Pre Ordered All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary 5 CD & Blueray Boxset

[Normandie]

Small budget, small Beatles items. I can use these to mark up paper proofs before transferring the changes to Adobe:

Is that an Apple product Normandie?

Cool.  I’m looking forward to hearing this whole set. I’m liking the couple of remixes that have been released.

I don't believe so. I got them from PopColors, which offers several different sets: https://popcolors.com/collections/colored-pencils

This ad (for the Beatles pencils) popped up again on Instagram (during my daily search for photos of my son), and someone responded "Is this supposed to relate to a band or something? Must be a boomer thing."

Poor soul.

I think he needs re-education. Watching only Beatle movies for a month should adjust his attitude.

That sounds like a perfect remedy.

Pre Ordered the new Let It Be Super Deluxe Edition.

This Beatles Advent calendar is a bit pricey for me given all the stress-spending I've been doing lately (soooo many books!), but it's hard to resist:



After all the years of doing creative Advent calendars for my kids, I think I deserve this.    And, of course, I can rationalize just about any Beatles purchase.

Oh wow. Me want too!

I went ahead and ordered it and was able to pay for it with credit card rewards points. 

Of course, I'll have to keep this top secret locally. One of my friends texted yesterday to our group that she exceeded her grocery budget by 18 cents. So a purchase like this wouldn't go over well at all.

^^^^^^

. . . and, of course, Murphy's Law (or financial karma?) kicked in, and my printer/scanner just died.

It’s better than lighting your cigars with $100 bills in front of them.

True! <laugh> But I'm probably the least well off, financially, of my friends. The issue is that people here cannot seem to grasp the concept of a splurge. When my older daughter was home at Christmas 2019, we picked up a dragonfruit during a grocery shopping trip because we'd never tasted one before. That little anecdote was met with polite but puzzled stares (the dragonfruit was $10) and, I sensed, mild reproof. So now I keep stuff like that to myself.

halloween is coming, my group of hydrofoilers started a tradition last year with costume hydrofoiling, video from LY below

https://youtu.be/aWnd1ePv61I

This year, I decided to come back to my roots and these are components of my costume, I'm mixing eras but felt the jacket would remain open/loose and I would put the NYC t-shirt underneath. 

Working on the long long sideburns (real) ahead of time, have the stache/gotee to clean up as needed

Here is inspiration photo along with components purchased

That was great, blmeanie! Which one is you?

   Please share another video, if you want to, afterward.

I was Yoda last year

I will share the video after this year, hope my Sgt Pepper costume gets here in time.  I have one from 35 years ago that hangs in my closet ...but...doesn't fit as well anymore and that one I don't want it going in the lake either.

two things as long as you commented on my upcoming halloween costume

I want a prop while hydrofoiling, thinking one of these inflatable guitars will be good, which color should I use?


Secondly - when I am on the foil, I will play a special playlist for my ride (normally play a playlist, some beatles, mostly 80's).  With the theme of the costume should I construct :

a) a Sgt Pepper playlist (my ride would be 15-20 minutes long - so it would be through Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite)
b) a Lennon psychedelic inspired playlist (think - Lucy, Strawberry Fields, Walrus, All you Need is Love) 

how vote you?

I'd go with red, to complement the red trim on the coat.

That's a tougher call! I'd probably go with Option (b), but you can't really go wrong with either choice.

I think it's impressive that you can (a) hydrofoil with (b) a costume and (c) a prop and (d) listening to music. I am one of those people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time, so I admire the skill that must all entail.
