In which I brag about the cool shit I just got in the mail →[More:]
A Captains of Crush Trainer Gripper, which was a pretty good pick, consistent with my overall level of strength. I can do one set of five for each hand. The company has a whole bunch of more difficult ones to play with; they have numerical ratings from 1 all the way through 4. If you can close anything more difficult than #2, you are Da Man. If you can close #4, you are a mutant.

My goal is to close #3.

Two CDs

Boobs: Junkshop Glam Discotheque

Any album with the lyrics

Hey Baby Can You Float On Water?
You Move Like Garbo's Daughter

and a cover of "Little Bit of Soul" is a winner in my book.

Rough Trade Shops: Indiepop (playing now)

"Who's that boy who made you blue
Stacked those bruises all over you
We're gonna find him
And beat him up."

So what kind of cool shit have you gotten in the mail lately?

I have 9 graphic novels arriving on Monday. I don't think I'll go to work on Tuesday.

Bills. Oh, wait, those aren't cool, are they?

Issue 178 of The Duplex Planet, that Coil dvd made by BP, and some neat postcards. Oh, and the overpayment cheque from BC Medical.

I got the latest Lakeland catalogue the other day. It rocks. Yeah, I know, I should get out more.

Well, this wasn't today or yesterday, but it was recent.

I love how it says "slenderette" even though it's just about the largest size you can ever find from that era.

(I'm seeing this in that tattoo-print fabric)

Not today, but I recently got all of Buffy in the mail.

Work should send me a check pretty soon. That's always exciting. (The fact that I have to put half of it away for the taxman is less exciting.)

And...um...I just downloaded the Six Feet Under: Vol. 2 album from iTunes. That's pretty badass.
