I don't know what the hell I did

Didn't get anything spectacular in Quincy today. I did however catch a break when the cashier got frustrated on the ring up and rang in 84 cents total and let it stick.

Got another decanter, this one a 1966 JW Dant's Americana Collection Boston Tea Party:


I also got a nice scotch glass ( even though I hate scotch). Not worth the effort to put a pic up.

Tomorrow I head into town to brave the heat and humidity. Hopefully it will pay off.

I got stiffed on a coffee maker that didn't work

Made a quick trip into the quincy store before work and got a copy of Chuck Klosterman's Sex, Drugs, And Cocoa Puffs. Many a person has told me to read this, and for 2 bucks I think I will:

You just want the box?

Did the usual Quincy run today. Got a 50-capacity DVD holder, believe it or not these things are hard to come by:


While looking in the boutique area I saw the box for Super Mario Bros. 3, I was pumped. Sadly Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt was in the box, BOOOOO! I asked for just the box anyways and they gave it to me at no charge and a weird look:


I also got a nice heavy Emmanuel College shot glass ( no picture).

Tomorrow is obviously an off day. Happy 4th!

I ain't goin to no fair to get shot and stabbed at

Went to 4 places today.

Quincy:
Nothing, nada, zero, zilch.

Harrison:
Got some glasses, I particularly like the Captain Morgan's stein and the Lite 1-liter glass Stein


Got a Luchow's Auf Der Alm stein in poor condition.
This is what it should look like:

This is what it currently looks like:

Poor thing. Paint faded, pewter lid gone, a few chips. People just don't take care of things. It's ok though, I am the savior for everyones unwanted items.

A Playstation controller:


Salvation Army (Hanover):
I rarely go here, its just away from everything else and there isn't many great finds. It's a good place for clothes and furniture, both of which I don't really need. They had a a stack of Cds today that looked like some emo kid donated. Saves the Day, The Movie Life, Poison the Well, Thrice, all those late 90s bands I despised ( expect for old Poison the Well, they were good). I did however break down and get a Keepsake CD, they were an good band I don't care what anyone says:


Brockton Amvets:
Some good finds, best stop of the day!

A horde of Genesis Games; The Lion King, Mortal Kombat, Eternal Champions, X-Men, Cool Spot and Ecco the Dolphin:


Blades of Steel for Nintendo, along with a controller:



A Playstation; which I wouldn't have gotten if not for the 2 dollar price tag:


This neat pile of skulls candle, it was just too awesome to pass up:


Every year Bailey's puts out a limited edition cream and sugar pourers. They usually fetch about 10 dollars a piece. Unfortunately this 1997 sugar bowl has a teeny chip on it:


This 1-liter glass Michelob stein will go good with the Lite one I got earlier in the day:


This is my second vintage Lacoste cardigan, these things are so comfortable:


And the find of the day:

A 1968 Mickey Mouse gum ball machine. They usually get around $20 for em.

This thing isn't working

My final stop of the week. I attempted to see if I could "borrow" a wi-fi connection through my DS so i would be saving myself quite a bit of money. Either buy a smart phone once my cellphone plan is up, or buy the Nintendo DS web browser for 30 dollars, its a no-brainer. Unfortunately no connection existed, and I'll be doling out some serious cash come January.Boo!
On the bright side it will be so much easier for me to look up prices of things, and it will keep me from buying overpriced crap.

Anyways...

Four nice pint glasses:


And a PS2 controller:


I'm done until Monday. Going to the Red Sox game on Sunday, so nothing that day.

They're all fakes!

The heat is unbearable. So I'll stick to Quincy for the rest of the week. Picked up a good pair of running/work shorts ( no pic).
Got this Simpsons mug:

Got a copy of probably the worst Sega Saturn game; Bug!:

and last but certainly not least I got these awesome chess pieces, the board I got on an earlier outing a while ago:

whatchu lookin for?

So today I decided I was gonna head out to this so-called best thrift store in Mass. Boomerangs in JP. Well its not the biggest, its a little pricey, but it definitely is one of the best. Some of the best wares I've ever seen. Everything is so organized, and the place has lots of character too. Its a five star store no doubt. I'll have to hit it up at least once a month. Didn't get anything spectacular there, got a couple of cd racks ( no picture). Got a beat up and ugly steamer trunk, it'll do its job of freeing up some space in my room:

I also got a few glasses, I especially like the old-school Harp Pint:

I did look at a few German steins in their boutique area but they were too rich for my blood, and too ordinary to warrant more than 10 dollars.

I actually went to Harrison ave before I went to boomerangs. Ahh the goodwill, where the service usually sucks, the place a total disorganized mess, the prices inconsistent, and the merchandise not even guaranteed to work. OK ok enough ranting.
Got another Dreamcast VMU:

Got Pink Floyd's The Wall 2-disc CD, missing the 2nd disc. BOO!

and a couple of Budweiser ( yuck) glasses:


Tomorrow I'm on a search for a comfortable pair of shorts for work. And a decision to go back to Harrison ave and get that 200 dollar Williams & Sonoma bread maker I foolishly didn't get. Would've gave it to my mom.
