<br>I love See's . . . got a big box of "Nuts & Chews" myself. But as a PNW girl I must ask how the "Toffee-ettes" compare to Tacoma's own Almond Roca?

Something about the butteriness of the Sees...mmmmm.

I think it's McStomachache regardless of what fancy name you give it!

The new Bladerunnder 4-DVD set...very happily it includes the original theatrical version with Harrison Ford's voiceover!

Hoping to spend some Christmas money on a record excursion later this week...my mission is to find New Musik's "A to B" on vinyl, along with the new Bunnymen and Prefab Sprout import compilations.

<br>I got nothing NW-y, but I did get some spending money so I could splurge on some CDs/vinyl. I plan on going to Hogwild Records (this awesome local store with a great selection of stuff) to spend me some bucks. Otherwise I got pants, underwear, a silver necklace, a little stuffed reindeer (I love little stuffed animals), a small bottle of hand lotion, a gift certificate to the movies, and a tin full of cookies.

Ooh, another thing I want to spend some of my money on is George Gimarc's complete [i]Punk Diaries[/i]. I've seen it on the shelves at Borders and have snuck cursory looks into it about once a week for the past year or so, so I'll be able to finally purchase the book.

You will love the book. It's a great reference book.

I've been slogging my way through these late at night. By my count, there's no less than about 8 hours of bonus, deleted, alternate, and documentary footage on these disks. Disc 4, especially the deleted scenes, is just mind-boggling. One of the highlights though is Disc 5, the Workprint version with it's own mini-documentary. It's really something a diehard fan should get, but I guess it's only available in HDDVD or Blu-Ray - thank god Warners hasn't chosen camps in that format debacle.

Astoundingly, a good friend of mine sent me two analog synthesizer modules. How fortunate I am!

Yes! Get it, get it, get it!
It was originally released as separate volumes, Punk Rock Diary and Post-Punk Diary. I have both of those too. It has now been merged into Punk Diary.
I have a blog and it has been the primary source for release dates referenced on my site. Note: the release dates are not 100% accurate but they're close.
One more time...Get it! You will not be disappointed!

Rock! I will definitely devote some time tomorrow to dropping by Borders and picking me up that book. I know it has several entries mentioning the Scars, which totally rules, but I still need to check for other favorite bands of mine. Thanks for the book props!

I promise...you will not be disappointed.
FYI - Scars are mentioned on 11 different pages

I got the U2 [i]Joshua Tree[/i] deluxe edition (2 CD, 1 DVD, book, prints), the new Stephen Colbert book, the new Nick Hornby book, plus gift cards to Ticketmaster, Amazon, Record Den (amazing store in Mentor, OH - I had to use it while I was there since I now live in NYC), and "MasterCard gift cards" that work like credit cards anywhere. I've already spent of music and movies, including the Bram Tchaikovsky reissue, the new Interpol live EP, the import best of Voice Of The Beehive, the import Psychedelic Furs [i]Midnight To Midnight[/i] reissue, etc....

Wow Retro! That's awesome! Congrats, it's beautiful. I am going to ask Santa for a new one of those in a couple of years.

Mr. BMG and I bought a great big ol' flat screen, lcd tv for our Christmas present. Movies and HD channels look great on it, but regular tv channels tend to blur and pixelate at times.
