Bought a handcrafted keychain made from recycled circuit board, as a birthday gift for male inlaw who works in IT, similar to this one. He's very hard to shop. It's encased in a pendant form with resin coating. Concerned if he'll like it.

Second guessing myself because it was second choice. First choice was a pen. The pen is fantastic, but seemed more than appropriate to spend. Guess if not well received, it could be for spare keys. The artist also sells them as necklace pendants, and makes other jewelry pieces. Depending on the quality of this piece when it arrives, may return to buy something for the oldest for Christmas.

it's 4.5 cm in diameter and holds 240ml and it kept the tea hot. after a couple of hours still had to wait to drink it. heat escapes from the lid.

RIP sounds very final. Hope that that was for the bottle.

Wow, that's a slim thermos. Cool. (Or hot).

A 21-Back Snaggletooth and an ESB Luke Skywalker (Hoth), both probably C-7/8 and the Luke is unpunched.

Found a 6" Malcolm Reynolds to complete my Firefly 6" collection.

A bunch of exclusive Funko Pops! for my Son and I at stores in Louisville, KY I don't have in Virginia.

A White Castle Veggie Slider, which was pretty good. Hadn't eaten there since going meatless.

Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Used the money I got back from the bank after Darrent ripped me the fuck off. Got my half a grand  back and spent almost all of it , on more new glassware plus reagents. Got £20 odd in change from the shopping, and have several hundred quid worth of both lab glass and reagents coming.

NOBODY fucks with Lestat, nobody the fuck will rip me off, and damned if anyone's kicking me while I'm down. Someoe does, I WILL rise, and I will become stronger, and god the fuck dammit, hurt my lab and watch it grow a hundredfold more than anything some fucking cunt does to it.

Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
