Plushie Cthulhu. Nuff said.

My girlfriend got me "Summertime Fun Cthulhu" for my birthday two years ago. It's a plushie, and hes wearing a hawaiian shirt and straw hat. He's still on my couch, and she's my fiancee now.

I once bought a device that plugs into a serial port on your computer and then allows you to control the brightness of lights in your house, or put them on a timer, or whatever. Never used it, but at least I got it for dirt cheap (it was a clearance model, the company was switching to USB).

I once signed up to get a free sample of acupuncture needles. I've actually used them to test traces on small electrical devices, but it was weird explaining to my roommate why we got a bunch of adds and catalogs for acupunture equipment for the rest of the year.

Other than that, I've been pretty good. There have been a couple of times I bid for thing on eBay that gave me immediate buyer's remorse, but I've luckily been outbid every time that's happened.

Well, my Spree arrived today. Ate half a roll and realized they weren't nearly as good as I remembered.

a dozen tubes of borealis and other shiny dice... and two bricks of yellow and green translucent dice.

they weren't really spur of the moment.. as i have been looking at them for weeks.. nay months. I just got into a pretty big arguement with my sig other and she forbade me to spend any more money... I guess I showed her.

I do it on eBay all the time. My latest was a refurbished XBox 360, $186 (US) with shipping. Also had the Lego SW@ game with it.

I am going to have fun with it , though. When we put up the Christmas tree up Thanksgiving weekend I am going to put the box, unwrapped, under the tree. Then watch my kids twitch until Christmas morning. I'll put the Halo 3 disk on top of the box, unwrapped, as well.

Yeah, my kids will be counting the weeks, days, hours, minutes, and probably even seconds, till Christmas this year.
