Dear Reader,
I like money. I like having money and spending it on things that make me happy and comfortable. I particularly like to spend money during Fall. Why Fall, you ask? It primarily has to do with the fact that September has been my “New Year” since I was five years old – the timing of the new school year in this country. The new school year meant a change in the season. New school supplies and new clothes were in order. New = spending money. Thus, Fall is my favorite time of year.
In this respect, I thought I’d share some material things that I’ve been eyeing for a while.
Versace Signature Fragrance for Women
As I type away, I am currently staring at the box that arrived yesterday which contains said perfume. It’s slightly creepy because Versace’s logo is the head of Medusa. Anyway, I bought the wonderfully fresh-scented perfume for mother in an attempt to purchase Christmas gifts early. She tried my bottle and liked it. But then I finished my bottle. And Christmas is still far away. Dilemma ensues.
LP-to-Digital Recording System
A couple of months ago, I was able to inherit a record player (and radio/CD/cassette combo if you will) from my uncle that was moving. This enabled my current addiction to buying records. All was great until I found out that the tech world has combined the technologies of yesterday and today to produce this awesome device that allows you to convert your LPs to mp3 files. Which is bananas. It’s a turntable that plays your vinyl AND has a USB port so that you can hook it up to your computer and use the program to convert the music. The price is relatively affordable with the cheaper ones at around $60. Here’s a nifty one by Ion:
SADE CONCERT TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!
Sade is one of those artists that can just decide to take a decade off from music and then come back, and STILL have her loyal fan base. Her most recent album came out last November, but I am forever a “Diamond Life” fan. In any case, they recently announced her WORLDWIDE TOUR in which the US leg will kick off in Baltimore, MD next year. She will be in Chicago at the United Center on August 5, 2011 but tickets go on sale to the public this Monday, October 18. Yes, that is how awesome Sade is – selling tickets to her show almost a year in advance. And considering her hiatus schedule, I am pretty sure this will be the only and last chance for our generation to see her really rock out (she is 51 years young). Hit me up if you want to join the fun. GO SADE!!!
The Cosby Show on DVD
I’m kind of bummed because this has been out for two years and I still haven’t bought it. They came out with a 25th anniversary special that has all 8 seasons on DVD in this cool collectors set at around $100. After reading reviews of the product however, it seems that there are some complaints with the actual packaging of the DVDs themselves. Purchasing the individual seasons may be better but pricier. Dilemma ensues. 
The Cosby Show is my absolute favorite television show in life – and I have watched a lot of television. It’s an all-around feel-good family show. And it’s still funny to watch – not like those other family shows that you loved watching as a kid, only to realize how painfully corny they actually were later in life (think “Family Matters,” “Full House”).
What are you dying to buy this season?
I absolutely LOVE The Cosby Show as well. I do have the DVD box set and I have NO COMPLAINTS. The show will never get old or out of style. Even though I have every episode, I still get excited when I see it on cable! Let me know if you would like to borrow.
