Four Things I Bought When I Finally Got Paid

I like getting a regular paycheck.

1. A box set of 50 action movies made between the 1920s and the 1970s. It includes such films as Submarine Alert (1943), Tarzan's Revenge (1938), My Boys Are Good Boys (1978), and Sword of Lancelot (1963). What's the theme? They're all in this box set. Which was on sale.

2. Five pairs of cool socks. I like to wear cool socks. The problem with them is that they are hard to find, and they tend to develop holes faster than non-cool socks. Ah, the hard life of a fashionista.

3. A black and white striped sweater. Not wide Frenchy stripes; it's mostly black, with white pinstripes.

4. A reel of Super-8 film. My favorite art historian and I are going to make a short film based on Winsor McKay's "A Pilgrim's Progress" comic strips for an art/activism show she's involved with. Although he doesn't know it yet, the Zombiemaster is going to play the main character. He's already carried a typewriter around for one of our unfinished films, so carrying a suitcase won't be much of a stretch.
