Gradually going broke...

[Spiff]

Yeah, so I went back to JB for the fourth time in less than a week, and bought more stuff. Sigh.

Spock's Beard, "V"
In Flames, "Lunar Strain - Subterranean"
Stratovarius, "Infinite"
KISS, "Double Platinum"

I also bought "The Bridge on the River Kwai" on DVD - awesome movie!

Hopefully this will be my last post of this variety for a while

PS: In Flames are deadset legends, it must be said. No idea if I have all of their albums yet (perhaps I should check) but I'm getting pretty darn close.

I know the feeling spiff, i once spent 380 dollars in one go at utopia, it was worth it as i got a lot of good cds, so it was ok, and i regularly spend about 100 or 200 dollars there every pay.
Its lucky i have no life and can afford it!

Kem: Alive 3 rules! Forever is SO good on that cd, so is heavens on fire! Oh hell, they are all good, what a great cd!

I spent $986.40 at Utopia on January 3, 1998 (I still have the receipt...)

Got 28 CD's and 5 videos.

The recent move into home buying has put the kybosh on any chance of repeating that effort in the near future.

I hope they gave you a discount for buying in bulk

I got a free Utopia backpack, long-sleeved shirt and cap, so it wasn't too bad....

I remember the good old days of walking into Virgin, HMV and Tower, newly paid in copious amounts of pounds sterling, and blowing a fortune on CD's and vids. Walking round to Picadilly Circus and spending hours on a Friday night, the city pounding outside, while I peruse the metal section in HMV.

I miss those days.

If it's any consolation Spiff, I went broke on March 13th 2000. Don't fear it. You get used to going without lunch, working overtime without special rates, and making do with one pair of shoes. Really.

I'm just going to stand over here and cry for a while. I promise I'll be quiet.
