Books:

The Art of Deception Kevin Mitnick (the reason I went in the first place)
Basket Case Carl Hiaasen

Tao of Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee

CD's:

Best of Bowie David Bowie
The Best of Parliament: 20th Century Masters Parliament
Melody A.M. Royksöpp

DVD's:

Ghost World Daniel Clowes & Terry Zwigoff ("On Over 140 Top-Ten Lists")
The Ninth Configuration William Peter Blatty ("Endlessly quotable dialogue and an amazing barroom fight scene")

Please mercilessly tear away at

1. My apparent obsession with 'Best of' shit
2. My complete lack of rational spending control

You're getting love for "Whatever And Ever Amen". Got to the hidden track yet? Priceless...

I have respect for people who buy best of albums, so well done.

Ghost World is essential. I haven't heard of most of those books, so I can't judge.

Tom, you have great taste. I would damn you for buying the Ben Folds, but it's occasionally a guilty pleasure of mine. The Ghost World DVD is indeed essential, though I would have loved a commentary instead of that throwaway clip of Daniel Clowes drawing himself.

jel and Passantino in let-down shocker!

That's what I thought this was about.

― Anna (Anna), Sunday, 19 January 2003 22:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Ohhhhhhh. Well, this explains last night's chat.

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 20 January 2003 17:02 (twenty-three years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 20 January 2003 17:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I bought a shirt and a skirt last night. Total was around $75.
Big spending spree for me.
Been getting greedy buying things on the SIMS.
