All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

I only seem to buy sunglasses when it’s a ridiculous deal. My current ones were a pair that my Dad didn’t wear anymore. Before that, I had Anarchy Kronos that were a shade of blue — they weren’t my favorite. (I lost those.)

Late Wednesday night¹, I saw a post on Passwird.com (run by my friend, Irwin) for Spy Steady MC sunglasses for about 21 bucks shipped.

So, I jumped on it. Then today, they’re here! (No Fear’s online store ships out of Carlsbad. That went well for me, huh?

If you want to see what stock might be left, I’ve copy and pasted the text below:

SPY MC and Richelle Sunglasses $20.99 shipped at NoFear Store!

Next lowest price on PriceGrabber is $77.98 (”MC” style).

I’ll take a self-portrait and upload it when I can.

I borrowed a TomTom GPS unit from someone for my road trip to San Francisco a few months ago in July, and we loved it! I’m stoked because the TomTom ONE 3rd Edition Portable GPS is now selling at Amazon.com for $124.99 - and its eligible for free shipping!

I ordered one and can’t wait until it arrives.

LG 17″ Black LCD Monitor for $219.99 + tax @ Newegg

I want that! Why not me!?!

Can someone spot me some cash? How about seven $20 donations and I’ll pay you all back over a few months? I’m sorry if I sound desperate, but I’m tired of the lack of desk space with my huge 19″ CRT monitor.
