Hmm, looking at some other pink flamingo lawn items, apparently people who buy pink flamingo lawn ornaments also buy Confederate flags.

The new M83 album. Yay M83

Hee, I was literally JUST at that site, but if I posted all the things I want to order...well, I'd take up too much room here.

But I'm really considering this!

I ordered a digital timer earlier today.

Probably this. Boring.

I get amazon gift certificates from my credit card as well, and I'm due for another in a couple of weeks. Yay!

A donut cutter for my mom. And if anyone knows where to order dark brown cupcake paper baking cups, let me know.

Probably this, in lieu of seeing 21.

That flamingo with the seasonal costumes? My landlord's daughter got him one for his last birthday.

Next in line for me is an SD card and a copy of Kristin Lavransdatter.

I don’t usually buy from Amazon, but since I can’t seem to find either of these locally, Bezos gets the bucks.

That's a great book Brina. If I can get my copy back from the person i lent it to you're welcome to it.

I have a million things on my wishlist. I just ordered a copy of Mid Course Correction, by the dude who reinvented/retooled the green carpet business (FLOR).

Unaccustomed Earth.

Last week I bought this book (I have the original Saving Dinner. It is great), two lipsticks, and this soap.

Is it fabulous?

Wow, I did a book report of Kristin Lavransdottir in high school. Well, actually, I didn't really read through the last 100 pages (hey, it's over 900 pages!) and still got an A on the book report.

It could very well be the Devo action figure.

posted by Hellbient 08 April | 23:26

It will be either this. Or a couple of these.

That flamingo with the seasonal costumes? Sounds like Manneke Pis.

I was thinking about this. I heard they'll keep flamingos off my lawn.

This is waiting for 15 more bucks worth of buyable stuff so I can get free shipping.

Also some boring computer hardware (really boring, like hard disks and ram)

The Amazon Filler Item Finder is a nice tool for locating items at small prices to reach the free shipping level.

I just bought Nudge at Amazon (along with a headset for my phone). I would like to buy Once Upon a Time and Twice Upon a Time (the Banshees video collections) on DVD, but they don't seem to exist. Ah well.

With interchangeable heads! My god, Hellbient, how could you resist?!?

posted by elizard 09 April | 11:36

thanks for the offer, chewy, but i eat books. what i mean is, the moment they fall into my hands the spines break and the pages get food stains on them, and the entire tome occasionally falls into the bathtub. no one -- no one -- should ever loan me a book. :)
