I probably would have sold them on eBay.

I bought some new shoes for work, and some from home. The Bostonians were on Amazon for $50 each and 20% off if you signup for Amazon's shoe mailing list. Pretty good deal.

Can't find them locally anymore without a special order. Much cheaper and faster to order online. Apparently, I'm now in the minority of people who don't want shoes that look like they belong on the set of Star Trek.

What's it like in funny little brains? It must be so boring.
So today the boyfriend and I ran to Staples for some pens. We started perusing the clearance bins and found two pairs of Audio Technica ATH-CKS55 noise-cancelling headphones without any price tags on them. We grabbed them and took them to the register to see how much they were, expecting that they would be at least $30, since these headphones typically go for $70-$100.

They were $5. So we bought both, and now we each have a pair of awesome earphones and didn't spend more than $12. :aaa:

Got some Merrell Mix Master Tuff trail runners. They feel way better than my old runners. I don't know if these are actually super amazing or not, but they're light, and I actually got sized properly this time so no more blisters for me!



Also got a Cocoon Expedition sleeping bag liner (100% ripstop silk, they say) to hopefully add a couple of degrees to my down bag for when it gets really cold, but above all else to keep my down bag clean. The little red thing in the picture below is actually the stuff sack the liner comes in, which is sewn onto the liner itself. You're meant to be able to store a torch or mobile phone or something in it as a bit of a security pouch type thing. The whole thing only weighs a bit more than 100 g and folds up smaller than your hand as well, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Some of them are actually pretty tasty :shobon:

At least, we got them after Hurricane Katrina and some of them were tasty back then, like the chili mac one. Not sure if they still use those same meals now that it's 8 years later.

I ate a beef brisket kit for dinner tonight, just so i'd know what to expect...



The brisket was actually pretty good. Its similar to Dinty Moores beef stew. Tender and flavorful. But the portion was small.
The biscuit was bad though. Dry and not tasty at all.
Tootsie rolls and mint chicklets are as you'd expect.
The cheese and crackers are giant versions of the same Kraft cheese and crackers you had in your lunchbox as a kid.
The cookies are just like Keebler Sandies, except half as good.
The hot cocoa and powdered lemonade weren't sweet enough, but adding some sugar made them taste fine.



The kit does its job well. Giving you a shitload of calories you need, in an easy to prepare package, with decent tasting food.
The main issue is with how unhealthy the side items are.

Too early to say if its gonna give me diarrhea or constipation

Was looking for a shower clock, and came across the iShower. I tried it out for the first time this morning and it's just great. It syncs with up to 5 devices via bluetooth, the speaker is loud, the display bright. My iPad was up on the 2nd floor of the house and my shower in the basement and it worked great. Really easy setup, streams rdio or your music collection (and I'm sure plenty of other services), and really nice to be able to skip tracks and stuff.


Should have read the amazon reviews mate. Apparently it will survive for the 90 day warranty, but will fail soon thereafter.

I bought them locally so I could try them on, but these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever bought. I'm doing a hell of a lot of walking these days so I figured I'd finally get the right tool for the job.



It's been years since I owned anything even partially made of proper leather so now I need to learn how to take care of them properly.

I bought from a seller on eBay who had a good price and ridiculous shipping for such a box. I don't think I'll see another deal like that; shipping is a costly issue sometimes for me because I live in Israel, especially for big items.
