Last night after work I forewent drinks w/colleagues to #thriftfu #litotimancy parts for a puppet I have to build this week. Struck out altogether @ my 1st stop (a surprise since it benefits kids) & walked 15-20 mins to another. While nothing suited my needs in that regard, I did find 3 LPs, 2 books & 3 toys for <$9 tithe.
Oddly, as I paid, the clerk offered me a bag, which I declined as I bring my own. As I pulled mine out he continued as tho I said nothing 2x.
Anyway, here's my haul.
#thriftfu #litotimancy for this week (so far): 9 books (5 GNs), 7 VHSes, 18 toys (3 stuffed), 2 tees, 1 necktie, 2 USB tsotchkes & a print. Total #tithe = ~$87.
BONUS: A coat I saw & loved, but for $600 it can stay right where I found it.
Although I was mistaken that #nationalthriftshopday was Saturday, it WAS yesterday. I very nearly missed out on it completely, but omw home from the gym I hit one shop for a 1 yo's jacket for a #Muppet Whatsit I found in a Philly #thrift shop years ago, & several small toys from street vendors, for a combined #tithe of $15.
This was likely for the best, b/c #thriftfu #litotimancy sent me ALL THIS in the previous couple weeks. (I'm afraid I can't tally them up right this moment: I'm at work.)
Late in the day to say so, I know, but today is one of the most holy days of my year: #nationalthriftshopday! I've just plotted out a course south of me to hit a bunch of stoop sales and eventually make it to some chewy nuggets of #thrift shops. #thriftfu #litotimancy awaits the frugally bold!
[EDIT: Naturally, as soon as I summoned up the spirit to go out the weather turned gnarly. That's on me for waiting so long. Ah well: I can thrift any day.]
Last night's #thriftfu #litotimancy was brief, but fruitful:
• 2 CDs;
• 1 book;
• 1 shaving kit;
• 1 of the funkiest shirts on the planet (center top); and
• 18 small toys
for a total #tithe of $51. #occult #Magick #defendedbe
The 2 shirts at top right & left are new #POD #PrintOnDemand #TeePublic orders, both #robot themed.
My back problems continue unabated: other than to feed the cat and use the toilet I've not got out of bed in nearly 11 hours. I move in any random way and those muscles step to the edge of the cliff and yell, "I'LL DO IT I'LL FUCKING DO IT I'LL CRASH THIS MEAT MACHINE AND EVERYONE ABOARD SO DO NOT FUCK WITH ME"
At least before I become bedridden I had a nice evening in Williamsburg of #thriftfu, vintage foreign #animation (PRINCESS IRON FAN @ Spectacle), pork dumplings, sesame pancake & beer.
I really need to pull back on the #thriftfu stick: I don't know what #litotimancy is trying to tell me. Sun eve after work at a shop I've patronized for >20 years I found:
• 11 books (only 2 GNs!);
• 2 neckties;
• 1 vase I formerly owned (!!);
• 14 VHS (!!!); and
• a #Miyazaki #StudioGhibli stuffed toy
for a total #tithe of $49.50. If that wasn't enough, I found the toy assortment on the right Mon pm on a Jackson Heights street corner for $9.
And I saw the last for $11, but didn't buy it.
Tues eve I once again went to the same #thrift shops as the previous week, just UWS franchises thereof.#thriftfu #litotimancy delivered me:
• 8 books (3 GNs);
• 2 CDs;
• 5 LPs;
• 2 tees;
• 2 VHSes;
• 4 DVDs (incl s1-3 of THE HANDMAID'S TALE);
• pineapple-shaped tea lights (set of 6);
• set of stencils;
• 3 buttons;
• a #Snoopy & #CharlieBrown #Peanuts diorama; and
• a #HexBug #VexRobotics kit, condition unknown.
Total #tithe = ~$95.
