Stuff you could buy for me to help numb the pain of my daily existence
C'mon, people, this relationship has to go both ways. Think of all I do for you. Think of all the joy I bring to your lives. Isn't it about time you bought me something to show your appreciation?! Yes, I think it is. Fortunately for you, my six month Amazon boycott has just ended, so now I'm willing to accept gifts purchased there. Go ahead, take advantage of their lower prices and drive your local shops out of business. I don't care. I'm in it for me. Remember, you get free shipping if you spend $25. Go crazy!
I like music:
And books:
And sometimes even DVDs:
[NOTE: I would buy this stuff for myself except I just got a $334.69 electric/gas bill.]

Now you're just itchin' for a fight, aren't you? Let's take a quick look over at Wikipedia to see what he's had a hand in. Here are the films he directed (and my opinions of them):
Okay, maybe he is a hack, but Almost Famous is still one of my favorites. I also enjoyed reading Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
the only reason Say Anything wasn't complete crap was because of Peter Gabriel in the soundtrack.
I didn't know FTaRH was a book. FTaRH is not crap because it is about drugs and blowjobs. hilarious.
she did demonstrate a grand mastery of the banana arts.
I will probably buy it on amazon, does it count that Amazon is a local company?
I have no idea what you're referring to. Sounds kinda phallic, though.
A $334.69 electric/gas bill? Oh, I get it...you think setting the thermostat at 85 will keep the stalkers away. It probably works, too. Studies show that excessive heat is directly antagonistic to stalkiness. (Disclaimer: studies are completely made up.)
I sort of skipped around The God Delusion. It seemed pretty entertaining. Another good one is The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan.
The thing is I keep my house at 60 degrees in the day and 56 at night. People who wander into my home often tell me that those temperatures are very cold. I don't know what the fuck happened.
(Sorry about the language. My bill was twice as much as my previous record and it pisses me off. Now I have to beg for the stuff I'd usually just buy.)
The main reason I want The God Delusion is because it's got a shiny silver cover. I don't have any silver books.
Jeebus! That is cold!
Maybe they couldn't get to your meters and estimated the readings (i.e., made a ridiculous, wild-ass guess)? I hate that.
I called their customer service and that's exactly what happened. They've been estimating since last October, but they didn't do a very good job of it at all. Now I've got to make up the difference between their estimate and my actual usage on one bill.
They had to estimate a lot last winter, but they always came in well over my actual usage. I wonder what happened.
The She and Him album is pretty good. The new Black Keys album is AMAZING. I know you don't have it listed, but just wanted to throw in my two cents.
And that's my favorite version of Almost Famous, since it comes with the bootleg cut :)
I listened to a Black Keys promo a few years back and didn't think much of it. Give me a song title to check out off the new album and I'll give them another try.
Unfortunately, the bootleg cut of Almost Famous is out-of-print, so I'll have to keep my eye open in the used stores.
