A great many gadgets, tools and supplies related to my clay work which I really ought to go and DO something with, in order to justify having bought them in the first place.

A new keyboard

Several video games:

DS:
* Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

PC:
* Prototype
* Wolfenstein
* Left 4 Dead 2 (I bought it because someone found a way to bypass the censorship), if there's any aussiefags here who are interested to know, read this thread:
http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=836639
(Note: Your server options are severely limited when using this bypass, you must redo the alteration every time the game files are updated, also, achievements do not save, the link gives details.)
* Unreal Tournament 3
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Stuff for more bead making, or for the magnets?

I bought a memory foam mattress pad to pad my splint and a tiny coffee maker with a stainless steel pot to replace the one that broke.

Could be used for either, actually. I got a heat gun, which is handy when you use liquid clays or lacquers, and you want them to cure/set/dry quickly. Also a handheld rotary sander/buffing tool for pieces that are too big or the wrong shape to be tumbled. Just before Christmas I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to make more decos for the tree?" and I got a few packets of red, green and metallic clay. (Never ended up making those; maybe next year? :) ) And there's a 2-dollar shop close to where I live which is closing down, and everything is half-price, so I grabbed up a big pile of jump rings and clasps and other jewelry findings. Now, if I can just tear myself away from the computer for five minutes....  :laugh:

My cat only wanted to be on a litter-box if the ground outside was frozen or covered in snow, that's why I asked.
And salt has become so scarce here that people buy cat-litter to make their paths less slippery now.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

I have tried the kitty litter on the ice before it makes a mess. I buy 25 kilo bags of ice melt every two years

I bought a light green Billabong shirt yesterday for $10. There is a secondhand surfwear shop in the middle of town and it is awesome. :)

Condoms and strawberries.

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

This week's Angler's Mail, 50 grams of Golden Vaginia, three packets of normal size silver Rizlas and two packets of Cadbury's Mini Eggs (normally £1.09 per packet, but two reduced to £2.00 for two packets, resulting in a saving of 18p. Actually, re-reading that makes me wonder why I bothered. It's not as if I particularly like chocolate anyway. I could have saved £2.00 by just not buying them. Stupid brain).
