The Sacred Heart of Jim Morrison
"The hubby and I fell hard for this the moment we saw him. We bought him from the artist, William Stidham, at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, TN. It's from William's Sacred Heart Collection. We just got him mounted last night, and had no idea how well the Lizard King would fit our living room. He looks perfect. I'll end this post with a quote from Jim: “I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.” "

Vacuum tube headphone amp
"I squandered my check on a headphone amplifier from Woo Audio. It has vacuum tubes! It's made in America, so I can feel patriotic when I use it to listen to my Swedish-made CD of pop songs from Thailand through my German-made headphones."

The Stars Aligned
"I bought a pair of turntables! It's something I've always wanted but could never justify spending the money on, but the stars really aligned for this purchase. I found out a friend of a friend was selling his and I got them for only $250! I spent the other $50 on various nefarious activities."

I hope to sell enough CDs and mp3s to buy a new television."

I did not Kill the Crocodile Hunter
"I did my part as an American citizen and stimulated the U.S. economy as best I could. My $600 went towards the purchase of an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray bass guitar. It looks great and sounds terrific! Now, if we can just get Economic Stimulus Package v2.0 going soon. I need a new amp..."

Aural Stimulus package
"I put my check into my savings account right away thinking I'd be smart with it. Then, today, put it back in checking and spent most of it. I have never even seen one of these things in person but they look awesome."
