I've looked at A Thousand Splendid Suns but never really picked up on it. And I, too, would like a huge set of Prismacolor markers, but damn they're expensive!

Added to my list: bachelor party in one week. Gonna be spending money on booze and strippers!

[AlucardsFate]

The Cable Guy

Gah...really!?

Yikes...

I'm building a new computer for my brother...I need to spend on that...

[Robobvious]

Yes, I love that movie, Jim Carrey is absolutely hilarious.

Ima surf ebay/craigslist, I'm thinking a 12 set with a blender. Shouldn't cost much. Copics are more expensive, I'd really like Copics, but I think I can do the same quality of work with Prismacolors.

[Scion_of_Life]

Yes, I love that movie, Jim Carrey is absolutely hilarious.

Couldn't agree with you more!

I also would like to buy the new Green Lantern animated movie...

[Fedaykin]

I'm thinking of getting Mass effect again. I traded it in a long time ago, now I can't remember why.....

Books....college textbooks...that's really it.

Cause I was a smart weetle boy and fully payed off the games I wanted ages ago, which includes bayonetta, brutal legend and something else.

[Scion_of_Life]

Found out I need to read 16 additional books for Young Adult Literature, which means:

16 books that have a significant interest to young adults, like Harry Potter or Twilight

Wait, scratch that. I am not reading Twilight.

HAHAHAHAHA


good luck with that.

Also, I need to buy a printer.

[KnightAttack]

Books....college textbooks...that's really it.

Ugh. I hear that.

I might actually have to USE my books this year.....scary thought.

Still, I waste over $600 a year on textbooks.....it's sad really.


But What I'm buying this next week?

A bookcase.
A TV [probably a 37" Sony]
RAM for my laptop [I want this bitch running better]. Should be a cheap fix.
Sandals.
An electric frying pan.
Beatles: Rock Band.
New PS3 controller.


And......that's probably it.

[Scion_of_Life]

The Lost Kingdom of Landover Series by Terry Brooks

It came out in a two volume set. I remember reading most of this five book series when I was younger. Gotta have it!

[ReverendHobo]

Things I need to spend money on?

Hmm... I need me some hookers and blow.

[ShinNatsume]

Give parents the money for booking my Michigan flight

GAMES
Tekken 6 & SD Vs Raw 2010

Want to get the Death Note manga, seen the films and anime, and read parts of the manga of a friend.

[Robobvious]

Young Adult? Check out Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan or his other cool series, The Demonata. I can also recommend the Pendragon series by D. J. MacHale. Or the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore.

[Phoenixx]

um....well, if I HAD money to spend:

bills...they just never seem to go away dammit! lol
kids' dance classes (start back up in two weeks) plus they both need new shoes and recital outfits...that can really add up):

oldest daughter's birthday 2 1/2 weeks away....she's having a slumber party this year...so I need to get stuff for that, as well as lots of wine for myself;) just so I can deal with all the little squeels and whatnot (yea, I know, I used to be one of them myself......)

Um, if I ever get to spend money on what I'd like to, I could use some new fall/winter gear......Mine are all a couple of years old, and starting to show their age.....Hey, I gotta look good to;)

and it sure wouldn't hurt my feelings any if I could get a new water softener......I got used to having one and mine took a shit on me a few months back.....I hate hard water stains!

[Phoenixx]

Ugh. I hear that.

I might actually have to USE my books this year.....scary thought.

Still, I waste over $600 a year on textbooks.....it's sad really.





Yea, I remember those days, almost needed a second job JUST to pay for the damn books! The REALLY sad part is when you go to sell them back, they don't give you shit for them (at least where I went to school)

I feel for ya fellas):

[Robobvious]

You should buy your textbooks from kids in the class above you and then when your finished sell them to the kids in the class below you. Lots of people do it and it makes a ton of sense.

[Fedaykin]

What he said. Also, double post....

[Scion_of_Life]

Young Adult? Check out Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan or his other cool series, The Demonata. I can also recommend the Pendragon series by D. J. MacHale. Or the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore.

I definitely need to remember the Pendragon series. I have heard about it, but I just haven't had the time as of late. The Demonata huh? I guess I should check into that too. Thanks for the tips!

Thread: Glasses. My old pair is too old...like ancient!

[ChukoLiang]

MGS4. I'm GOING to play MGO. Somehow.

[Robobvious]

Aww you know what I want more than anything right now? Beatles Rock Band.

[SnakeEyez]

I need a new rice cooker. My old one stopped working without warning. Dang thing won't even turn on now.

[GlassAdam]

I would like one of those, too. I added one to my Amazon wishlist a few months ago.

[Fedaykin]

I'm thinking of getting this when it comes out...

[Scion_of_Life]

I need a new rice cooker. My old one stopped working without warning. Dang thing won't even turn on now.

And I thought I was the only one lazy enough to have one. Gotta love the rice!

Thread:

I gotta buy a book called "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang. It's for class and apparently, my college didn't have it.

[Phoenixx]

lol, my sis and bro in law got 3 (rice cookers) for wedding gifts last year...rat bastards wouldn't come off one either! I even offered to pay them for it....that's okay, I'll rememeber that...lol

[Robobvious]

The new digital camo is very odd, I don't dislike it but I think the old style was fine the way it was.

[Fedaykin]

I agree it's kinda ugly, but I love those extra back buttons...

But it's Mad Catz, and I've never been impressed with 3rd party controllers... :(

[Grand_OoF]

I do not spend money. I merely consume the currency and store it in random places around my apartment so that when the time is right...

MACHINES OF WAR! THE WORLD SHALL FALL BEFORE MY MIGHTY HAND THE GRAND ORDER OF THE OOF! SHALL OVERTAKE YOU ALL!


BWA HA HA HA!

...

:neko_068:

Uh...

By which, I mean, I'll spend it on Monster Racers.

http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp332/NintendoFB19/monster-racers-game-poster.jpg

Yes...not devices of destruction.

Monster Racers.

<_<

>_>

[Fedaykin]

But it's Mad Catz, and I've never been impressed with 3rd party controllers... :(

I agree. The only peripheral they have made that has impressed me is the Intercooler TS I bought recently. But this controller looks good enough I think. The extra buttons I like...

But I'll still wait on a review before I get it.

[Scion_of_Life]

But it's Mad Catz, and I've never been impressed with 3rd party controllers... :(

I don't really like 3rd party controllers either with the exception of the Logitech wireless controllers for the PS2.

Thread: a wireless mouse for my laptop. stupid touch pad...

I've grown accustomed to touchpads. Mice feel weird now to me.

[Scion_of_Life]

I've grown accustomed to touchpads. Mice feel weird now to me.

I have to admit that I have grown used to using a touch pad and even with a wired mouse connected, I still use the touch pad. I like using the mouse when I play solitaire though as it is more comfortable when I play for way too long at one time.

Maybe I should stick with the corded mouse I have now. It works great and I still find myself using the pad at times anyway. I could put that money in my 360 savings pile instead.

Thread: Xbox 360

*thumbs up*

Look forward to having a new XBL buddy :)

I should have one before Christmas assuming I get my way on this one.

[Fedaykin]

I should have one before Christmas assuming I get my way on this one.

Then maybe we could play some Moder Warfare 2 :)

[Scion_of_Life]

Then maybe we could play some Moder Warfare 2 :)

I don't do well in the shooter arena, but I'll try me some Modern Warfare...as long as I get to blow some shit up!!!

[Fedaykin]

You definitely will have that chance.

[Scion_of_Life]

You definitely will have that chance.

Then I definitely need to gets me a 360 so I can play!

[Fedaykin]

Definitely.

A portable hard drive, specifically for when I download movies/series that I only plan on watching once and then removing, cuz downloading and removing 20 GB plus of shit to you computer then deleting it is NOT good for your system.

I think I should invest in an external hard drive as well. All this music is taking up too much room.

[Robobvious]

Definitely.

Really? Good to know. I may want to invest in one eventually as well.

Yeah the data is never truly and completely erased. not even with CCleaner(which I highly recommend you guys use, as well as frequent defragmenting. So that just builds up in your HDD thus reducing space over time.

So it's ideal to keep data(specifically music and videos and pics, etc.) on a separate drive.

The weird thing is that I had an external hard drive and it went and disappeared on me when I moved out of my old apartment. Either I misplaced it and its still in a box somewhere or a roommate took it.

[CheDuff]

A beautiful night, this Friday, for me an mah lady.

[Robobvious]

Dethklok and Mastodon, together at the House of Blues. Hell yeah. Ticket Master says it's gonna be $42.75 for the floor.

[Scion_of_Life]

If I had the chance, I would go. However, that would be another thing I have to spend my money on. At this rate, I may never get a 360...

[Fedaykin]

Beatles Rock Band(game only). *cries*

[Robobvious]

Oh god, you poor man. That's like having a Ferrari with no engine! Useless!

[Fedaykin]

Oh god, you poor man. That's like having a Ferrari with no engine! Useless!

What do you mean. I have my GHII Les Paul guitar. Thus I only need the game....

[Scion_of_Life]

A Nintendo DS

I was going to fix my other one, but the screen cracked and it would cost about the same to fix as to replace. I wanna play Dragon Quest...

[DukeBryson]

A new bed. Also, I need to make payments on my student loans.

[Grand_OoF]

It's the beginning of the month, so that meeeeeeeeeeeans...

RENT AND UTILITIES ARE DUE!

YAAAAAAY!

*groans*

[Scion_of_Life]

I need a new winter coat and because I have a job that requires me to be outside everyday, I need snow pants and boots soon too.

[Robobvious]

I worked for my dad for 12 hours the other day, so I have some money coming my way.

My priorities are:
His birthday present.
Dethklok/Mastodon tickets.

[Fedaykin]

New old PS2 games! Also, food.

[Scion_of_Life]

http://thegamereviews.com/images/uploads/20081029_playstation-2-sony.jpg

It's not worth it to fix the old one.

[AlucardsFate]

I am considering replacing my Graphics Card. It has served me well for several years...but my current one is starting to crack...

After some research...I am looking at this: (And I learned that the red haired ATI chick is named Ruby)

[SnakeEyez]

Got a dentist's appointment and an oil change on Tuesday, so I'll need to shell out some cash for those.

I also need to pay my rent and utility bill and make a payment on my student loans before the end of the month.

F**k cockroaches.

[AlucardsFate]

You have roaches?

Move. That is the only solution. And rigorously inspect all of your luggage on the way out. Those fuckers are impossible to get rid of.

[SnakeEyez]

Can't. My lease runs until June 2012. I'm stuck here until then, so I have little choice but to fight the bastards.


----------------------------------------------------------------------


Buttmuffins. I was rinsing my electric shaver in the sink when one of the three blades popped off and fell down the drain. This shaver is only two months old, but I can't use it with only two blades. My choices now are to either get a new shaver ($40 to $50), get a new package of three replacement blades ($35, and no, they don't sell individual blades), or attempt to disassemble the pipes underneath my sink to retrieve the lost blade.

[AlucardsFate]

I propose that you get one of the cheaper non electric ones. If those fall apart you don't have to care. Don't get the shitty store brand ones though.

[SnakeEyez]

I propose that you get one of the cheaper non electric ones.

...you're telling me to get a non-electric electric shaver.

If you're referring to an actual razor, I'll pass. I prefer electric shavers.

[RedWizard]

...you're telling me to get a non-electric electric shaver.

If you're referring to an actual razor, I'll pass. I prefer electric shavers.

Wuss. I've been using blades since I was... well, since I was young. Although it was only about a year ago that I started using one with three blades and a pivoting head... still, can't complain about a close shave when you get one!

[SnakeEyez]

It's not that I'm not man enough to use a razor blade...it's just that razor blades are really only good for shaving your face. And I don't just shave my face.

So yeah, bite me. Bite my smooth, clean-shaven chest and belly. Not literally. No homo.

[AlucardsFate]

Oh you got the Seinfeld thing going...

as long as you aren't taking it south of the border....I guess we are okay.

[SnakeEyez]

Gonna get a new radiator for my car on Saturday. Whee.


----------------------------------------------------------------


It's that time of the year again! Time to simultaneously renew my apartment lease, renter's insurance, vehicle registration, and auto insurance. My wallet hurts already.

I feel that pain, but for different reasons..this time of year sucks for my checkbook to, especially because I have to take two courses over the summer to graduate in June..No more grant, scholarship or loan $$ either, so it's all out of pocket:/
