I've just spent the last hour
reading my book and doing origami with one of our doctors kids. It's been MEGA. Yes, my computer is fucked AGAIN. Third time in as many weeks.

What's the last book/cd/dvd you bought? (That is either or all) Mine was Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis, Ornaments from The Silver Arcade by The Young Knives and I don't remember what dvd I bought last.
( Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Tue 28 Jun 2011, 15:18, archived)

Last book was Yes Man by Danny Wallace.
Last CD was Easily Tricked by Petter & The Pix, and the last DVD was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, though that was about 8 years ago due to OMGPIRACY.
