Someone thought the cosmetics might also be called Jobseekers Allowance.

what's up with you and casper? i mean, i loved casper when i was little but you've got a casper fetish or something. jk, but it's cool that you like something like that, something you'd think is for kids and all.

yeah, i dunno, he just kind of intrigues me somehow... i mean it's so weird, the ghost of a dead baby, it should be frightening and tasteless and disturbing, and yet somehow it's not, it's cute and reassuring and marketable... and visually he's so simple, his lines are so clean, his iconography's so pure... he's almost the perfect comic book character

[meepmeep]

awesome jim,
original pressing or a reissue?
either way im sure it would sound wonderful

[lord]

Purchases since last sunday: sunday I spent in the pub from 12 o clock, to see the Liverpool - Chelsea game, but also cos my housemate, his bird, and various randoms came in at 9am and woke me up, all messed up on pills, coke, and ket, so I thought, if you can't beat 'em... and joined in. So a few beers, and a curry in the evening, plus cans from the offy. Monday my bro came up and took me out, cheap night for me. Tues, few in the local and then a pizza. Weds, at home. In fact I have just realized I have only purchased beer or takeaway in the last week apart from: "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco, and tickets to Mogwai on 7th April. So never mind the rest of the days since then.

it *has* to be a reissue.
i luv my velvets.

[ballroomblitz]

an ounce of happiness

[fake concerns]

i bought a 20 oz coke (mmm caffeine) and
"Common Sense, Right of Man, and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine"

For some reason I always buy really difficult things and then never get around to finishing them because they're so difficult. Like with Either/Or for example. :darn: This one will be different. I just know it. :)

[Needs Wasabi]

Nothing today.

But yesterday I bought a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi. Interesting?...I think not.

[bellefleur]
