What's on your to-buy list?
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 05:29 PM by mvd
Besides necessities like food and clothing, I mean.

Today, I'm going to pre-order the new Aly & AJ CD (very good pop-rock - don't let the Disney label fool you,) the upcoming New Pornographers CD (definitely a classic band IMO,) the upcoming Amy Rigby CD, and the new CD from Tristan Prettyman. Also want these CDs: new one from Brad Paisley (has none of the overly sentimental stuff that bordered on sexism,) upcoming Brie Larson, new Nickel Creek, upcoming Dar Williams, latest Coldplay, Lalaine's upcoming CD, upcoming CDs from Patty Loveless and Trisha Yearwood, upcoming Megan McCauley, upcoming Gretchen Wilson, upcoming Hope Partlow, the Feist CD, new Raveonettes CD, upcoming Fiona Apple (probably,) and more. There's supposed to be an upcoming Nina Gordon CD, but no listing yet.

Also, I'm getting an exercise bike instead of a treadmill. I take small steps, and seemed awkward when I tried them in-store.

16. That thing looks SWEET!
When Greekspeak and I were in Rome in March, I was suprised to see many, many people riding scooters like that one! That is until I saw gas prices in Italy...$1.199 euros per liter! That's $4.80 a gallon! I almost had a heart attack when I computed THAT number!

I want one now too!

5. I don't have a to-buy list
I have enough trouble paying my bills. If I did have one, a house of my own would be the only thing on it - 44 years old and still renting. How pathetic is that?

6. No "to-buy" list here, either.
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 05:45 PM by mcscajun
I've had to scale back since I lost my job two years ago...offshored to India.

I've got the house...bought it when Clinton was President...it'll be all I can do just to KEEP it through the remaining Bush years.

Ugh.

12. I sympathize with both of you
I'm also looking for a job right now, or a business to start. I've been researching businesses that don't have $50,000 start-up costs, like Geeks On Call.

8. A couple of recently released DVDs and CDs
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 05:56 PM by EOO
Mainly the new Dave Chappelle DVD and the Brick Tamland version of The Office.

As for CDs, there's a bunch I want but I cant think of any right off the top of my head. Mainly finishing off my Frank Zappa collection.

10. 6 crowns, new brakes and a timing belt
also a refrigerator with a freezer that freezes Ice Cream.

Probably only 10 grand, slightly more than my annual disability income.
