I'm awake because I've been eating leftover Pizza Hut all day.
Margs and I got up early this morning to hit up an unusually large amount of late September garage sales so that I could buy myself some birthday gifts. And buy myself gifts did I.
Here is the list of treasures I got for under twenty bucks:
1991-1992 NBA Hoops basketball cards. Complete Sets 1&2 in a commemorative tin.
A Dominique Wilkins plastic figurine and two cards (still in package).
A Chicago Bears/Miller Lite glass just in time for football season.
...Also just in time to smash over Rex Grossman's head.
Multiple books including Animals, Letters From a Nut, some book about pranking telemarketers, a book about how rock 'n' roll is evil and only about sex and drugs and that God will hate you if you rock. Also a weird book full of mathematical equations and tables and charts which I plan on using to speed through my Econ506 homework.
A standard paper grocery bag full of goodies from a church rummage sale.
I bought two records from the shadiest people on Earth. Elvis Costello and the Attractions "Armed Forces" and the original Star Wars double album with all its inserts and poster in mint condition.
And finally, my favorite piece, a two by three foot, full-color, cardboard poster of a little panda bear eatin' some grass.
Hollywood video also sold me 8 solid 4M movies for 20 bones.
