What's your most recent purchase? (Non-Alchemy)

I bought a few odds and ends over the weekend... lots of cardboard boxes, to help me with the sorting/re-organizing fit I seem to be having lately. It's good to reclaim a bit of closet space though, plus I've got quite a bit set aside for donation... someone can make use of this stuff, rather than it cluttering up my house.

I also bought a couple of T-shirts at Zellers, for $2 each. They're nothing fancy, just for hanging around the house... definitely can't beat that price though! If they'd had better selection in my size, I would have got a few more.

I bought three cd-s over ebay that arrived today. Got the last HIM album and two albums from David Garrett.

>.< Black ball-point pens. I absolutely hate them so I usually use them for revision to prevent wear and tear/waste of ink with my favourite fountain pen..I also like having a bunch of ball-points for spares in case my fountain pen screws up during exams, but all 5 of my spares conveniently ran out on Monday.

I usually only write with blue pens because of better contrast and because at some tests here they are mandatory so I always have blue ones with me and don't have to freak out if I don't.

Anyway, your post reminded me of a friend's facebook status, which was:

\"Lost your pen=no pen
No pen=no notes
Nonotes=no study
No study=Fail
Fail=no diploma
No diploma=no work
no work=no money
no money=no food
no food=you get skinny
you get skinny=then you get ugly
Ugly=no love
no love=no marriage
no marriage=no children
no children= alone
alone=depression
depression=sickness
sickness=death

Lesson: Don’t lose your pen, you will die.. \"

Naturally, in my opinion you can skip that part from ugly to sickness, becasue if you get abnormally thin, you get sick etc.

Haha.

We're not allowed blue pens in exams here - And I prefer black anyway, as blue is what we're used to in secondary and primary school, so black seems suddenly bold and easier to read.

Our exam papers are scanned into a huge computer and emailed off to examiners, so..Yeah. No pencil, no highlighters, no correction fluids, no gel-pens, no blue pens. Just black. For fear of the scanner not picking it up I guess.

The shop I usually buy dvds from is closing down so my husband and I bought a pile of them! Two seasons of Babylon 5, the last two seasons of Deadwood, season 3 of Big Bang Theory, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Army of Darkness and Avatar. At least I won't be complaining about having nothing to watch for awhile!

I also went for an eye exam today and confirmed my suspicions that I really need new glasses. So there's another heap of money gone . . .
