So demanding! , alright I will though I'll be flying to Argentina on the 9th of May and will be staying for a month. I guess by the time I'll be back it'll be pretty much finished, minus the details obviously.

No, no, not good enough. @TB wants a daily update, with pictures and what not.

First the custom Converse, now these custom AF1's. Last pair of these I had was back in 1987.

I got one of these about 2 years ago from "Big Lots" on sale I think I paid 25 dollars (during fall) finally put it up this year. The flies love it. So far the frost still got some of the plants had it up for over a month. Had one like you bought years ago the wind got it as I didn't have it anchored.

Bought a DSLR camera finally. Was looking at a K-3, but figured it was too expensive for both my budget and level of experience. I'm only just starting out anyways.

Also got some clips that hold my headlamps in place because the left one broke today and the right one was already broke when I got the car.

With moving out, I now have to spend my money on more grown up items.

What Home isn’t complete without tea and toast.

Not my images.

Kendo edition?

 

[Casey]

Found this Polaroid yesterday for $15 and thought why not.

Spoiler

It looks like Max's second camera from Life is Strange so that's mostly why I bought it though.

Pulled the trigger on these in the hopes they arrive before a trip next week. Couldn't find any in person (in any colour) to try on, so hopefully don't have to return them...

Tagging @TB and @Azuremen — will report back on how they are!

A bunch of computer parts for my new build.

Parts that arrived today:

-Corsair H100 V2 AIO
-G.Skill Trident Z 3000mhz 16gb RAM kit
-A mounting bracket for a 2.5 SSD into a 3.5 port
-Corsair Carbide Spec 02 (blue LED) case
-A 1TB Seagate HDD
-Dell s2417dg gaming monitor

Still waiting on:

-Intel i5 8600k CPU
-ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E motherboard
-EVGA 750w Gold G2 Supernova
-EVGA Geforce GTX 1080ti SC2
-A kit of full-RGB LED magnetic strips.
-Crucial MX500 500gb SSD
-A PC tool kit with anti static wrist band
-A tube of Arctic Silver 5
-A single 120mm blue LED Corsair fan, just in case I need it.

I couldn't resist and plugged the new monitor to my current rig. I have to say, I like the looks of my ASUS vg248qe better. However! Even when both are 144hz, 3D (who even uses that?), 1 m/s gaming monitors, the Dell has in its favor being a 1440p monitor with G-Sync.

1440p looks so beautiful! But it's that G-Sync thing... now I know why people hype it so much. It is an absolute game-changer. Zero tearing, zero stutter, zero input lag. Just a blissful smoothness that I have never experience before.

I gotta say, I kind of feel buyers remorse for this whole new PC thing... My old PC is able to handle 1440p on heavy AAA games with a very comfortable average of 70fps.

Taskbar on the left side of the screen?

So about a month or two back, I went to a record sale that was happening in my city. Most of it was actual vinyl, which I don't really want, and most of the selection of CD's was for older groups I didn't really care for. However, I managed a fairly decent haul:

The only one I hadn't listened to ever in my life was REM, so it was a new experience.

Meteora and Californication.... Ah... that takes me back to the good-old days

Indeed. I actually *had* Meteora backed up onto my original Xbox but that came from a friend's copy instead. Should probably mention it was the limited edition version with the making of booklet and the various BTS stuff (and the website tools, which I doubt even apply anymore in this day and age)

(Translates to "[a] view to something spectacular".)
Tickets to a Bridge-walk, good thing I’m not afraid of heights.

Secondly and what I’m most excited about;

In case the picture doesn’t make sense, an A2 license (European spec for "middle sized motorcycle up to 35 kW"). I’m starting on it on June 4th. Hopefully once I get a bike I’ll be able to look somewhat as cool as @Carlos.
And no, that’s not a picture of my license, since I only have AM and B license currently, plus I’m not that old yet.

Nice If the laws are similar to the ones on Portugal, you can get the A category in just 2 years after that.

Will try this one. Been thinking about buying it for a while but yesterday I saw this beautiful edition by penguin classics and finally brought it home.
