 ## Notable material gains
 
-- A bicycle, as described in [2024-04-05](../random/2024-04-05.md)
+- A 20 oz thermo flask, as a gift from the School of Information for

 - A MIDI keyboard (AKAI MPK mini play) with which I made a few loops
+- A MCR-themed zine I took at the Duderstadt gallery (it said "take one")
+- Two CDs: Blurryface (2015) and Scaled And Icy (2021).
+
+More on the CDs: Blurryface is for myself, SAI is for a friend. I rode
+downtown to four record stores in one day and bought them in the third and
+fourth, respectively. The first store had SAI listed online, but they sold
+out recently. The second store sold mostly vinyls. In both the third and
+fourth, I took the last tøp CD in stock, so I can't really blame the
+person who did it in the first store.
+
+The four stores are
+
+- Your Media Exchange, 319 S Main St
+- Underground Sounds, 120 E Washington St
+- Encore Records, 208 N 4th Ave
+- Wazoo Records, 336 S State St
+
+All in downtown Ann Arbor. I've been to YMX last year, and I found some
+rare items in the tøp vinyl section like the Location Sessions for record
+day. I don't have a turntable, so I left them for people who do. This time
+it's gone, along with many more. Whoever bought them has great taste.
