Your latest purchases

I needed a new backpack, so after checking out a number of different brands and models, I ended up with an Eastpak Evanz.
I am very happy with its various organised compartments and padded large laptop sleeve, and on the plus side it's not boxy like some other backpacks but rather slim and streamlined.

I bought the best baby toy ever for my nephew -- I think I'm getting more entertainment out of it than he will. I can't explain, one must see what it does:

I don't even have to watch the video to know what it does. We were having family portraits made 3 or 4 years ago and the photographer had one. Our 2 year old loved it and he has the biggest smiles in the pictures.

I bought a replacement timer/motor for our dishwasher as the old one had burned out. The dishwasher now runs like new again.
 
1000 Micro$oft Points on XBL in anticipation of the upcoming Mass Effect 2 DLC, Lair of the Shadow Broker :cool:
 
New eyeglasses ... WHICH I HATE WITH A PASSION!!!

Progressive lenses aren't for everyone. Some people adjust fine to them, others hate them and switch back to either two different frames (one regular, one reading) or use traditional bifocals.

If you can't adapt to the varifocals after about a week or two, you might try asking your optician whether the number of different strengths can be reduced. I think the standard is for seven different strengths across the lens. Sometimes reducing that to five different strengths can be helpful in adjusting.

Just a few thoughts! You wouldn't be the first person to hate varifocals at first! :D

Thank you, kind sir. I've also done a lot of research on these lenses since I got them. Normally I would have done such before ordering them, but I guess I just foolishly trusted my optometrist's suggestion. I'm definitely getting more used to them, but I do also think the orientation is off a bit; the distortion area seems in impinge on the vision in my right eye (in the reading glass area) more than in the left; it's quite noticeable. I go back this week to see if they can be adjusted at all.
 
I wanted to put that in the Favorite Motivational Posters thread but it's too old and I'd get banned for reviving a dead thread. :sigh:
 
I passed by a Gap and couldn't stop myself from buying this denim shirt. I couldn't find a picture of it online so that's actually our kitchen table... :D

Then I realised I hadn't bought a denim shirt since the 80s. :wtf:

The shirt's nice. Your table looks beautiful, with the wood grain and all.

Hubby and I just ordered an iMac. Our first Mac other than my iPhone.
 
I bought a Moleskine Reporter Notebook. Was expensive, for a notebook, but I want to feel good about my daily tools. And the binding is in the right place, which makes it easier to use it for planning my photo projects.

(I was thinking that I'd make my notes and plans on the computer this year but I can't. I need to have something tactile. I need to write my notes with a pen, otherwise I forget them. And sketching is not the same on the computer, even with a sketchpad.)

Went to Best Buy to get Chuck Season 3, and then I got impulsive and also bought the BSG Blu-Ray box set.

Moleskines are cool and very in at the moment too. :)

I never need to write in a notebook, which is a shame in a way, since I'd love to swan around with a Moleskine, or even better, a Smythson. Come to think of it, never needing to actually write in the notebook is just about the perfect qualification for owning a Smythson! :D
