Early Christmas Gift To Myself

I bought an early Christmas gift for myself. This is the third guitar I bought this year.

It’s PRS SE Santana ($725). If this was a made-in USA model, it would be about $4000.00 (? not sure). They are for rich people. I’m happy with the imported version. Imported versions are not bad at all. I tuned the guitar the whole step down (D tune) to play Motley Crue songs. Motley Crue is the only 80s Rock band who tuned their guitar in D tune (on every song). Metallica recorded one song in D tune.

I play stuff from the ’70s & 80s (& some early 90s) – that’s when the guitar was glorious.

This is the cheapest guitar I own, and it will stay at my work.

I went to Costco yesterday (Sat) for gas and a slice of pizza.

I went back to Costco the next day (Sunday) and bought a Kenneth Cole jacket and looked at Christmas items. When I look at Christmas items, I don’t look for shop. I look to enjoy – like I am at an amusement park.

Gift Basket:

I found some girly gift baskets by Burt’s Bees. A gift basket like this can come in handy. I may run out of time to buy Christmas gift, or maybe I would forget a birthday. Then I’ll just whip out this gift basket. Girls like this kind of stuff. If you are a guy, you should get one just in case.

Brie Cheese:

This was a third brie cheese I bought this month. I tried both Kirkland Signature and Alouette. Kirkland Signature imports Brie cheese from Normandy, France. Alouette cheese says they were made from an authentic recipe. 

To me, Kirkland Signature Brie cheese is more enjoyable.

 

Breaking Bad Marathon

I never watched a single episode of Breaking Bad before.

Then there was a hype about the show coming to an end. They said Breaking Bad was perhaps the greatest TV show in history.

Then AMC aired Breaking Bad marathon, starting with the pilot episode – entire 60+ episodes. The marathon started on Thursday. So, I programmed my DVR to record everything.

I watched the entire series in 5 days.

I agree. Breaking bad is perhaps the greatest TV show in history. I am glad I didn’t miss out on Breaking Bad. I am also glad that I watched them in 5 days rather than following the show for 5 years.

Ellen Tracy Hospitality Bath Towels (6 pack):

I bought 12 hotel/motel-quality bath towels. These towels are thinner than normal luxury bath towels. But, they are pretty soft and decent. Just like the name says, they are hospitality towels.  They are perfect for one-time use for guests. For example, if I have few guests staying at my house for a few days and take showers and such, I can offer them fresh towels every day.

*I washed the towels before us. They produced a huge lint ball size of a medium-size watermelon.
