And on cereal boxes when you see milk being poured into the bowl, it's super, super white because it's actually glue.

BTW: I've been to that EXACT McDonald's that she was in, lol.

Woah :eek:

Makes sense though I suppose.

And yeah lol I was going to mention the Toronto thing :p:

All that stuff is done to make the food look more appetizing to the consumer so they'll be more enticed to buy the product. So what you see is definitely not what you get, lol.

Yeah, that McDonald's is at Dundas and Bathurst streets. Haven't been there in a couple of years though because I rarely go to McDonald's and I never have a reason to be in that area anyways.

Bad picture is bad. Still this is a fucking great jacket for the price ($23 plus $10 shipping). There is a tear in the inside lining but it's easily repairable.

I hate screen protectors, but then I heard about ones made of glass. Pretty smart idea. I had $28 in gift card money from doing surveys and from being involved with some kind of forum site, so I ended up paying $12.

This is my new awesome djembe case. I've had the djembe for a year now, but I never got around to getting a case for it. Now that I'm taking it on a plane, I kinda had to. Here's my djembe for anyone who cares.

Just under $200 with a strap, a ****-ton of picks, and a gig bag. Also, I am in love with it.

Was in the market for a decent little practice amp, and found this gem at a pawn shop. 5W at max power, but can be set to 1.5 or .5 watts. Plus, it's actually really fun to play with the onboard effects. I'll be investing in a nice tube amp eventually, but this one does everything I wanted it to do, and then some. It did, however, reiterate to me that upgrading my pick-ups wouldn't be the worst thing. They're a little muddled in the midrange.

Boring things, like a train ticket and water.

Sansa Stark 02-23-2013 11:25 AM

Got 200 dollars for a few foot pictures today so I bought myself Dominos and these babies

Just bought my daughter her first car a couple weeks ago.

I am now broke.

That was kind of you :)

Thanks. She really needed it. College and a job are hard to do without one. She's already got plans to pimp it out, but I'm pulling the reigns back a bit on that. She doesn't need tinted windows and dubs.

I know...

Dad stuff.

I can't believe this is 400 dollars worth of clothes but whatever

Burning Down 03-02-2013 11:55 AM

I bought a very short dress for a dance I'm going to in a couple of weeks. My dad does not approve which is great.

A stop gap set of headphones before I decide on the best pair I can get within my budget. I got these for £20 though as Superdry products are conceived and made around 10 minutes away from where I live and it was a friend discount.

Oh and I bought one of these too:

Need to get a Blu Ray player now though as the quality is so good my previously expensive DVD player doesn't hold up. Love the wi fi on the tv though! That stand looks so good in my front room though!

Money well spent I'd say.

bob. 03-26-2013 11:35 AM

thanks Pete! :)

in all honesty it was a major impulse (and slightly drunk :) ) purchase....but when i pulled it out of the box....i felt it was a great purchase

ThePhanastasio 03-26-2013 01:49 PM

Today was video game purchasing day. Got: La Noire, Bioshock, Katamari Forever and Bioshock Infinite.

Good haul, especially L.A Noire. That's a great game

Sorry for such a large picture, but goddamn this film deserves every prestigious film award out there. It should've been nominated for best picture, and won it. And Jaoquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman should've won best actor and supporting actor. **** the academies, this was the best film of 2012, not that Argo rubbish.

L.A. Noire has about cut-scened me to death already, but damn, that attention to detail in the characters and the body language/facial expressions is amazing. And I love a good game where you have to problem solve and deduce.
