    A tray of giant Medjool dates. These bad boys are expensive (£2.50 for a tray of 9) but you'll not taste a nicer date!

    One of those blow dryers with the brush attached.
    Amazon said it was out of stock until october so i preordered it. Said it would arrive october 7.
    .....it came yesterday (day after i ordered it).
    Box was dented and torn. Blow dryer was the wrong color i ordered (ordered standard black but got hot pink).

    Oh well.

    It works wonders!

    Go on, I give in. What did you think it was? I’m honestly not seeing anything other than a flask.

    Holy &^#!. I thought he was joking about poking around in the brain thing. Apparently it's actually a thing!

    One of these. It's got a much bigger face than I would have liked, but it's only 9mm thick so it has that going for it. I could get smaller if I went analogue, but I was set on digital, so my options in that respect were much less.

    From Amazon recently, I ordered...

    Blu-ray copy of Underdog (2007)
    Assorted 12-pack of Rock Star Energy Drinks
    A cheap region-Free Blu-ray Player -- I needed an alternate player for a disc that skipped in a player I got back in April, but played fine on a player I was using before that (that player was definitely having problems)

    This set of aquascaping tools for my new hobby.

    Also, just back from a shopping hunt for new tanks/vessels and picked up two new additions. These will both be palundariums with a vertical rocky landscapes in one corner, then half filled with water. This gives you two forms of life - aquatic life (not fish) below and land-based life above.

    Just right of center.
    Replaced a broken pair of Foster Grant non-prescription reading glasses with some from the dollar store. Big difference, big mistake. I think 'false economy' fits here.

    The final component to what I consider my dream studio setup arrived a day or so ago, being the Logitech G903 Lightspeed Mouse. I'm telling myself that the recharging mouse mat would be an absurd and pretentious purchase, yet the feeling of having power at my fingertips when writing really helps me sometimes. The keyboard I got a month back will likely seem stupid in price, should you look at only pictures online...But the way in which it is completely metal/rgb/wireless makes for some satisfactory typing. I always think buying a half measure where these things are concerned will lead me to regret later down the line. Plus, my damned cat bites cables.

    I have the G502 and it is so sweet. Logitech makes some nice stuff.

    I've got a G13 for my FPS shooters.

    and in searching for images I see that someone was trying to sell one, refurbished, on ebay for 400 bucks. Only cost a hundred new, maybe I should wipe the keyboard smegma off mine and put it up for sale :)

    Their build quality and reliability have always been something i've stuck with for peripherals, ever since their G500 mouse back when I used to play the original doom games multiplayer. Razer to me are just pretentious and flimsy.... Although I got their Nommo speakers just because of how damn unique they look. I broke my phone recently but it's been a long process buying/building this setup starting from a barebones Hades Canyon.

    I buy anything but technology second hand. Even things advertised as 'box opened' have failed on me repeatedly....Either of you looking forward to the Doom Eternal DLC? I was introduced to doom at the age of four so playing that game with the OG soundpack was emotional for me. I love ID Software.
