I was at the Erased Tapes 5th Anniversary Tour at Hackney Empire yesterday, and picked up these items:
Codes in the Clouds - Paper Canyon
Nils Frahm - Erased Tapes

[swervedriver]

The Hunger Games trilogy (the books, not the movie)
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy trilogy box (all 5 books)
HDMI cable
Saints Row 3
Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries

Considering I've also paid for 3+ weeks of studio time... good thing payday is this week.

Saints Row 3

Oh my god yes. You are going to love the hell out of Saints Row: The Third; greatest open-world game ever created IMO, and one of the most fun games I've played in recent memory.

For me, I got:
Wintersun - Time I
My Dying Bride - Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium
Serious Sam 3: BFE - Digital Deluxe Edition
Doom 3: BFG Edition (a big mistake)
Gran Turismo 2

Some classics, some not-so-classics, and one destined-to-be-classic-once-the-other-half-of-it-releases classic. Not a bad week at all.

Mortal Kombat: The Komplete Edition (now I just have to cross my fingers and hope the Australian customs agents don't notice it's in my suitcase).

Also:
Michael Myers Halloween mask
Novelty shot glasses (Stewie Griffin and Batman)
Beavis and Butthead talking bobble-heads
T-Shirts:




And a penis-shaped toothbrush for my girlfriend (fresh breath guaranteed!)

Ah, Spencers Gifts, how I love thee.

the new XCom game
Dishonored
and a "ticket" for that Retinal CIrcus webcast thingie. I will complement that with some beers and bag of chips tomorrow. Yay 21st century.

Replaced my messenger style laptop bag with a new jansport backpack - solo much more comfy on the train ever day!

Prometheus, 4-disc Blu-Ray. A bit annoying that in order to get the special features disc, I have to buy the edition with a 3-D copy, which I won't be using, but oh well.

yeas

Ah-- the D7000. Quite like the model. Really want to upgrade to it from my D5000, if for nothing else then the dual wheels/card slots.

And in a few months (for Australia), the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 Looking at a 50mm f1.4, looks sexy as dicks. Can't wait to actually try filming with my 35mm f1.8 wide open

1) Still waiting for that a housing I bought for my phone in early September. After waiting around six weeks with nothing showing up, I reasoned it might have gotten lost on the way and messaged the Ebay seller. They said they could either give a refund or send another one. I chose the latter. I hope that one has better luck on its journey...

2) That "found-some-in-the-corner-of-the-warehouse" Coast 7'' - Bought it October 23rd, got a notification today telling that my order has been charged. Is CM Distro always like this?
I have no previous experience with that store, but I would have expected to be charged and my purchase shipped within a couple of days, not a week. Well, not that I'm busy or anything.

Yay - my Ziltoid came in the post

Boooo - both eyes are directed looking about 45 degrees upwards as if the person making him wasn't paying attention

Nah, Ziltoid is just a prick.

Ah, that'll be it then!

Finished my splurging (all over the floor) for a while, with finishing my halfsleeve tat, and this:



I am now a happy (materialistic) man.
