I treated myself to a new camera and a case of Warsteiner. I took a picture for you, enjoy...

Seven bottles of absinthe.

And a date with Rosy.

I got a chair and ottoman and computer cabinets from Ikea.

Then I got to put them together.

Now your life is complete

Or at least my cabinets.

Lots of clothes and shoes.

I would have bought you a haircut bater

No one can bate him into a haircut he don't want.

I like it! Seriously.

Reminds me of my lamp photos.....

DVD burner and a tray of DVD media.

Beer. I couldn't afford Absinthe.

Did you take the picture before or after the case of Warsteiner's?




Nevermind, that was the implication.....the caffein's not kicking in yet.

I bought myself (all glass related):

Brass shaping tool
Stainless steel mandrels
Graphite button mold
Fine silver wire (10 ft. - 28 gauge)
Reactive reduction frit
Shampoo glass sample pack

I plan to spend next weedend in my studio.

Four bottles of Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe.

My wife gave me some tile coasters with antique absinthe posters printed on them.

I did the Ikea thing last month.
Got rid of my dining room and replaced with with a computer area/other room in which to drink.

This month, I'm buying myself something unmentionable in a public forum.

Unmentionable? >perk<



I'll probably do the Ikea thing again before I head home after LFIII. Poor Emi, dragged around the multi-acre Ikea store . . . with a hangover . . .

Lent a helping hand
and one or two for me.
A Merry Christmas!

I'm offering my unmentionable in exchange for free room and board...oh THAT unmentionable.

wild turkey, arak, and rum.

also, i'll prolly get some new ink this week. dunno yet.

the biggest gift to myself was taking this week off.

Considering all the sticky snow we're getting here, I'll probably get time off too.

The biggest gift you could give to us to take the week off from this place...

Merry Christmas all!

I bought myself a Harley. Now Raindog and I need to hit the highway just like in Easyrider. I just hope I'm not the one that gets shot.

Why not ride out to Louche Fiesta?

That was the plan ... I have a wedding to attend that Saturday, so I won't be in attendance. I did promise Abby I'd call in though ... just to make sure you bunch of clowns cranked the party up to a respectible level.

I'd like to buy myself some sleep.

A comfy computer chair.

Been using one of those shitty metal fold up chairs...

Macallan Cask Strength. No, somebody else bought that for me. I didn't buy myself anything cause I don't want anything.

A garden gnome, and a small ceramic jar with a cork top that says 'aches and pains'

A CD player, a comfy blanket, and the Remco EZ-home trepannation kit.

I bought a useless garden sculpture
and a bunch of herbs that won't grow
in the toxic city soil.
But I'm happy.

It's all about growing in pots.

Do you need a slap in the head?
Are you retarded?
Has sarcasm ever bitten your ass and you've scratched a BlackHead?
Smarten up.

Almost forgot,
another bottle of Curieux from Allagash,
10% Blonde Ale aged in oak,
oh damn is it smooth and tasty....

I got a DVD-R drive for my computer, that won't play DVD movies.

Ernest Hemingway's "The Complete Short Stories".

A cople of DVD movies and two pair of Levis 517s.

Too busy buyin' other people stuff.

I bought myself a new digital camera, a shitload of computer accessories and some clothes. Also bought a bunch of dvds- supposedly for my husband. Heh heh. The best gifts are those that you can use yourself.

I got among other things, a Laptop (p4 1gig, 128mb video to play Everquest 2 on). A 17" LCD for my desktop. A nice Ralph Lauren leather Jacket. A signed Return of the King poster (most of the major stars signed it). And a Sunburst Fender Stratocaster.

Overall some good loot this year.

Oh yeah and a 1L bottle of 151 Bacardi from Mom. Zombies anyone?

I ended up giving myself a cheap hotel room full of prostitutes and a bunch of crystal meth.

Ahhh...sex with prostitutes.

The gift that keeps on giving.

I also finally installed Unreal (>YAWN< No strategy, no incentive not to die, just kill anything that moves).

Then a trial version of Doom III (not so bad, but not great).

Let's see if Half-Life is better.

Any game suggestions? I feel like killing people, but I want the chance to be creative about it . . . and as far as I know, there's no serial killer game out there yet!

You could always go to work for the US Postal Service.

Actually, Cros isn't too far off the mark.

Go Postal

Homeworld2, Return of the King Extended Edition (obviously), Battle for Middle Earth PC, and then the big splurge:


Note: mine is going to be a 16"/f4.4, not the f5 depicted here. Shorter.

Hey Rimmy!

I bought Glassy the Galaxie 500 DVD for Yule.
Damn is it good,
the live shows are great, and in chronological order
so you can see the talent level of the band increase dramatically,
Dean especially.

I hear that HL2 is VERY good. On G4 (gamer's channel on cable) last night, they put HL2 up against Halo2 to see which was better. They ended up liking both games very much, but HL2 came out slightly ahead.

If you wanna kill people in creative ways, here are two suggestions:

Any of the Metal Gear Solid titles
Any of the Tenchu titles (for ninja-style stealth killing)

I know that both offer very creative ways to stalk and silently assassinate your enemies. For example, in Tenchu, you can throw a ball of poison rice in front of a guard, and when he eats it and starts to choke, you sneak up behind him and slash his throat.

Good times!

Sounds fun!

(What kind of an idiot guard eats a rice ball that appears in front of him?!)


Doom III ain't bad, but the critters don't learn or react. All you need to do is keep saving the game, and learn what's coming from where.

Another ninja goodie you can take with you on your missions is an inflatable decoy of yourself. You toss it over to a guard (in compressed form), then it inflates, and the guard attacks it thinking it's you. Dumbass. Then you can either sneak past the guard and spare a life, or do what ninjas do best, and take this opportunity to violently slay your gullible victim.

Jesus sixela! Trying to spot the Borg before they arrive? That thing looks awesome.

I didn't buy myself anything because I bought my new pet lizard (bearded dragon) a new 55 gallon tank

I did get a DNA extraction kit from the Discovery store though, and it's totally awesome. It's supposed to be a toy but it has a working centrifuge and everything...

Cool. I picked up a copy myself before X-Mas and I've watched about half of it so far. It's fookin' great. Tix for Luna's last show ever go on sale next week. Show is Feb. 27th. I'm so there.
