Well, nothing, really.
But now it's going to be thrift stores, because apparently it is a requirement when in possession of a thrift store operating license to have a 50% off sale on Memorial Day. I took advantage of that. I got a sweet shirt featuring the Cleveland Browns logo... which I feel should somewhat betray my loyalty to the Vikings, but I guess I'm supporting a town that has terrible sports luck like we do. So... uh, solidarity and all that stuff. Also, the logo is this:
One, it's a football elf. This is inherently great. (I thought it was a leprechaun or a dwarf or something, which would have still been cool... but elves are better in this case.)
Two, nobody would recognize it as a Cleveland Browns logo. Except people who are knowledgeable in the ways of sports logos. Like me. I knew this was a Browns logo.
I also got some other things too. Somewhat surprising is that I didn't get any records, which is some remarkable restraint on my part. (Really, they didn't have any decent ones, but still... remarkable restraint.)
Listen, I have been buying a lot of records recently. The problem is that I haven't listened to a single one of them. I haven't even brought them downstairs and put them where all my records are.
I'm going to go ahead and list them all here.
Bob Dylan--Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (bought because it has some songs I've never heard)
Bob Dylan--Highway 61 Revisited (marks on the cover and scratched on the record... but still for a dollar or two...)
Bob Dylan--John Wesley Harding
Stevie Wonder--Talking Book
The Association--Greatest Hits! (50 cents, plus it has this song:
Parentheses.)
Jethro Tull--Songs From The Wood (50 cents!)
Jethro Tull--Thick As A Brick (Not 50 cents! But worth it for the package alone!)
Sly And The Family Stone--There's A Riot Goin' On
The Rascals--Greatest Hits (I've never heard of these guys, but the album cover looks kind of cool and it was 50 cents, so... also it has Ann Hathaway's name written on the front cover. It's one "e" from being a collector's item of some sort. I could have been a 3-dollar-aire.)
Blood, Sweat and Tears--ostensibly s/t (it has Spinning Wheel on it)
Pink Floyd--Meddle (one dollar...kind of scratched, but I'll probably never listen to it anyway.)
CCR--Cosmo's Factory
Genesis--Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
Boston--s/t (did you know that the spaceship on the cover is shaped like a guitar? I did not. I'm assuming everyone did. I feel kind of stupid now.)
Duran Duran--Rio (hell yeah!)
And that's it. I think.
These were all accumulated over a period of maybe three weeks. And I trying to figure if I should feel bad if I don't use them or not. Because, really... I'm buying them just as much for the collection aspect of it, having that material thing in my hand to show off if I wanted to. But then again... maybe I should listen to them at least once or something.
Actually, I shouldn't feel too guilty. I did the math and I spent about $30 on 15 records.
Now I feel super resourceful for getting all this s*** for so little.
I have no clue why I'm sharing this all with you guys.
