First, a refreshing look at our nation's finances:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/JubaksJournal/TheFinancialTrapFacingTheUSChina.aspx?page=1
Is U.S. nearing financial avalanche?
In July, the United States may have reached a tipping point, one of those moments when all the snow that has been building up in the mountains suddenly becomes an avalanche. We've been spending more than we take in with both hands for a while now. But only recently has paying the interest on all that debt really started to cost us very much money.
The United States has piled up a string of monthly trade-deficit records recently. The July 2006 deficit of $68.04 billion, for example, erased the October 2005 deficit of $66.6 billion. For all of 2005, the United States spent $717 billion more on goods and services than it took in -- also a record. So far, 2006 is on a pace to handily surpass that deficit: The January-July 2006 deficit hit $453 billion, way ahead of the $398 billion deficit in the corresponding period of 2005.
At the same time, the U.S. government has been spending more than it took in. Since 2001, the federal government, certainly not the only layer of government practicing deficit financing, has borrowed $1.3 trillion to pay for tax breaks, new Medicare drug benefits and the war in Iraq.
Ahh..that's uplifting.
SO ANYWAY I am grabbing:

MAF don't buy that CD seriously.
um...honestly I don't know what I want, haven't "wanted" anything for awhile...I think I need to get more multivitamins though.
-
Buying these after work:

Also going to pick up Battallion Wars or Fire Emblem:POR if I can find it.
-
The wife wants X3: The Stand. Other than that, there ain't much for me to buy save some Gamecube S-Video cables, if I can find 'em.
-
Chris: You liked 'sexy back'. Your opinion is null. Besides, I borrowed it from the internet store and liked it a lot, so I will buy a copy.
-

GIANT IMAGES
I bought those
well, sam's town I bought yesterday but it will probably get here later this week
-
Westworld is one of my favorites. Awesome fucking movie.
-
Haven't seen it in years. I was probably not even a teenager when I saw it last, but I vaguely remember it's awesomeness. I was mistakenly under the impression that the DVD was out of print, so when I saw it in the store I snatched it up - YOINK. Then I checked online later and the supply is plentiful everywhere.

Yul Brenner is so cool that I wanted the Jews to lose in The Ten Commandments.

In a couple weeks my roomates will be out of town so I have the place to myself, and will sit around and do nothing but watch TV and play games. :dur
-
God if I was in your situation, by the time my roomies came back I'd be in a porn coma, with hairy palms and everything in the whole dwelling coated in a thin layer of spunk
-
lol, I love how "Limited" that BotD giftset turned out to be. And here I thought I was a lucky chump for getting both sets for only $40... :-\
-
I got Xmen 3 and the Killers CD but I couldn't find the new Stargate DVDs :(

I just bought a brand new Buffalo LCD monitor for use with my XBox 360 last night. It looks so nice, and feels much bigger compared to the cheap older monitor I was using before.
Thursday I'm picking up Tenchu Senran for the 360 (it's already paid for with the points I got from buying the monitor, awesome) and likely Gundam Battle Royale.

-
Yeah so I found out STARGATE IS OUT NEXT WEEK WTF! THEN I FOUND OUT I CANT READ AND POWERSTONE COLLECTION IS END OF THE MONTH WTF.
However I got Sam's town, and fuck the haters, I like this cd a lot. Im still deciding if I like it more than Hot Fuss.
As for my entertainment spending, I only go after good deals, I dont spend THAT much on entertain..wait yeah I do. Sorta the joy of being single I guess. I still have lots of bills, a pet, food gas all that, but the rest of my money is for me to go wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Im addicted to buying lots of small purchases :)
-
Maf look at target for Stargate they have had it out for two weeks over here.
-
The Killer's are awesome, and their new CD is news to me. May have to put off buying the things I need for a while...
Anyway I bought a serpa jacket off oldnavy only to find that about five other girls at my college campus also have it and wear it on the exact days I do. :'(
-
Westworld rules, the sequel's pretty funny but nowhere near as entertaining. Don't buy The Killers people, please. By all accounts they are a fucking terrible band.

I bought this Nepalese coat for $20 while on holiday last month. It's really nice and I love it, but it's fallen apart in so many places I think the secret is to not buy Nepalese coats that are actually made in Nepal.
-
I thought they sounded bad in the commercial promoting their cd.

Anime is overrated.
Only Cowboy Bebop and Samurai X are awesome.
-
Anime is awful these days. Given that morphix is buying "Boys Over Flowers," I'm pretty sure he'll pay for ANYTHING animated.

how could anyone not love Ichigo Mashimaro?

True true. Still pretty cute though, and one of the few anime's I ever watched religously. :P I can't really get into anime's anymore, are there any that aren't melodramatic or poorly written/animated?
Naruto was a let down. :(

depends what you like, there is all sorts of good stuff out there.
Some really good ones I have seen lately are:
little serious
Fullmetal Alchemist
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (1st and 2nd seasons)
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Christo
Speedgrapher
Planetes
Eureka Seven
lighthearted fun
Ichigo Mashimaro
Hare Guu
Kaleido Star
Kamichu
Ghost Stories (got to see the US dub of this one :lol )
-
obligatory BLEACH mention.
Hardly cutesy anime, but good nonetheless.
-
Bleach sucks worse than Led Zeppelin!
-
Best Buy just emailed me to say that my CD is on it's way.
Drinks are on me!
-
I'm enjoying One Piece.
-
One Piece rocks. X-Men High Seas Edition FTW!
-
Anime sucks, feggits.
-
The Slayers TV series (including Next and TRY) is probably my favorite anime ever. Fun lovin adventure before the harem trend but new enough to be pretty funny.
As for the killer hate, fuck you guys, I listen to what I like! KILLERS RULE!
-
Seriously though, The Killers suck. It feels good to just admit that.
-
I'm getting an HD DVD player, a 71. Surround Sound system and a new car before the end of the year. Yipi.
-
:'(
how could anyone not love Ichigo Mashimaro?
Huh?

Tenchu is out...I got the call! :D As soon as work's over, I'm heading down to Yamada Denki to see what else came out today, and also to be astonished at the ludicrously-priced DVDs. Even m0rphix would be too poor to buy everything that comes out over here.
There's a lot of good manga out there. I recently started reading a series called "Ping Pong Dash," about a high school yankee (kind of like a punk) that gets into playing table tennis for lots of stupid reasons. Being in Japan, I can see how there are, unfortunately, so many interesting-looking comics out there that will never make it out in English. It's a real shame. :( I agree about anime though; there really seems to be nothing too appealing out. I am looking forward to Fist of The Blue Sky though.
-
WHERE THE HELL IS MY CD, BEST BUY/UPS/USPS ??!
-
UPS/USPS is rockin out!
-
Finally! Got this today:
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HEZEY6.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V58799903_.jpg)
Musta been some weird distribution problem on tuesday.
Also grabbed this for a nostalgia trip, ill get season 3 next friday:
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00022FWEU.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
Didn't this show jump networks at season 4 and the cast was retooled? Cause that would explain the lack of season 4 on dvd :(
-
I just picked up the Stargate set at Borders, $33 after some coupon my brother got for buying some manga.
-
I bought OPM just for the Guitar Hero demo. 10 bucks though WTF!
-
Stargate rox woo!
-
In the past 2 weeks:
Boots: $120
Ballet flats: $20
tokidoki handbag: $150
Sweater: $20
Okami: $40
Earrings: $5
Food, gas, etc.: $40
So, about $400 in 2 weeks :( It's a good thing I get paid well. I have to curb my spending now though, need to save up for moving, and I still have to put $600 toward my Macbook.
-
ooooooooookami
-
Some new shirts (I can fit into a large now :o)
two new pairs of jeans
and a new pair of shoes for a little trip at the end of the week :D

SOMEDAY I WILL BUY CLOTHES FOR MYSELF. Honestly there isnt much I wanna wear. Cept a big ol BARREL
-
I have decided it would be against my better judgment to buy clothes for myself. I really don't have the right to do that anymore :P
-
MAF R U DRNK
-
I had a conversation on clothes this morning:
Her: we gotta start buying Christmas shit early
Me: yeah
Her: y'know, i hate buying stuff for you, you buy everything for yourself before xmas
Me: lol, just get me clothes, it's not like i'll willingly purchase them
Her: what would you wear if if i didn't shop for you
Me: what was i wearing back in 1993? probably that.
Her: :(
-
I did buy another bottle of this the other day. The one at my desk is almost gone, and I keep forgetting I have some JB Black Label on the top shelf in the kitchen :)
(http://www.liamsirishpub.us/images/jameson_3.jpg)
-
Haha, that's great, Drinky. I'm still wearing stuff I have from six to five years ago. I've decided it's best to just let CrystalGemini decided what I should wear.
-
PUSSY WHIPPED MUCH?
-
No, not at all. Let's face it - I'm not a fashion connoisseur. Like Drinky, I never purchase clothes for myself, and am perfectly happy with wearing clothes from last decade and sports jerseys. CrystalGemini has style; she's smart with clothes and she hasn't made a bad choice so far. Why control something I don't care all that much about when someone with far better taste than I likes to anyway?
-
*covers ears*
LOLZ PUSSAY WHIPPED LIKE A BITCH HAHAHAHA
-
I will punch you right in the uterus, Shake.
-
Lets talk booze, I liked your whiskey recommendation Willco. What's a good scotch tht doesnt cost 50 DOLLARS like the shit Bacon drinks :(
-
I will punch you right in the uterus, Shake.
Bring it on.... *burp*
-
You can get a good bottle of Glenmorangie for like $35 on sale, if you look. I really like that stuff. Scotch in general is expensive, though. But in your price range, I'd look for Glenlivet or Glenmorangie and you can get both on sale in the $35 - $45 price range.
-
Guys can't pick out clothes.
I only buy stuff one of my bro's Xs picks out. I think that is the only reason we ever talk with her anymore :lol
I'll try the shit on, send her a pic on my cell and she'll give me a thumbs up or down :-[
-
Argh, shut it.
-
I'm not interested in colors or fabrics or labels. I've tried to muster some poorly-feigned enthusiasm in order to impress girlfriends back in the collegiate days, but the moment I'm out of eyeshot at Macy's, I'm out the door and flinging my cash at marginal videocard upgrades at Best Buy.
Seriously, I don't get why dudes ever care about clothes. It never impaired my chances with reasonably attractive women, and the last people I wanna impress are swishy dudes into fashion. My old man used to punch grizzlies and knife-fight with eco-terrorists wearing just flannel, and while I haven't developed his taste for plaid, I also see no reason why I should go out of my way to be "stylish". At least I don't wear anime T-shirts and ratty jean shorts, LOLZ AM I RITE!
-
lolz I bet you do
-
Willco: would I be able to find it in any Liquor Store with the grumpy old man checker and the weird automatic In Out doors?
-
You probably should be able to find a bottle of Glenmorangie just about anywhere, but I'm not sure sure about the availability of Glenlivet.
-
Pffft, you guys and your girly shirts and expensive liquor. BLASPHEMOUS! >:(
-
lolz ur a dirty poor
-
lolz ur a dirty poor

Personally, I just drink that shit that prisoners whip up. Grappo or something like that; moldy orange rinds. MMMMmmm that's good drinking.
-
Bullshit, bootlicker.
-
Haha, wtf Corn.
ANYWAY thanks for the booze protips willco. Oh btw have you tried that booze in a can shit you can buy at liquor stores? The long islands are fuckin STRONG. lol I tried drinking one right out of the can. Almost fell over.

tomato juice with clam essence.

Looks like I was wrong when I said MAF keeps the American economy afloat single-handedly. Bravo, morphix, even if I've watched anime in my life, except for that time Adult Swim was dubbing farts into an episode of anime.

Just got my 07 Hyundai Santa Fe delivered to my driveway
DVDs:
Harvey Birdman S2
Club Dread
Preorded PS3 with no games
Also this morning i met up with an Architect firm to consult with about making a cabin i've been wanting for a while. I actually took my drawings to them on what i wanted to build at the current site and i take them on friday to see the land where it will be built. Hopefully by then they can give me an idea as to whats possible and what isnt.
I'm gonna guess this will be the biggest investment of my life but its not just for me. I plan on opening it up to the kids i sponsor as a place where they can get out of the city. Making softwalk ways that are accessable by wheelchairs and things like that. Gonna cost a lot though.
