Day 2780 - 1989 Batman Figure - 12.31.18

This is my 1989 Batman action figure.  I bought him back in the day when the movie came out.  I had him hanging from a shelf in my dorm room.  His little utility belt pulls out with a string attached and that is what I used to hang him from my shelf above my bed.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2779 - The Joker - 12.30.18

This is a Joker toy I found at a thrift store way back in college.  It was probably the Fall of 1989 or maybe the beginning of 1990.  The toy is from 1984 DC Super Powers collection.  I love this guy.  I liked him more than the Joker figure from the 1989 Batman movie.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2778 - Team SAP Yo-Yo - 12.29.18

Today I spent a lot of time going through some bins of old stuff and putting things into bins that could go to the garage.  There were a bunch of old toys and such that I kept in the house so that I can photograph them in the coming weeks.  This old Yo-You with a Team SAP sticker is one of those things.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2777 - Steve Perry "Traces" - 12.28.18

Today we were at Target and I saw the new Steve Perry album there.  I bought it without hearing a single track.  Just this week in my travels I was catching up on "Stuck In the 80's" and of course they reviewed the album.  I bought the album based on that review and the few snippets.  I think the album is great.  It is great having new music from Steve Perry.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2765 - Duke Ellington Plays With The Original Motion Picture Score Walt Disney's Mary Poppins - 12.16.18

This was a record store day release.  I don't know if it was from the most recent record store day or if it was older.  It was in a record store in Arizona that had a whole section of record store day records.  I bought it obviously hoping that it was going to be good, but it far exceeded my expectations.  I don't know why I am surprised.  It is Duke Ellington and the music from Mary Poppins is all gold.  Mix the two together and you have one amazing record.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2763 - Bee Gees "Spirits Having Flown" - 12.14.18

I picked this record up a couple weeks ago in Arizona.  You'll see melted wax on it.  It looks like someone had candles on it.  This has a couple good post Saturday Night Fever tracks.  "Too Much Heaven" is great and feels like it could have been on the Saturday Night Fever record.  "Tragedy" is a disco burner as well.  This is something I saw today.
