Nature's Way Feverfew Leaves , 180 Capsules
I use this as a preventative for my migraines. Not sure if it's working yet, I only just started quite recently.
The Hope Company 32TO12 1 Quart 100% Tung Oil
I bought this to protect the exterior of a new bee hive. It says it's for "interior only", but if it is truly 100% tung oil, I don't see why it shouldn't work outside as well.

African Black Body Wash 13 Ounces
I've never been a huge fan of body washes. They always seem too "girly" smelling, too runny, or just plain unnecessary.

I'm usually quite content just using a bit of shampoo or whatever is handy. It's all basically the same, you know?

But this stuff is awesome.

First, the fragrance is strong enough to stay with you for a little while but is far from being overpowering. The scent itself is hard to describe. It's a bit "tropical" but without the typical coconut scent.

Secondly, I just can't help but enjoy the way it looks.... The liquid is a bit thick, with a color somewhere between tar and mud... It almost feels like you're going to get more dirty just by putting it on. But once you mix in a bit more water, it lathers up wonderfully and washes away clean.

I highly recommend it.

Colorite Element ELCF34050 Contractor/Farm Lead Free, Kink Free 3/4-Inch...
I used this for a grey-water setup with my washing machine, when my drain field was starting to fail. Haven't quite gotten around to removing it yet, though, since the hippy detergent my girlfriend buys is made of rainbows and gumdrops (or something) and doesn't seem to be harming anything outside.

Zahrah the Windseeker
So good! I read this immediately after "The Shadow Speaker", so the pace seemed much slower at first and much of the stuff about Ginen had already been mentioned in the other book.

Pretty quickly, though, I found myself getting hooked. About halfway through and until the very end, I tried to pace myself and only read a chapter or two at a time, so it wouldn't end as quickly.

Since I've now finished this book, "The Shadow Speaker", and "Who Fears Death?", next up is "Akata Witch" and I'll be done! :)

Nnedi needs to hurry up and write some more books for me to read!
Eagle vs. Shark
There's something so great about two dorky people finding one another....
The Secret Life of Bees
I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I did.
The Taste of Tea
Weird, but good. Wonderful cast of characters.

Easy A
I hate it when movies take a character that's supposed to be a girl no one noticed, doesn't want to date, etc. and then a good-looking girl gets the role. Ah well. It was a bit cheesy, but what else would you expect?
It's Kind of a Funny Story
Romantic comedy... Not much more to say. It was cute.

Sucker Punch
I've heard this movie aptly described as a long music video. I have to agree. Decent visual effects and music. Attractive women. There's not much more I could ask for -- except maybe a better storyline.
FACTORY REFURBISHED BOX LG G2X 8GB BLACK UNLOCKED 10/10
Needed a replacement for my old MyTouch 3G. Running Gingerbread now and am happy with the new phone.
XFX HD687AZNFC
My original graphics card for the new system. The OpenCL support and stream processing capabilities were definitely attractive for the price range...

International Concepts SSDSA2CW080G3K5
Decent SSD for my system's OS and main apps. I have a much larger traditional drive I use for movies, music, etc. So far, no issues. Had good ratings for reliability, though, so I'm not too worried.

I can't claim that I *need* a second graphics card, but... I mean... why not, right? :)
