woot fatigue posted:A half-zip wool sweater from Paul & Shark. I've had my eye on it for a few months but I wasn't going to pay full retail for it ($575) so I waited and got 70% off. I wouldn't wear that if someone paid me $575. But i'm sure it's extremely comfortable.  A nice bento box for lunch.

I spent $50 on IAP for one app for my iPad Mini and iPod Touch: JamUP ProXT  The sound quality of the amp and effects modeling smokes everything else available on iOS. GarageBand, Amplitube, Ampkit, etc... And since Apple just released an update for GarageBand that allows you to use this app, and other 3rd party apps to record to GarageBand, I couldn't resist.

Jerry Cotton posted:My brother has bought all of Bukowski's works several times over because people keep borrowing and never returning them. He's like the Bukowski nexus of this town. My first job was working at a movie theater and an ex employee left a copy of South Of No North, and I loved it. That's how I got turned on to him. Everyone who worked there read it (we had a lot of downtime between shows).

Used my REI dividend check and their 20% off coupon to get a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor, to push my rear end into cycling harder. Came out to $30 with the discounts. I managed to break a long standing strava record on my first ride with it. Don't know for sure if it was thanks to the new gadget, but it definitely helped.

I've tried every Ben and Jerrys flavor, in my opinion the best is: I don't even like coffee flavor ice cream but it contrasts so well with the toffee. I wait for it to melt a little bit, put it in a bowl and eat the whole pint in one serving. But that's okay to do when you cycle 50 miles. Anyone who's never tried it should give it a whirl. I bought replacement plastic parts for my 50's strat, because the stock ones are an aged cream color that looks a little too fake.

 This is to clean your ears out. This is far superior to the little ball pumps, and eye dropper kits you buy from the drug store. A lot of doctors offices use this same thing. It's very satisfying to use when you see how much gunk comes out. And you feel like a superhero with how keen your hearing becomes.

^ that's a sweet ride. I hope you really take advantage of its performance, and not just have it as a status symbol like S4 owners I know. I got this guitar tuner that's cheap but considered very good. Snark SN8  Perry Normal posted:
The DOD Supra Distortion was my first pedal, eventually I upgraded to the Metal Zone, big improvement. Now I am needing a metal stompbox again. I've listened to a ton of youtube demos of different pedals. The MXR Fullbore metal sounds really good and they go for $60 used on eBay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heHx03YdXEM

Leon Black posted:And an amp: Speaking of amps, and tube amps, my Blues Junior guitar amp is too drat loud to play at night with my bitchy neighbors. So I got a dirt cheap solid state combo.  Seller asked only $40. I'm mostly using it with headphones. It's modeling of clean fender amps is surprisingly good. Its heavy metal tones suck though. It's got a ton of sounds, but it's surprisingly complicated and unintuitive for a small practice amp. And a pair of Levis 514

I recently purchased a Fender Mustang I practice amp, but someone on craigslist was selling a Roland Micro Cube for only $20 (Costs $120 new) so I had to get it. I'll spend some time with both and keep the one I like the most, and flip the other one. The cool thing about it is that it can run on AA batteries. So you can have a little noodle jam in the car on a long road trip.

Since i'm on a family cell phone plan with 4 other people, I had to wait until everyone else was ready to get smartphones so we could all go to an everything data plan. So we all got iPhones. Being able to play Zynga Live Poker everywhere I go is all I need. Everything else is a bonus.

 Decided to splurge for Apple Care+ for my iPhone 5 since it will be sitting in my jersey pocket when I cycle 100+ miles a week, and its likely ill crash once in 2 years. This covers my rear end until I upgrade to my next phone.  Anker Astro mini to give me another full charge for those long summer days outside.

mesc posted:I also got a beefy lock for it, because it was about twice as expensive as my old, stolen bike (edit: my old bike that was stolen from me, hurr), and it is hilariously giant - weighs about 10 lbs. Smart move on the nice lock. I had a cheap lock that someone cut through, and decided I'd never let that happen again. I got the mini U version, and it's kept my high end road bike safe in many different situations.

A lot of people have had some relief using aromatherapy. Smelling something nice can definitely lift your mood. There are even specific scents or essential oils for depression. Maybe it smells like hookers, cocaine, and money.

Speaking of food, I got a pair of tickets to the annual Laughlin, NV Food Fest It's one amazing buffet. Head chefs from Las Vegas hotels come and make food thats fancier than what they serve at the hotels. I pretty much just load up on the alaskan king crab legs, with a few lobster tails, some shrimp, and a steak. They have a bunch of prize drawings. They hire beautiful models to give out cocktails, and its funny because the crowd is 90% senior couples, and the men try not stare or get a boner with their disapproving wives by their side.

I was in Mexico today. Got some asada tacos. The meat is carved, fresh vegetables chopped, and tortilla cooked from scratch right in front of you. Basically it's as fresh as possible.  Had to get it without the cilantro because that poo poo overpowers everything. And of course Mexican Coke, cause it's the real thing.

Got a new pair of Unbranded denim for $11. 14.5oz rope dyed japanese selvage denim for half the price of a pair of walmart jeans. A Scoe special from Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in LA.  This is the meal Samuel L Jackson used to lure Chris Tucker to his death in Jackie Brown. And a copy of Grand Theft Auto 5. I rarely buy a game instead of rent it. And I almost never preorder. But this game will be special.

I ate a beef brisket kit for dinner tonight, just so i'd know what to expect... The brisket was actually pretty good. Its similar to Dinty Moores beef stew. Tender and flavorful. But the portion was small. The biscuit was bad though. Dry and not tasty at all. Tootsie rolls and mint chicklets are as you'd expect. The cheese and crackers are giant versions of the same Kraft cheese and crackers you had in your lunchbox as a kid. The cookies are just like Keebler Sandies, except half as good. The hot cocoa and powdered lemonade weren't sweet enough, but adding some sugar made them taste fine.  The kit does its job well. Giving you a shitload of calories you need, in an easy to prepare package, with decent tasting food. The main issue is with how unhealthy the side items are. Too early to say if its gonna give me diarrhea or constipation

Got an affordable home movie setup for my pops birthday... ViewSonic PDJ5134. Large, and vibrant picture. Good quality, and easy to use.  $20 generic glasses from Amazon. They work pretty well. The 3D effect is well pronounced, and it's much easier on the eyes than analglyph 3D (red/blue)  Sony 3D Blu Ray Player with built in wifi and streaming services. Interface is almost identical to the PS3.  Logitech PC speakers for inexpensive sound and good bass.  Some 3D Blu Rays to get things rolling     It will mostly be used for Netflix movies though.
