What did you JUST buy?! Was it a sandwich? A computer? A country? A sandwich?

As for me, I got another sample of Etat Libre d'Orange's Tilda Swinton Like This. It smells like sunshine.

“Grilled Cheese Deluxe Sandwich” and bottle of Mexican Coke from Blue Moon Burgers, South Lake Union in Seattle. Place was busy with Amazon.com and Tesla dealership employees and families with small kids.

A pack of puffed rice crackers, brand name Brink, at the grocer's. I like to snack on them dry.

Nine vinyl albums, $1 each, at the local Salvation Army. Mostly classical.
Tempted to make it a round $10 with a 1973 Johnny Mathis album, "Killing me softly" with cover photos by Avedon, but resisted the temptation.
Was that a mistake?


(I could go back tomorrow…)

Eight milk crates to make a bookshelf out of.

Coffee for me and a cold iced-tea type drink for the Missus.

Where's the type?

Really, this isn't relieveboredom.com!

Where's the type?

Perhaps that's why I didn't get the Mathis album — there's no name or title on the front cover (above), and the back cover is just the track info k'o in Futura Book 8 pt.

Angry Birds Rio (an iPad game) from iTunes.

Comic Sans Pro

>Where's the type?

The game is over when someone mentions buying type. Vinnie wins!

Picked up a sample of Serge Lutens' Un Bois Vanille. I'm looking forward to trying his new fragrance Jeux de Peau, but I can't find any samples. It's the same story with the new Hermès offering Un Jardin sur le Toit.

This last post is completely off-topic. The title is last bought, "intend to buy". For that reason I’m calling shenanigans on this entire thread. Good day!

@ Vince,

Did you get a discount?

No not a cent. It makes money for other people not me. Sort of like collecting cans.

Arms & Sleepers - Black Paris 86

One of my favorite albums. I was okay with just having a digital copy, but I figured I'd get a hard copy as well. I wanna help them out.

A Dell Studio XPS 7100 with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, with an AMD six-core processor running at 3.2 gHz, 1 TB hard drive, 6 gB memory, a 1 mB video card, a THX sound card, and a 25" LCD monitor, all for less than $1,200 (with 0% financing for 12 months). The Easy Transfer program made migration from my old machine a breeze and, with Virtualization and backwards-compatibility modes, I can seamlessly run virtually every PC program I have purchased in the last twenty years on the box. A Motorola-compatible update for FL Studio for the Mac? Dream on...

3 burritos.

Century Gothic, because a good client were using unkosher version for years (unknowingly). Got it for her as a thank you gift.
