Your latest purchases

It was a gift not a purchase, but if we're flaunting cool @$$ shiznit, I was given a Speedo Aquabeat. And MP3 player that plays underwater. Snaps to my goggle strap. I jam out in the pool now.
 
Ugh I just paid a bunch of bills and grocery shopped.

My discretionary spending has been at $0 for the past few months. I don't even treat myself to the occasional cup of coffee any more.
 
I did some shopping at the Dutch Army Depot today:

M90 sleeping bag & mattress, raincoat, standard uniform, dress uniform, a helmet, 2 pair of boots, 2 pair of dress shoes, 2 pairs of sporting shoes, loads of shirts, socks, underwear and lots more.
I even got a pair of running shoes. Almost identical to the pair I purchased this week! (just a different colour)

Last friday I got Lasik eye sugery and no longer need glasses.
A big part of my day to day life since March 1975 is now a memory.

When you need reading glasses, the memory will return. :D

I don't think I've bought much beyond groceries, the odd restaurant meal, etc, etc for a couple of weeks now.

I'm virtuous, and I didn't even know it.

^Virtuous? Let's not get carried away, now... :D

:lol:

Well, maybe not. But a couple of weeks of relative restraint, combined with the recent market gains, means that at least the bank balance is looking more virtuous recently even if I'm not. Don't worry, I sense a vice-ridden bespoke tweedy jacket in my not-so-distant future to drive me back into the welcoming arms of Mephistopheles...
 
Groceries that included some new gym-stlyle capris, two new books, 4 dvds (27 Dresses, Some Kind of Wonderful, Zodiac and Star Trek: Nemisis, all of which where in a discount bin).

Those 'everything' grocery stores are dangerous :lol:

A new life! That was what he wanted. That was what he was waiting
for. Surely he had begun it already. He had spared one innocent
thing, at any rate. He would never again tempt innocence. He would be
good.

As he thought of Hetty Merton, he began to wonder if the portrait in
the locked room had changed. Surely it was not still so horrible as it
had been? Perhaps if his life became pure, he would be able to expel
every sign of evil passion from the face. Perhaps the signs of evil
had already gone away. He would go and look.

He took the lamp from the table and crept upstairs. As he unbarred the
door, a smile of joy flitted across his strangely young-looking face
and lingered for a moment about his lips. Yes, he would be good, and
the hideous thing that he had hidden away would no longer be a terror
to him. He felt as if the load had been lifted from him already.

He went in quietly, locking the door behind him, as was his custom, and
dragged the purple hanging from the portrait. A cry of pain and
indignation broke from him. He could see no change, save that in the
eyes there was a look of cunning and in the mouth the curved wrinkle of
the hypocrite. The thing was still loathsome--more loathsome, if
possible, than before--and the scarlet dew that spotted the hand seemed
brighter, and more like blood newly spilled. Then he trembled. Had it
been merely vanity that had made him do his one good deed? Or the
desire for a new sensation, as Lord Henry had hinted, with his mocking
laugh? Or that passion to act a part that sometimes makes us do things
finer than we are ourselves? Or, perhaps, all these?

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
 
I just bought two hardcover comic books: "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow."

Orson Scott Card is really milking "Ender's Game" for all it's worth! :lol: What do I care? I love every single book in the series.
 
A corndog at the Indiana State Fair! And it was yummy, too.

I can't work up a lot of enthusiasm for the fair - it's a perfectly nice fair, but I have to go there a lot for work (long story), so I'm pretty burned out, fair-wise. I still have plenty of enthusiasm for corndogs and pork burgers, though.
 
Some Cargo Trousers,
Das Boot/Clerks/Desert Rats on dvd,
Paul of Dune (Present, but I'll end up reading it sooner or later),
Medal of Honor:Airborne and Bioshock (PC)
 
I splurged yesterday... and I mean splurged... at least for me. I bought the DS Enterprise D, which I have been wanting but couldn't justify spending $50. (It was on sale.) I also bought a few more Smurf figures to go in the new collection. (I really need to buy Smurfette's house!) I also purchased the second season of Designing Women and picked up a the last two seasons of The Golden Girls. Now if I could just find the first season, the collection will be complete. That would put my complete tv collections at twenty-seven! (I am addicted to DVD buying. I need a 12 step program. :rommie:)
