarm clock, new black-fancy-enough-to-wear-out gym capris and a tye-dye style stripey t-shirt to go with, a Tide-to-go stick (as I spilled coffee on myself this morning and realized the one I had was dried up
), and haircolour to 'wash those greys right outta mah head!"

The new polarized "Movie Theater 3D" is one thing but anything that requires "colored glasses" messes me up in a bad way. But 3D or not, it is an amazing movie!
... haircolour to 'wash those greys right outta mah head!"
I'm sure Mitzi would be proud of you.
I also bought Coraline on DVD too. I am extremely glad to finally see it without that awful 3D nonsense. I found it very uncomfortable and distracting with no real upside. But yeah the movie is great.
A house, apparently.
Still in the early stages, but there is an agreement about the price!!
congrats...

I got some of my student loan money back, and my Advisor told me to purchase a few school related things with it. One of them, she said, should be a laptop just in case your computer ever goes down or your internet connection fails. Since this is an online university, my connection is critical.
So, I took some and bought a brand new Acer Aspire One.
I think it's beautiful, and after removing the bloatware on it (McAfee security suite and a whole bunch of other useless things), she runs like greased lightning. For $278, this is what I got:
Intel Atom Processor (1.6 Ghz)
10.1" Display
160 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive
1 GB RAM
256MB Intel 950A Graphics Adapter
3 USB 2.0, 1 VGA, audio input and output jacks, and a Multimedia Card Adapter (for SD cards, MMC, and so on)
Ethernet Adapter
Wireless B/G/N Adapter
Built in Webcam and Microphone
And it comes with Windows XP Home SP3.
Here are a couple of pictures:
(You might not be able to tell from the pics, but it's Electric Blue)
I am absolutely thrilled with it.

I splurged a bit on Modcloth.com. So many dresses that I want!
I got this one because it's pretty casual, not my normal style at all, and I actually look good in red.
I bought this skirt because something about it was too sweet for me to pass up.
And as mentioned in the Ladies' Thread, I'm wearing this one to a wedding this weekend where I'll be doing a reading.
I have no idea when I started becoming such a girl and enjoying dresses so much! I used to be all about the t-shirt and jeans!

I picked up a cheap cotton summer fedora at target the other day.
