My Strange Addiction

[BigV]

I can barely get out of Yankee Candle with my lunch intact.

The overpowering density of the atmosphere is practically unbearable. Taken one at a time, the candles are quite nice and I've had a few here before. Though, my inner cheap bastard strongly prefers to shop at the cheaper stores for cheaper candles.

I have a weakness for tools, hand tools mostly, but I love power tools too. Witness my recent repair of the hatch on my car. I consider them my "payment" for doing a job, I love it when I can justify getting another tool. I do like to get tools that can be used more than once, so specialized tools that are needed for *this job only*, while cool, are not usually appealing enough to purchase.

I own a lot of movies, but that has tapered off with the increased ability to stream them. Same with music. Craft materials tend to accumulate here, I can usually make something I need (I fixed SonofV's headphones today with a bracket I modified and a ring clamp. His Deadmau5 helmet/mask was put together with what we had here. McGuyver got nothin on me man).

My retail therapy experiences are on indefinite hold though, the economy don'tcha know?
