Car boot sale hauls, FTW
Okay, so, yesterday, me and Euan went to a car boot sale. I was expecting to go there and only pick up a few items, but I was amazed at the sheer amounts of stuff we managed to get.
Amongst other things, I bought:
- two DVDs (Dog Soldiers and The Descent)
- four CDs (a single, an album, a double-CD compilation album, and a triple-CD compilation album)
- three PSX games (two of which were the first and third Crash Bandicoot games, so now I don't have to keep borrowing Alice's copies - if these ones actually work, that is)
- Six books (five of which were Stephen King books - Needful Things, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, The Regulators, Skeleton Crew and The Tommyknockers)
- a couple of clocks with Chinese designs on them
- a couple of Oriental-style wall scroll-type things
- a small box of incense
- a Chinese stamp in a nice red box
- a Faith Lehane action figure (no packaging, but in pretty damn good condition)
- a Beanie Baby bear (dark blue with a little Union Jack necktie, with the label name of Pops)
- a small red "Tokyo" top
and, ooh, a few more things.
Euan bought a load of stuff, too, including a couple of games consoles (an old school PlayStation and another Mega Drive), an arseload of games, some cat-related framed pictures, a 1970s book about kittens, a wooden cat ornament, a glass chess/draughts set, a wooden painted ornamental lizard, a leather/suede jacket, and loads more.
I certainly wasn't anticipating the cold, though. True, it was windy and cloudy outside with a chance of rain, but I thought it was going to be really muggy, so I only wore a strappy top and three-quarter length trousers. Boy, was I wrong. I was freezing for ages.
Later, Sheldon picked us up, and he came back to our house for a bit. We sat down and watched the Dog Soldiers DVD I bought, and wow, what an awesome film. I love it. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was as funny as it was, really - it's loaded with some brilliant black humour and some truly great lines, and was really fucking tense in places. (Seriously, how can you not love a movie which features lines such as "I hope I give you the shits" from a character about to be eaten by werewolves? XD)
In other news, this icon is sexy.
