The last thing you bought?

My brother gave me his Xbox, so I decided to buy these at target. I got pretty decent deals, too. I got MH World Iceborne for $19.99 and Metro Exodus for $9.99 at target.

What's even better is that I technically got 3 games, since that copy of Metro Exodus came with Metro 2033 for no extra cost.

I got a bonsai terrarium as a birthday gift for my cousin.

Cool! I wish I could go to Europe. Unfortunately, my family can't afford that trip. Even if they could, Europe has locked Americans out of the entire continent, pretty much.

It's not definite that I'll be able to go. The UK has reported a novel strain of Covid-19, which may lead to other countries imposing travel restrictions.

I had originally had this holiday (it's an organised trekking tour) booked for last September. To complicate matters, I had pledged not to fly but when the Foreign Office took France, Belgium and the Netherlands off the "safe travel" list that put all surface routes into continental Europe out of bounds, and I managed to transfer my booking to a later date. At the moment not all the train times have been confirmed, particularly for the last leg from Rome to Catania which involves the train being shunted onto a ferry across the Straits of Messina.

I purchased Sonic Forces for one of my friends on Steam because she said that she'd stream it if somebody bought it for her.

Right now, ammo and 80% lowers are pretty hot and selling out and fast. Prolly an American thing?

Sports bras and lamp crystals off ebay, love shopping ebay!

60 feet of doorbell wire. I made an antenna and a ground connection in my apartment for the old 1920s radio & now I can listen to the good stations farther away.

Homeschool Textbooks

Been there, done that. Try finding an alternative to the A Beka books. They're hot garbage.

(Edit: I remember a science book that spent most of its pages in strawman arguments for young-earth creationism. Home schooling is pretty neat but those A Beka things--I was ashamed that that's what we had to use. As bad as the high school history books that stood up for Francisco Franco.)

 

[Jorg]

A couple of books from Amazon:
- Failure is not an option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and beyond, Gene Kranz
- Ad Martem 12, Giulia Bassani

Also a couple of Metallica t-shirts and 3 polo shirts for work.

15 Comancho Scorpian cigars for $55. They normally sell for $10 a piece at the local smoke shop, I got them on an online special.
