booty-licious

So what does one do when one is in constant pain and worrying, waiting for his next medical exam?  One shops, naturally.

My latest booty:

-  Blur 21 Boxset.  This thing is massive.  It has all seven of their studio albums, with a bonus disc attached to each.  Then there are four discs of rarities and unreleased tracks, and three dvds, and a hardbound book chronicling the history of Blur.  I wish every band/musician I like would do this (Madonna, talking to you), but then again, I would be broke really fast.

- 50/50, Hugo, Adventures of TinTin, and Inglourious Basterd used blu rays.  I got all of these used for around $8 each.  I haven't had chance to play them all, but they look to be in excellent condition.  I did rewatch 50/50.  Man I love that movie.  And I can relate to JGL being sick and going to hospitals and all, but of course, I don't have spinal cancer.  And I don't have a therapist like Anna Kendrick (who is so good in this).  My mother is kinda like Anjelica Huston, so I haven't told her about my issue yet.

- J. Crew classic plaque dress belt.  Had a 25% coupon with free shipping, so pulled the trigger on this belt I've been eyeing.  I needed a dress belt for those occasions when I have to get all dressed up in fancy clothes (which is actually like never, but when never comes I am totally ready).

- iPhone 5.  Preordered last Friday morning at around 5 Pacific time, which was already five hours too late cuz the wait time was already two weeks by then.  I am most looking forward to the better camera and voice navigation finally and of course, Siri (I have the 4 right now which does not have Siri capability).  First thing I am going to tell Siri to do is to either make my medical problem go away or tell me the winning lottery number.  I know winning lottery is not going to make my health better, but at least I don't have to cringe everytime a copayment statement comes (so far I've spent close to $1000 just for copayments alone).

- Buddhist sandalwood bead bracelet.  I don't know when I lost mine, but I felt I need another, so I got one off ebay for just $4.  It arrive quickly and actually is exactly what I was looking for.  I am happy with it and will wear it all the time from now on.

- Roku.  Got this to stream Amazon prime videos to my bedroom tv.  Works awesome, except then I end up watching like really crappy free movies from Amazon like Abduction (with Jacob), Bel Ami (with Edward), and Transformers Dark Side Of The Moon (oh my gawd this is crap of the highest order...). Can this thing stream porn by the way?

-  Fiona Apple Idler Wheel Tour Poster.  My friend Al went to three Fiona Apple shows recently and was able to score a couple of autographed Fiona Apple posters, and he was awesome enough to sell me one.  I love Fiona Apple - she is an artist through and through.  I will need to spend good money getting this framed, cuz The Idler Wheel Will Be Ruined When Not Protected Behind UV Protected Glass And Will Not Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do.
