My favorite purchases of the year.
IKEA Fredrik desk, TOVO TV unit and Verner swivel chair. March. Got some furniture for my room after using a cheap night stand where I would have my laptop on, an old Sony TV stand that only had two shelves and a vanity stool to browse on my laptop.
Custom Timbuk2 Messenger Bag. February. I take this bag with me everywhere. To work, trips out of town, friends' houses, etc.
White Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop. March. Never thought I would ever own a Mac but damn, this is one sexy machine. It replaced my Alienware Sentia m3200 that was stolen the year prior. Also got Delicious Library 2 on it and makes keeping track of my stuff very simple.
Saltwater Aquarium. June. This is one of the first pictures I took of my tank once I had everything set up. It looks much different now. Anyway, I've been putting off getting one for a long time but finally did it this past summer. Next year, I might get myself a pico tank for my desk.
Korg SP-250. August. Still learning and I'm loving the sound that it produces.
Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash. September. I went so long without an external flash and now it rarely ever leaves my camera. Improved my indoor shots by a lot!
Apple TV. October. On top of streaming videos from my computer, I can also browse Youtube and Hulu videos with it. I also like the fact that I can just move it to any room (or my friends/relatives' houses) just by taking the HDMI and power cable along with it. Much more portable-friendly than, say, a PS3 since it's so much lighter.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.. November. My game of the year. I haven't even touched the single-player yet.

And my recent pick-ups:
Armani Code 1.7oz. Cologne. $37.
Needed a new scent after depleting my Hollister SoCal cologne. This should last me a year or so before I have to find something new.
Pelican Dual Triggers. Playstation 3. Free.
Wow, it makes a huge difference in feel. I haven't tried it in any games yet but I'll put it to the test by playing Gran Turismo 5: Prologue a little later today.
House M.D. Seasons One, Three and Four. DVD. $13 each.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Blu-Ray. $13.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Blu-Ray. $10.
My Amazon black Friday haul. I already have Season Two of House so I bought the other seasons I didn't have. I should've waited before I purchased Order of the Phoenix as it was $2 cheaper on Black Friday (placed the order the day before). Oh well, $10 was the price point that I would've locked in anyway. And Transformers: RotF was bought just for eye-candy.
World of Goo. Mac. $0.50.
This was actually bought when 2D Boy had their "you pay whatever you want for it" promotion. Still haven't played it yet. =/
