Love those old Archie's!  - Comic Shop?  Auction site?  - I can never seem to find any Archie books

I did grab another video game "Fallout 3" for the XBox 360.

I'm also looking around to see if I can find a HDMI-in converter for my Mac Pro.  I want to take my PS3 and XBox 360 HDMI signal and play it through the computer onto the Apple Cinema display.  This is much harder than I think it needs to be !  grrr!

The worst part is that I can't seem to find any resources on how to even start this search.  I *think* that some products from a company called Blackmagic might work, but there isn't a local reseller in the area.

I just recently closed up some gaps in my Archie regular series collection, got all of the 500's issues I was missing (was roughly around 50 books) and have a streak now from 166-590!

Recent buys:

I, Robot $9.99
August Rush $9.99
Crazy Taxi PS2 Game $15.00
Naxa MP3 Player $20.00
Utility (that's the brand) Sketchbook $7.99
Bombay Black India Ink (a substitute until I finally order Rapidograph's ink online) $3.59
A shirt (.............) $6.00

Fortunately, this wasn't all in one day or I would have been broke...

I bid on quite a few items at the "Fur Ball" which had a silent auction. I'm glad I was outbid on most of the things I'd bid on though!

Beyond that: New screen, etc. for the front door since I locked myself out and didn't have a garage door opener in the car I'd driven that day and usually use the garage door when leaving/coming home. >_<,

How's this for a Canadian blast from the past:

Picked it up last night

This weeks comics:
Betty & Veronica Spectacular #86
Archie Digest #249  - hey!  next issue is a "mini" milestone - 250.

As you probably can guess - I collect many other comics - so there are too many to list all the ones I bought this week, but there is one of note: Uncle Scrooge #382.  Always a great title, but this one has a great Magica De Spell back cover poster by Don Rosa.  It's worth at least taking a look at the back cover the next time you are in a comic shop ... if they even stock the title.  I have to "special" order it.

There's also another series I am really loving - The Spirit.  There's a history to the series that is pretty impressive - check out the Spirit Archives if you get a chance.  Anyone touching the character better bring their "A" game to it.  In this case, it seems everyone touching it is!  Very, very impressive run thus far!

I went to Gamestop twice today.

DVDs:

Optimus Prime Megatron: The Ultimate Battle - $1.50 plus tax
Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game Duel Masters Guide - $0.30 plus tax
$1.91 total

8th & Ocean: The Complete First Season - $1.95 plus tax
G.I. Joe: Valor vs Venom - $1.20 plus tax
$3.34 plus tax

I'm not sure what the Transformers disc is. Gamestop's sticker says "Transformers Armada: Best Battles", but the box has the G1 Transformers logo. An employee guessed that it was a toy pack-in DVD.

I've never heard of "8th & Ocean", but I thought I'd try it out for such a low price. It turns out to be an MTV series about models in Miami, recorded in the "fake documentary" style that they seem to like so much.

75% off sale + Gamestop card discount = Win!
