I was starting to feel a touch of the winter blues as I'm spending the holidays alone so I popped into a local Christmas record show and had the time of my life crate digging through a DJs killer collection of mint 90s electronic promos. I took an armful home and I'm absolutely blown away by how punchy and dynamic they play on my Denon hi-fi and Focal floor speakers.

I'm dancing like a monkey to jams from from Apollo Four Forty, Moby, Stereo MC's, Dave Gahan, Leftfield, Babylon Zoo, The KLF, Underworld, and DJ Punk-Roc's "Beatbox" cranked up to eleven. (And with over 600 Underworld objects in my archive, it's a rare feat that I can score DJ promos in the US that I don't already have!)

It takes me back to driving down the highway with 90.5 WBER FM on full blast back in high school.

This is precisely what I needed.

Music is always the best medicine for the blues. I know it is for me. Happy Christmas, ISB. :wavey:

Very pleased that my son has taken an interest in playing drums this past year. I bought him an electronic drum kit, since we can't have an acoustic drum kit in our apartment. I think he'll be totally surprised.

What a fun gift! :) Hope he digs it!

Thank you! I think I'LL dig it, as well! ;)

last bought a car battery. I was lucky enough to have a parent help me out and get one for me since I cant drive a dead car. it was way easier than i thought to change also :cool:

I bought one of these today:

During the last DG tournament in the prison, my old PA was struggling, so my buddy hooked one of those up and holy **** are they ****ing loud. So, me and another friend agree'd to both purchase one for the next event. Between the 3 of us, they'll be able to hear us in Kankakee.

Christmas gift card with $50 on it.


them pink lady apples are great, plus im having broccoli tonight :pimp:

Anyone know of any orchards for sale?

Nicely done! :clap: I love Aldi - where else could I get by on $12-15 of groceries a week?

I've mastered my grocery game. My list of staples is arranged in the order the products appear from the store entrance to the check out line. I arrive 5 minutes before they open every Saturday at 9AM and I'm loading the car to go home usually by 9:04.

I'm a pro.

Got these nice UK editions.. cant wait for #3 to come out this year.

Thats awesome, I also am in and out of the store so fast because I already know what Im most likely going to buy and the check out is fast. :beer:

I shared the receipt with my family who gave me the card so I thought Id share on here :) Im shocked at Aldi's prices for things, I worked for them for a little over a year and its a great company.


:beer:

its a bag of apples, not just one apple :)

lol Shanikqua must have been so confused by your love for pineapple slices, karma water, and apples
Good for you though! :beer:

From working there, I knew about their ordering schedule and have witnessed it since as I go still. They do what they call "seasonal items" every 3 month they switch up their "special items", karma water being one. So I grabbed a few since it was a gift anyways :)

The pineapples are in 100% pineapple juice too, no syrup funky business :beer:

:love:

Bought the protein that cost a lot per serving. its a dollar exactly per serving for 11 servings at 11 dollars. :o:
used my $5 off coupon though, bought some things I needed like hand soap and some food and drinks.two kind bars, some sticky notes, febreze.


it had to be over 25 dollars to get the $5 off and with the good protein, thats almost half :cool: bought a can of pineapples too

these came in the mail today
:cool:

A couple vintage dresses and a vintage hat (it's a velvety green material and has little baubles on it). Of course I've already managed to rip one of the dresses. Should be an easy fix though. Oh, and I also finally bought a vaporizer and a bunch of cbd flower samples. Hopefully it will make a tiny dent in my anxiety so I can sleep at night rather than pace and putter around endlessly.

I was looking for some sweat pants/active wear kind of things, and the last time I bought anything like that I paid some premium $$ (around $100) for an Under Armor pants and hoodie set from a national chain store. This time I went to a second hand shop and checked their racks. Whoa. Holy mother load. Rows and rows of Champion, Adidas, UA, Spaulding, etc. and they were all around the $10 range. Some cheaper, and a few were just a bit more. I walked out with 3 pairs of quality items for about $25.

I needed a small desk chair for my listening room and I found this neo-victorian accent chair for 1/10 the price of similar chairs listed online.

I spotted this piece at a local antique mall last November, and thanks to the detailed notes I kept I knew exactly where to find it.

The gold frame, burgundy velvet, and ornamental embellishments match all my other vintage furniture so I couldn't pass it up.

I threw out all my chairs. I don’t own a single chair. My scene is lots and lots of towels, blankets, cushions, and pillows.

Are these Mark Kozelek lyrics?

Norwegian Wood

That is a really nice lamp, and the chair is really cool too. Both seem to be in perfect condition :)

I got this on back order:

2700 RPM's lol

It comes with a 'more aggressive' steel wool replacement wheel too!

Ordered some stuff a few days ago, hopefully it will be arriving tomorrow:

The new Craig Finn album I Need A New War.
Ad Astra DVD.
Annihilation DVD (a sci-fi film starring Natalie Portman).
Never Look Away DVD (a German historical film, original title Werk Ohne Autor).

New TV and PS4 just came and have been mostly painless to setup so far. Finna throw back a few overpriced non-**** beers, order a pizza (or two), and play some Spider-Man before having to go to work at 7am tomorrow. Also got Divinity: Original Sin 2, The Outer Worlds, and Titanfall 2 to go with the new system.

Killer haul, Divinity 2 is damn near the GOAT RPG as far as I’m concerned

Nice.

New stuff for my truck came in today:

• American Racing Baja (black) rims
• Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires (285/70R17's)
• Access Vanish Tonneau Cover

I have a design drawn out for a disc golf storage system in the bed, using lots of wood and some corner brackets. Gotta clean all that clutter out from the back seat.

Good fortune has found me again! I spotted a local antique shop I'd never visited before and I popped in to see if they had any floor-standing antique globes. They had a half dozen!

I've given a new home to this locally-produced Kittinger terrestrial globe manufactured in 1931, Model 48F9. The globe was made by the renowned British globe maker W. & A.K. Johnston, and likely imported by A.J. Nystrom, Chicago. It's handsomely seated upon a hand-crafted 36" English Georgian style American Walnut stand with a carved acanthus leaf base and scrolling legs made in Buffalo, NY.

At ⅕ the price of the same model on auction sites, I couldn't pass it up. The globe is a lovely complement to my vintage decor and fits beautifully beside my French doors and antique Philco console radio and 78 player.

What luck!

The world is scavenging for toilet paper… and I’m buying antiques.

I miss my old globe that still had the Soviet Union.

I've decided to start folding origami again during this lockdown, so I bought some origami paper. It will take ages to arrive though, because it's coming all the way from Japan

I feel like a real Japanese person would call you a dumb gaijin for not just using some regular paper.

True. But did she work three hours on graveyard in the middle of a pandemic to become a walking Tuxedomoon billboard?

I have a globe like that, I got it as a gift in a reddit secret santa exchange lol

:laughing: true, but traditional origami paper is so pretty
