Nice. Pretty sure I can do it. There are people I know with less money and/or less free income that manage to do it, so I am sure I will be alright. Thanks!Quote:

That would probably be the Hunger Games Trilogy of books, they were fun... whilst they lasted. Too short by far for my tastes though I reckon that's just because my tastes have become GOT/WOT length books and therefore anything less than 900 pages just isn't going to last me long enough.
I'll sell you a pair of headphones for 12 bucksQuote:

Bought one of these:

I'm sorry HC, but if I was going to trade my drums for nudes (never going to happen by the way), your man tits aren't going to win out over Ms. Boobs actual tits.Quote:

The nice thing is that I don't NEED to sell any of it (and I'm not selling all of the cymbals) so I can wait for the right offer.Quote:

Off the cuff rough estimate Jiro, I'd say buying that kit, cymbals, and hardware brand new ran me about $8,000-9,000 more or less. Most of it was purchased when I was a University student working a co-op job that paid pretty well while living with my parents so I had absolutely no living expenses. That's not even counting the kit I had before this one and the electronic kit I sold to help fund the new one.
As far as upkeep, I'd usually change snare drum heads every couple of months or so and those were about $15-20. I'd change the heads on the entire kit maybe once every year or two because I was cheap. That'd run me about $150-200 depending on what heads I bought. Head prices have gone down a bit around here since then though. The dollar used to screw me a lot more.
Obviously it's quite doable to purchase a drumkit for a lot less than that. Not many people really need a 9 piece with four other snares and about 20 cymbals. I'm planning on my next kit being a downgrade in size as well actually. One of the nice things about owning a kit that big is that you really start to realize what you use the most and what you could live without. I mean, I didn't really NEED 4 hi hats and 3 ride cymbals on one kit when I think about it. :D
I just bought the first six Might & Magic games. So excited. Downloading them off of GOG.com right now!
I ordered a sample of one (jasmine). I still haven't tried it...Quote:
