In which I am a consumer
Oct. 25th, 2005 09:02 pmI have caved and turned on my heater for the first time since last winter. Damn, I might as well get out the gloves and scarf. Fall, I hardly knew ye, where have you gone?
In other sad news, I have caved further and finally ordered a new ipod to replace my slowly dying 1st gen model. The good news--it probably won't come for a month or so, so I can cling to my baby for a little longer. Yes, I am somewhat demented.
And since I was feeling guilty for spending so much money, I promptly spent some more. I've been needing a new battery for my old ti powerbook, but since I pretty much only use it at home, it didn't seem so urgent until the charge starting lasting something like 10 minutes. So new battery (expensive suckers, those batteries are) is on its way. Oh, and I also ordered far too many books. Never mind that I have no space nor any time to read them. I used to tell my dad that I only needed enough money to keep in books and a place to put them, but little did I realize that I would end up living in NYC, where having a little space is like having gold plated walls in another city--walls encrusted with precious jewels, big ones.
