I bought this flashlight at Canadian Tire yesterday. It was like nine bucks. It’s the best flashlight the planet has ever seen. It touts itself as having the power of a million candles. It’s closer to the power of a million exploding suns, I think.

Also, I bought Bone: The Complete Cartoon Epic In One Volume. But not at Canadian Tire. I read most of Bone back in the day, but forgot just how good it was.

And to top all that off I have to go to work an hour early tonight. Which means about an hour from now. Just freakin’ fantastic…

I get spendcrazy when I work a lot. I’ve bought so many toys/comics/DVDs and such lately that I could have bought a goat for an African family and have had change. I know the prices. I honestly could have. I’m going to go eat so that I won’t feel so bad about that.

But then I look back upon it and I see I left my job with plenty of money and didn’t have any bills to pay or anything like that. I wasn’t unemployed. I was freakin’ retired.

I have this Halloween bucket with a cartoon Frankenstein’s monster on it that I keep on this desk here for loose change. I bought some of those little rolls for putting change in today and counted it mostly all up. I had about $150 sitting right there. Now most of that is going to go into my get a non-sucky computer fund. The little bit that isn’t? That’s going to be

Speaking of change, I was walking down Spring Garden Road today, so of course I got a guy bumming money from me. I gave change out of my pocket to him and continued walking. Then someone else asked for some, and I told him I gave it to that last guy. That happened three more times after that and each time I told them I gave it to the first guy. By far the best response was the bum who muttered, “Oh, I see how it is,” afterward. That amuses me.
