I bought my Dad some DVDs of stand up comedians. He's really ill and very weak, so I thought he could use a good laugh. I picked up some Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black and Gabriel Iglesias. I hope he likes it.
 
The 16th, you? Doing anything fun?

My mom's is the 12th so we usually do a family celebration but everyone's scattering for vacations this weekend. I'm going to have a nice quiet birthday at a cottage on the lake with Dan.

I'm going into the city with JonathanWally!
 
Just for fun, I got me a new t-shirt directly from the Bioware online store. I'm sure the other Xbox enthusiasts on the board can recognise what it's all about. :D

The motto says: "In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice."

That's not me modeling it, by the way. :shifty:

Cool, though I played the PC version:)

For myself, I bought a few books.

Two were by Terry Pratchett, One by David Weber, one by Nelson DeMille, one by Cliver Cussler and one by Jeffrey Deaver:)
 
I recently have gotten caught up with several editions of Ultimate X-Men. Over the last month, bought volumes 1-5 at Barnes & Noble, then decided to buy volumes 5, 7, & 8 at Amazon.com for less money. Interesting how some of the plotlines mirror the movies. The art from the Kubert brothers (for the most part) has been gorgeous. Some of the dialogue is stilted, and really like the new, quirkier version of Storm.

I also bought a new summer fedora. Here's a pic of me wearing it at a friend's picnic, as well as wearing a guayabera.

I spent about $100 on brushes, oil paints, canvasses, a palette, gum spirits... I never painted a picture before in my life, but suddenly needed to do so. Let's hope I'm good enough to justify the expenditure!
 
I went to the $1.25 Store this morning and got a gift bag for the bris gift I crocheted (yarmulke, bib and booties set).

They sell 3-packs of comics from the 80s and 90s, so I picked up two packs for kicks. Got three others last week. I'm ending up with a really, really weird collection. My favorite part is reading the old ads, getting nostalgic. :)
 

Really digging the hat, RR!

I bought a large Moroccan Tea Lantern.
I have two images, one in light and one with the lights off.



Lights on:

I took this one on high ISO so you could see what it looks like when all the lights are out! :D

I love the whole look of it, and it's real. Real metal, real amber glass. I got it for a great price, too! $4.00 (USD)!
 
Niorah - did you get hit with any import taxes or anything like that when you bought that ?
Not at all, I don't think the taxes apply to clothes. I did get hit by them when I got my latest cell phone from... oh... was it Singapore? Hong Kong? I don't remember.
I had already ordered another item from the Bioware store and I didn't run into any taxes then either.
The shipping costs half of what the item costs, granted, but other than that: not a blessed thing. :techman:
 
^VAT applies to adult clothing in the UK, so I'm guessing that you've actually paid the VAT hidden the shipping costs.

There are a few DVD/Blu-Ray importers who do that too.
