This is what I do most of the time...

I've got nothing better to do, so I'm going to write about stuff that I've found at thrift stores recently:

-My main course of action is usually to look for bobbleheads, and I believe my collection is up to about 40 as of right now. It's actually getting to the point where I'm running out of room to put them, since in my current state of living in between places (i.e. home) I just keep them over the fireplace, which has limited space and is already occupied by other stuff. Anyway, some of the bobbleheads I've found as of late, in order from psuedo-coolness to weird:

-Yoda and Boba Fett for about $0.90 apiece.
-Charles Barkley
-Mr. T
-WCW former world champion DDP.
-Bill Murray-except in a baseball uniform, playing for some random team named the Loggers. I saw that apparently the Saints gave this out as a giveaway, so I can only assume that this team is fictional, since it'd be pretty weird to give out something that acts as merchandise for other teams...
-A SpongeBob "bobblepants"... which I suppose is fitting.
-A drop of blood dressed up in a Phoenix Coyotes hockey jersey.

-ALSO, I've been finding myself in the habit of rebuilding my N64 collection (for I think the third time) when I saw a copy of FZero-X in a store and didn't buy it and then regretted it ever since (cause, you know... that game is ace). Since then, I've gotten Paper Mario, Goldeneye, 1080 Snowboarding and Rush 2: Extreme Racing.

I loved the Paper Mario games, but I never played the original one for whatever reason. (Just finished it last night, actually) I don't know. It's not the most challenging or deepest game in the history of mankind, but it's fun to play and it has a wicked sense of humor.

-AND... I just reset up my record player after having it sit around for a few months, and thus I've been also accumulating albums while out looking for bobbleheads. And I've found a lot of cool stuff: Surrealistic Pillow, The Cars' s/t, Neil Young's After The Gold Rush, Allman Brothers' Eat A Peach.

Unfortunately, I was about 1 minute from getting a $2 copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, as I saw it on top of stack of records that some employee had on her cart of stuff to put out. The thing is, the carts have specific instructions that you are not to shop off the carts, so I didn't want to just grab the record and risk getting in trouble. So I sort of semi-followed the employee, waiting for her to finally take it off the cart (which would be fair game and all), pretending to look at other stuff while really just trying to keep my eye on the record.

BUT THEN, I saw that SpongeBob thing and was EVER SO SLIGHTLY distracted by it when some jerkoff swiped it off the cart! What the heck? And the employee was all "oh, whatever!" Dammit! I had that!

I guess it's not a big deal that some people don't follow proper etiquette and stuff, but still... you know.

Oh well.
