Buy now pay later

A terrible combination of events has taken place.

The first was Sunday when I purchased my first album on iTunes. I was about to read Fray, this vampire slayer story, and I decided that I NEEDED RIGHT NOW to have the Philip Glass Dracula soundtrack. I had a gift card. So there you have it. I registered and downloaded it. (I love it, I've already listened to it four times while stalking about my apartment in a cape. Bleh!)

Anyway, that's obviously not terrible in itself, but you'll realize the situation I am in when I tell you that I am home sick from work today (which sucks, yes, but that's not the point). I'm home sick, so I have nothing to do but sit on iTunes and download stuff! Jesus.

So the gift card is long gone. I keep finding these single songs that I want and thinking "Oh, what the hell, I'll just buy the whole album!" So now the national debt seems small to me and I don't forsee myself stopping.

The limiting reagent I have added to the mix is the decision I made to only look up stuff I haven't been able to find at stores. Unfortunately, everything reminds me of something else I've wanted for a long time.

The end. The moral of the story is being educated in music is a terrible thing and we should all spend less money on culture.

For those of you who care, I bought 2 Mactalla Mor albums, a Zap Mama album, and some other things, and it has all taught me that iTunes' World Music is horribly unorganized and needs a librarian's touch, thanks.
