“So this one is sort of going to land me in trouble with DHS. I'm basically building an electronic firing control box for fourth of July fireworks! I needed some speaker terminals to clip the e-matches into (that spark the fireworks), a piece of Lexan to attach the project to, and a "suitcase" to transport the final assembly - something that locks so when I'm setting up I don't have to worry about the kids messing with it. The guy @ Radio Shack already thinks I'm Al Qaeda because I bought so many firing buttons - I told him if I was a terrorist I'd only need one. Maybe I should have kept that to myself :P Anyhow, wife says I should put on my show to the 1812 overture. The entire show is going to last about 90 seconds though because, except for fountains, all the good fireworks are illegal in Virginia. I'm so pathetic.”
“bought some cinderblocks for my bed. ”
“I was looking for an ugly flowerpot to break for a short film. I found a flowerpot, but it wasn't very ugly. Actually, it really grew on me. Enough so I didn't want to break it, so I broke another one, which was both comforting (because I didn't have to break my new cute pot) and stress-relieving (because this semester in school sucks a big one).”
“i think so random stuff for the house. I am tired of spending money at Home Creepo.”
“Stock and Pansies for the front flower bed. Along with two Roma tomato plants. It is looking very pretty right now, and smells like Heaven on earth!”
“paint to make cheap Ikea furniture look less cheap :)”
“A ton of sand. Well, not literally a "ton" as in 2,000lbs; more like 8 bags @ 50lbs each so 400lbs of sand. Add flagstone, lots of sand, and some manual labor and hopefully you get a flagstone patio/entrance.”
“bought some bamboo - more cinder blocks AND entered myself in a drawing for a BBQ!!! awesome.”
“You'll NEVER guess what I'm working on NOW. What? Oh yeah fine, yes it's still the front porch.”
“Was really pleased that they let me in after hours to buy some things I needed to fix my sprinklers.”
“I finally bought shelves (I've lived here like two months). It was freezing and I couldn't catch a cab so I stole a cart and pushed the shelves home. I live close though, and don't worry, I brought it back. My room looks nice too ;-)”
“I just moved (KEEP BED-STUY BEAUTIFUL) and had to get wood for shelves! My room is going to be beautiful”
“Drain opener, house is so old.”
“Keys for the new house. Didnt get the princess keys. probably 2nd biggest regret. number 1? not asking out peggy sue for homecoming. argh”
“baby gate so Zev doesn't superman down the stairs...”
“Porch is getting madd CRAZY serious by now. Crazy super-serious. Expect more porch installments in the near future. ”
“Bought a plastic garbage can, so I can recycle my existing plastic.”
