A bought a great box set and a book

    I am so happy, the CD box set I bought on ebay came today.  I bought No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion (pictured above) on ebay last week.  It's an awesome four CD set that I've wanted for like a year or more.  It's about $60 in the stores, I paid $15 (including shipping) on ebay and it's in really good condition.  I'm going to listen to it soon.  It has some amazing songs on it.  There are like three awesome CD box sets by these guys at Rhino Records.  The first is Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968 which has great songs from the psychedelic era of the 1960s, No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion which chronicles the beginning of punk, and Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground which has some awesome underground songs from the '80s.  I bought the last one last summer at the flea market for $10 (although sadly it's missing disc 4 ) and I just got No Thanks! on ebay, alls that's left is Nuggets.  I'll probably never buy that one though, it isn't as good as the other two. 
    I also just bought the book "The Will to the Whatevs: A Guide to Modern Life" by Eugene Mirman (pictured above).  I've wanted this book for a few months now, I didn't rush to buy it because I'm not a huge reader so I'll get it when I get it.  If you don't know who Eugene Mirman is then I recommend you crawl out from under the rock you live under and look up this amazing comedian online.  This book is a hilarious self-help book that he had been writing for a while, but the book just recently came out.  The book is 206 pages, so I might get through it by Christmas, haha.  I'm a very slow reader.  Mom had a coupon so I only paid like $6 for it Borders.  A few weeks ago me and ma were at Borders and I started reading this book called "Weird Stories, Bizarre Stories and Life's Oddities".  I shows mom and she looked at it and asked if I wanted her to buy it for me.  Just to let you know she had a coupon she needed to use, she doesn't normally just buy me stuff.  At first I said no but then I looked at the back of the book and saw it was only like $4, so I let her buy it.  So I've been reading that too, but that has a lot of pictures, so it's a faster read. 
    Over the past weekend we went to our first yard sale of the year.  If you don't know me well, I love yard sales and flea markets and such.  I've got some amazing deals on stuff.  I've also bought stuff and resold it for a good profit too.  I can be a good salesman.  There was only one yard sale over the weekend, but this weekend there'll be more and then there'll be pretty much more each week.  It's very exciting.  My mom said the Rietta Ranch flea market opens for the year this Sunday, she wants to go but I don't think we are going to.
