Tickets to the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach.

Also a super bougie tee-shirt. It's by far the most expensive tee-shirt I own, I just wanted to know what the hype is about.

You can't really see much from pictures, it's just a plain black tee-shirt. It's really more about the fit, the hand-feel, and the dying process. It's an extremely saturated black, so it supposedly won't fade after washing. It also uses extremely long length cotton fiber that is spun into extremely thin threads with an extremely tight weave, so it feels very soft and kind of glossy and should be very good at retaining its shape long term without any kind of stretching or deformation. Guess I'll see if that's the case after a few months of wear.

Because of the way I've heard a few people pronounce it, I prefer to call them "cutie-OLEDs".

A new computer screen.

My old one stopped working half a year ago, and since then I've been unable to use my desktop, instead relying upon my laptop. My plan was to disassemble the screen to look at what component had gone amiss (it was a problem that looked like it was fixable) but I couldn't get past the first step of disassembly, and since using my laptop all the time was starting to give me back problems I took the easy way out.

Street Fighter The Novel: Where Strength Lies (2016) - It is published by Udon, and is each chapter is more so a vignette focused on two fighters, and not an overall narrative nor plot. WSL is based off of Ultra Street Fighter IV. What sets it apart from most other game to novel adaptions is all of the artwork is done by Yusuke Murata. The manga sketches in the book are amazing! The writing style and translation is well done and engaging as if you're seeing these fight scenes being animated or played. For those interested, just get hardcover book and not the paperback. I stuck with hardcover, and it is how I prefer reading stories like this. At least the hardcover has a fold out artwork of the paperback cover, so it evens out. I normally don't do many novel adaptions of games, but I decided to take an interest and try this one out. And I ended up loving this book! You can get the hardcover for $20.

Or, and hear me out, you still try and fix it so you have TWO screens on your desktop. I mean at this point you have nothing to lose so giving it a go has to be a good idea.

My actual reasoning, actually. If I fix it I can do a multi-screen set-up, if I don't I still have a regular set-up.

But given that my track record involved having a non-functioning monitor for half a year I remain doubtful that I'll ever do it. I also went to an electronics store to ask if they had equipment for fixing and the guy at the cash register said that given how fragile monitors are nowadays he would not recommend it.
