"highly suspicious"
so while i'm contemplating what indulgent purchase i should save up for first (i'm thinking the new camera; i still have to do more research on what kind of monitor i want, and the wii will take a bit of saving up for, and i haven't decided exactly which amp / fx processors i want), i decided to satisfy myself with small indulgences this week. that way i will save up the remaining money 'til next month, and then maybe i'll have a big chunk of cash free all at once.
so tonight i purchased my indulgences for the month; 2 new dvds (lost in translation, and shaun of the dead, both on sale), 4 new drawing pens ($3.19 each, yowzers), 2 new cds (my morning jacket's evil urges, and bonnie 'prince' billy's lie down in the light), and a big box of junior mints.
also, yesterday, i bought a couple of used books; john irving's the hotel new hampshire and robert heinlein's the cat who walks through walls. i look forward to reading those when i am done reading until i find you (which, incidentally is completely breaking my heart, and simultaneously making me want new tattoo work done; that is a whole other complicated story deserving of a post entirely unto itself, so more on that later).
re: bonnie 'prince' billy's new album; it's awesome, but then, i expected that.
re: my morning jacket's new album; wow! what an interesting tangent for them. jim james is no longer the only one singing! the rest of the band joins in on vocal duties in a lot of places throughout the album; very interesting. some very pretty compositions, very nice harmonies. the tones and grooves are still signature mmj. all around, a great offering from them, sure to make my best of 2008 list.
other fantabulous new music i've been enjoying lately: bon iver's for emma, forever ago. listen to it now, fools! you'll thank me. it's too pretty not to share.
