Title: Cool stuff you recently bought
Post by: Sparkle Ninja on April 30, 2014, 12:18:58 AM
I'll go first. I just ordered a The Little a Mermaid bikini online and I can't wait for it to get here. I got one as a gift after all the surgery and stuff but I outgrew it a couple years ago. Ariel is the best Disney person. My husband thinks it's Aurora. (he's wrong)

Over this semester, I've acquired several instrument stands, an Ohana Tenor Ukulele (which now has Aquila Low-G NylGut strings), as well a a Kala S.U.B.U-Bass.  Basically, it's a solid-body bass guitar with the fender horn body, but it's the length of a Baritone Ukulele.  Awesome sound through an amp and a blast to play.

What can I say?  I like Ukuleles.

My coolest descent purchase is coil overs for my whip and I built my first computer (I never realized how addicting a computer can be). My next is going to be a riding suit so I can track my motorcycle, my hobbies are too expensive.

I built the majority of my computer from cannibalised parts from other computers. How'd yours turn out?

I'm happy with how mine turned out. I'm running elder scrolls online at ultra graphics without over locking anything so I consider it a success. I need a better power supply and a CPU cooled next, but they're working for now. May as well put it I'm a better case while I'm at it. It never stops.

A sweet Dead Space case for my phone. Cost me $40 for a case that doesn't do much to protect my phone, but I'm 100% pleased with my purchase. It's pretty nifty.

Recently my sister and I went halvsies on a present for our dad's 60th birthday, and a present for mother's day. We got our dad a 160GB ipod classic 7th gen, which we knew he wanted. He loves it! We got our mom a silk robe that she can wear at nighttime, or in the morning when she wakes up and gets coffee. She works a graveyard shift at Amazon and has odd sleep schedules, so she really values her sleep time! I know she'll love it.

In other news I got myself some sunglasses that didn't last a week because they were crushed by my ass today when I sat on them.

Truth. I had to take a pretty big loss when trading some stuff to my lgs. I can't remember everything I was getting, but I know a {Kor Haven} was involved.
