Each and every day so far Roomba can be seen zooming around one floor or another. Since we have a three story house and 2 cats, he is very busy. It’s pretty funny watching my kitty stalk Roomba until it turns around and chases him away. I have been just dying to get one of those to torment my feline overlords! ---

I’d admired [these purple loafers](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7756492697&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) since last fall and finally found 'em for cheapish.

This Doctor Who Talking [TARDIS Money Bank](http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Content/Product/products1/128562_l.jpg). It’s probably not unusual to see in the UK, but I’ve never seen anything like this in Canada. I found it at a local shop that sells rare videos and toys. It’s the new Doctor Who, not the old one, but it’s the TARDIS! It set me back about $40 but I just had to have it. ---

Two tickets to the hockey playoff game on Saturday (Hurricanes vs. Sabres). The part that shows how bad I wanted these tickets was that I had to buy them through Ticketbastard and pay their **outrageous** service charges since I wasn’t going to be able to make it out to the box office before they closed this week. I’ve been known to skip other events if the only way I could purchase tickets was through them. ---

Nothing so far. I keep looking at big flat screen TVs. I don’t watch much TV, only when american football is on, but I keep wanting one anyway. So far I’ve talked myself out of it. ---

As a culmination of my recent obsession with model trains, I just ordered [this](http://zscalehobo.com/website/noch/88280_detail.html). It’s a 20th\* birthday present to myself. Now I don’t have to build one myself, which saves me a _lot_ of time. Really. - in hexidecimal ---

[A Sigma 10-20mm.](http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3301&navigator=6) Tasty digital wide-angle goodness. Theoretically, I couldn’t afford it but I was at a digital imaging show in Toronto last weekend and the 10% discount was too tempting to pass up. Still haven’t had time to play with it, though :(. ---

I recently bought a pair of [Dainese Speedmetal gloves](http://dainese.com/eng/articolo.asp?cat=1&nome=SPEED_METAL_Leather_Gloves&articolo=1815368). Rather expensive at 280 euros and not really needed since I already have several pairs of gloves. Next unnecessary amd expensive thing I want to buy is an Arai RX7 Corsair helmet. And Alpinestars boots with magnesium sliders! ---
