Pleasing none of the people, all of the time.
The Afghanistan shopping list.
$420.DSLR - Sony a230. Since I already have a point and click (that needs to be replaced), I decided to go ahead and pick a DSLR. Although I probably should have got a Nikon or a Canon, the Sony has really nice reviews and I’m satisfied so far. Ah now to buy lenses.- $620.Laptop - HP Pavilion dv6-2182nr. Met all my requirements and then some (can play SCII and hold all my music and do other shit fastly). Saved 40% off MSRP thanks to a coupon from those handy dandy deal a day sites. Since there weren’t many reviews on the laptop, I’ll probably write one up when I get around to it.
- $075.External hard drive - Western Digital Elements 1.5TB. Bless Newegg, not only was this super dirt-cheap, I chose standard shipping and received it the next day. 1.5TB… A lot of room for non-pornography and pornography alike.
$070+.Headphoneses- Klispch Image s4 & TBD. Having 200 or so gigs of music and something to play on, leaves one important and equally crucial part of the equation left. I have earbuds, which by the way are amazing. I would also like some over ear ones, which can either go from 30 to 300 dollars, praying for the former.- $200.Portable Game System – Nintendo DS Lite, Accessories & Games. I’m a young male, which one thing anyone can be certain of. Boys love their video games. Yes, I have hobbies, reading, writing, ect., but a mindless escape to a screen is always nice. Thank you most amazing woman that I miss dearly!
- $050.Sheets – Softees Heavyweight Modal Cotton Jersey Knit Sheet Set. You spend a third of your life comatose, may as well go all out. Normally I would get high thread count sheets, but I’ve developed an affinity for these. However I may get sad owning these, or smugly happy, I’m leaning towards the latter.
$090.Watch - Timex Ironman road trainer digital heart rate monitor. Need a good watch, that keeps track of HR. I figure if I plan on losing weight, I may as well take a scientific approach and help everyone else out.- $042.Knife – Gerber E_Z Out™ DPSF- Any clip folding knife will do. Thanks Uncle Sam!
- $051.Multitool – Gerber Multi-plier 600 – Worth their weight in silver, or maybe something between silver and gold. If you don’t own one, go get one now. Thanks (again) Uncle Sam!
- $120.Electric Razor - Braun Series-3 390CC - A self cleaning Braun will do – These things essentially pay for themselves. I hate shaving enough to pay money to not making it such a pain in the ass. Plus these things pay for them selves. Thanks Mom!
- $162.Random shit – Everything to keep a betta alive, various small electronics, and general resupplies.
