good night wind
i started working on my christmas list, in case you’re interested in donating to the cause, or just want to see some things that i like.
i also behaved shamelessly by purchasing one of the items that i was intending to add to it, even though i really didn’t need to spend more money today. it’s an mp3 player, and in my defense it was only because looking it up caused me to trip over an auction that was about to end for $75 less than average for the item, and i got it for $50 less than average, so that seems pretty sweet. now if i don’t like it, i can hopefully just sell it right back and no one will be the wiser.
well, no one except all of you, i suppose, but…
oh well
i’ll write more about it later, i’m sure.
now i will sleep.
