Just grabbed a 37" TV for my bedroom from the wootoff going on today. I'm eventually going to be wiring my house with CAT6 (I have everything for it) and hooking up a WDLive box or something similar to it to pull stuff from my fileserver down in my office.

Nicotine free cartridges however... I'm sick of having to wait until it warms back up again to smoke my hookah so this is the next best thing to being able to smoke a hookah indoors (which I can't do). Plus, now I can take smoke breaks at work ^^

My son was playing a demo of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for the Xbox. I was in the other room when all of a sudden, I get a notification on my phone. Turns out I got an email, when I open it up, it's Xbox thanking me for my recent purchase of a Star Wars game for $19.99... as I finish reading that last part, I can hear Darth Varder on the TV as if he was laughing at me. Looks like I'll have to remove my credit card info until he can better understand the menus. Thanks Son! You could have at least bought a game I actually wanted, or maybe preordered MW3 or BF3 >.<

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1408101343
Writing Dialogue for Scripts: Effective dialogue for film, tv, radio and stage (Writing Handbooks)

It's a bit dry, and you have to kind of trudge through it and re-read a lot. I have learned some good things from it however, so I would say it's worth the price. It's worth noting that the author is also British, so the examples are very...well, British.

Clothes!
With winter coming I've bee holding off shopping for anything warm. I love to shop, but not at the same time so I dragged it out as long as I could, but we will have snow in just a few days T_T. So I got myself some new boots, winter coat, some jeans, and warm sweaters =D. I haven't spent this much money on myself in forever. I tend to not buy myself anything because saving is good for me =3

Book bargain sales at my university are dangerous, especially for a nerdy person like me who gets some kind of academic orgasms by studying social theory. I bought a collection of essays by Georg Simmel, Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble", Berger and Luckmann's "The Social Construction of Reality" and a generic book on social theory. And I already have books in line to be read... :ying:
