Haha! That's a funny little story! I've never heard it before.

The last thing I bought was a packet of crisps. Before that a 12 pack of toilet rolls. I really can't remember the last most interesting thing I bought.

Why are people buying books? Is there a decrease on the wave of today's media?

You sure? The Gift of the Magi is a pretty well-known(and commonly copied and parodied) short story.

Fairly sure. I have a good memory for things like that. Perhaps I've heard a variation, but I can't think of anything like it. Thanks for giving me its name though. Now I can go and google it and hopefully read it!

EDIT: Found a copy online and can safely say I have never heard that story before. It was a good one though!

Books aren't media?

I meant like, the media that people watch and play and figure it's more worthwhile then books.

The last thing I purchased was a five gallon bucket of paint in the color Sandstone Cove, which is basically white with a very slight red hue to it. We'd run out of our first bucket and I was sent on a paint run. That was...Sunday? I also picked up a roll of painting tape and a pack of dust masks on that trip.

Today we started painting the main color on the house (Amazon Moss) and finished up the first of three buckets. It's looking really nice. Also, today my grandpa picked up 8 more rolls of various tapes for us on his way over, so that's the last thing he purchased. I think we just might have enough tape now.
