Rank consumerism
Jun. 13th, 2006 02:06 pmI'm still pining for my lost Dell Axim. And, yes, I still keep hoping I put it down somewhere around the house. Nevermind the patent obviousness of the fact it ain't here. I'm still looking, d*mmit.
I indulged in some shopping therapy Sunday. I bought myself a Nintendo DS Lite. Yes, it is functionally equivalent to my previous Nintendo DS Phat (as it has been dubbed), but the improved ergonomics and awesomely bright screen make it worth the purchase. All my games seem shiny and new again. The redesigned handheld has a definite iPod feel to it, without the delicate, easy-to-scratch-iness part.

I just made my appointment with the doctor finally. I hate the idea of going if only because by the time I go to a doctor, I always feel better. I feel stupid talking about problems past, even if the past is just a day or two ago. The fact that the problems WILL flair up again without fail is without consequence. Unless I'm actively suffering at the time, I feel like I'm just talking outta my *ss, you know, whining. I think the whole anxiety of going to the doctor just overwhelms all other physical symptoms.
Friday, I almost fell asleep at the wheel on the drive home from work. That actually happens to me quite a lot...a couple of hours after a meal, about quitting time, I get unbearably tired. All the minor fender benders I've been involved with for the past 5 or 6 years...were on the drive home, where I drifted into the car in front of me. I combat it with a cold drink or caffeine before I drive home now, but usually the caffeine keeps me up at night, too.
