Today's Purchases

A new week, a new line of credit to destroy.

I went to the mall today with the intention of picking up some cds I left behind at work and I ended up leaving with an exausted credit card.
Now, I have already declared myself a dvd and cd junkie, but I think I am taking it too far these days. I have full shelves and stacks and stacks of cds piling up on my floor, and my dvds are starting to slowly catch up with my cds.

While I realize that I have a problem, I am still quite happy with my purchases of the day.

1) CD: The Shins- Oh, Inverted World
I strongly believe that every single person should own a Shins cd.
If you can't bring yourself to buy a whole Shins cd (you creep!) then at least buy the Garden State soundtrack, which features 2 of their songs, along with many other fabulous tracks from various artists.

2) CD: Gavin DeGraw- Chariot
I know it sounds a bit queer, but I love this dude. Now, don't go thinking that I like the show One Tree Hill (even though it is the WB, which happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine). I only really watch One Tree Hill once in awhile for the theme song, I Don't Wanna Be. I really like it. If that destroys a bit of my music credibility, so be it. I'm hoping the rest of the cd will be just as nice and its a good cd to bring to work. Plus, I think he's hot.

3) DVD: Bad Santa (UNRATED)
Whatever. Billy Bob Thornton is a god and I would do the Coen brothers... at the same time. Best christmas movie ever. It is fuckin' hilarious. I have not seen the unrated version yet. I bet its even better. In conclusion- I like nasty movies with Billy Bob Thornton in it.

4) DVD: Back to the Future Trilogy
Well, let me begin by saying that anything with Michael J. Fox in it is an instant classic. I really love these movies. I've wanted it on dvd for awhile and now was the best time because I had a credit for a free dvd at my work. The only thing better than Back to the Future is Back to the Future for free. The only qualms I have with it is that because of this lame province I live in, the package is bilingual. Retour Vers Le Futur. My foot!

5) DVD: Pauly Shore is Dead
I haven't seen this yet but it looks like a masterpiece. It comes out officially in stores tommorrow but I stole it from work a day early. Supposedly Pauly Shore fakes his own death and they interview A-list celebrities and others to see their reactions. Too bad Pauly Shore was dead long before this stunt. There is an appearance by Hanson in it, which upped my interest level past its peak. Is it better to be a dead genius or a living idiot? That's what it asks on the back of the dvd. Wicked cool.

...
Oh... one more... this one is a little embarassing. Let's just say I bought it for my "mother".

6) DVD: Dead Poets Society
I like poetry and I like old dead men and I like it when Robin Williams tries to enlighten people. The End. There is nothing more to discuss about this purchase.

So thats all... Let's call this spending frenzy a celebration of me actually paying my credit card bill on time.

Gotta go.
My new Medicare card came in the mail. I hope my picture came out all right. I'mn going to go call to order a donate my organs sticker to put on the back and then I'm going to try to figure out my online banking once and for all.

tata loonies.
