Hey, how do you like the e2c buds? I've been considering them (and yes, that's a nice splurge).

Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me - great music
Trigger Happy TV - Series 2 - great comedy WITH great music

I just bought the Dreamfall soundtrack, and the novel Otherland by Tad Willams.

Excellent. Enjoy all 4 of them whnyou get the other 3.

I didn't order all four of them at once because I first want to see how I like the first one. My fan in Switzerland is very enthousiastic about Otherland. She recommended it wholeheartedly, and she should know my taste in literature by now, so I guess I'll like it.

I haven't owned a digital camera in years and I finally got one.

It's a Fujifilm FinePix F650. I know there are newer models but it's 6MP with a 3 inch LCD screen and 5X optical zoom all for only $99. I think I got a good deal.

And speaking of cameras, yesterday I ordered a Canon EOS 400D:

I have been saving money a long time for this, and FINALLY I can afford it!

Egads! Sucked it in and went for the big splurge... a new PC.

Lots of goodies in it, but the basics are as follows:

MSI K9N motherboard,
1GB of RAM
nVidia Geforce 8800 GTS 320 card

I installed Oblivion, which is now such a vast improvement over our older system that I feel as if we have to play the game all over again from the beginning because we cheated ourselves by playing it before with reduced graphical settings.

I have a big SLR (Nikon DSLR D200) with lots of lenses, but today finally replaced my previously stolen compact camera with a Nikon P5000. I also picked up the SB400 flash (the P5000 has a flash shoe). RAWK!

Just bought Funeral by Arcade Fire.
Got a free bookmark too!

I bought a copy of Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier from America the other day (it hasn't had a UK release, as far as I'm aware). Not really much of an expensive purchase, though.

I did buy an organ the other week, though...

A real, put-it-in-the-middle-of-the-room-and-sit-down-at-it-organ?

Spleen? Liver? Kidney? Eloborate.
I heard they have a good deal on hearts from Chinese 'detainees'.

Been so long since I could *afford* to splurge, I'd forgotten what it felt like...

But I recently bought the current four issues of the "The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born" comic series.

I don't ordinarily buy comics on account of my reading speed being far too quick, but... I like the art for these, and I love Peter David's style, so I couldn't resist.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I found the best gift for Mr J this weekend in a store where not yet established designers and other creative people get to display and sell their products.
A doormat with three words on it: mobile, keys, wallet.

I so hope it will help him in the morning. *D

That is so sweet! Or mean, whichever way you choose to look at it :D
In any case, it's a marvellous idea Jelena!

I just realized that I get my 'vacation money' this month. Any ideas of what to burn it on? It's about a month's salary, and I'm happy with what I earn :)

Thanks! He is very happy with it. :)

Well, after a weekend in wonderful Copenhagen and cosy Malmö I recommend those two places only a 30 minutes train ride apart. It's well worth a visit!

I just invested in the kit to brew my own beer. Hopefully the brew now sitting in the cupboard over my boiler won't decide to splurge unexpectedly itself. :D

Arguably this will save money in the long run though so it may not count as a splurge.

A pair of KSC-75 headphones.

I don't have time to go on vacation this year :( That's why I asked.

That's not a bad idea, I'll keep that in mind.
