Shopping

Now that Christmas is over (and armed with Christmas money from Dad and my Step-Mother, and a big fat (in a relative, Social-worker sort of way) 14 hours of double-time for working Christmas Day paycheck), I’ve been doing some shopping online.

Ordered the 2 Rainmakers CD’s I was missing (there’s way more about this than anyone cares to see in my previous post), Mutineer; Warren Zevon, Welcome to the Club; Ian Hunter (an old fave, one of the 10 or 20 best live albums ever, IMHO; plus it has 2 bonus songs that aren’t on my LP!!), Songs From Take-Off to Landing; Garrison Starr (She’s a great singer-songwriter with a fantastic voice), Live From Chicago, Mr. Superharp Himself; James Cotton (also an old fave, replacing a well-used LP), and The Kinks, One For the Road (ditto the whole old fave replacement bit, and definitely on my Top 10 best live albums list).

Plus, two books! I found “The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left’s Assault on Our Culture and Values” by Tammy Bruce and “The Rants” by Dennis Miller, both in hardcover on “Amazon Marketplace” for under $15 total, with shipping, from seperate vendors! Now, before you get to thinking I’m sort of right-wing nut job, I’m not. I like to disseminate information from a wide variety of viewpoints and sources and form my own opinions. I’d like to think that I’m a free thinker, not bound by or defined by party-lines or overly simplistic/meaningless terms like “right”, “left”, “Democrat” or “Republican”. That’s all I’ll say about all of that (for now), I didn’t intend this to be a post about my political belief system.

Also, I’ve got this nifty little key-chain UV LED flashlight that needed batteries. Radio Shack has them (of course), but they want $3.19 for them, EACH! The light takes 3 batteries, and since I only paid about 4 or 5 bucks for it, that wasn’t happening. So, I got to poking around and found a package of 10 for $3, with shipping, on EBay!

I love the Internet!
