Check the Hauls

[Dak]

God I love a good pun. Anyway, I really don't like Christmas, but it's pretty hard to avoid the damn holiday and have kids without feeling like a monstrous ass. Anywho, the kids got a bunch of toys, too many of which need batteries and make noise, but at least there were plenty of Duplos in the mix. I got some money from a few relatives, which I used to buy some music, books, and games:

Foucault - Madness and Civilization
Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow
5 CDs including Leprosy and (Ob)servant
CoD Advanced Warfare
Steam Railroad Bundle
Some board gaming bits

My partner bought me tickets to see Electric Wizard in April.
My parents bought us both a gift card to a fancy restaurant in Chicago.

Huh. Like a great lakes Fred Meyers.

Its a superstore similar to it from what I can gather, but they're different companies altogether - interestingly enough the chairman of the company for quite some time was a guy named Fred Meijer.

-Beard trimmer

That's the passive-aggressive way of saying "get rid of the neckbeard bro".

 

[Master_Yoda77]

No, I asked for it. My old one was shitty as fuck. I try to keep my neck clear.

 

[Krow]

Neckbeards forever brah

 

[Einherjar86]

New jeans and slacks, which is great because I'm a lazy slob when it comes to laundry. Also got a new dress shirt and some really nice new shoes - classy but also casual. And a new raincoat.

The usual haul of new books, which I'll list in the reading thread.

Some nice stuff for my study: a paperweight w/ pen holder, made of petrified wood. Decorative stamp for sealing envelopes; you know, stuff we'll never use but that is still nice.

Finally, a copy of Floyd's new one, The Endless River.
