Picked this up yesterday. Well, not in a physical sense, because it still has to come to me by mail. But you know what I mean. I figured that I should get one if I want to keep playing.
Glendale kinda sucks for playing pool though, so far. It’s largely due to the fact I have to rely on buses a lot to get around, but that means I have to go like 30 minutes away (by bus) to get to one. And it’s expensive, I think. I guess I’d have to check.
Sadfaces.
I just saw a Bravia at Taipei 101 which made me like drool. I want one now, but I guess I already mentioned the 30″ish LCD HDTV.
I also saw a bunch of Omega watches on display which makes me want a shiny watch. I actually don’t know much about watch brands but I’d like one that’s close to the top. It’s one of those things that makes you look rich. I’ve made a commitment to looking rich even if I’m not, perhaps?
Oh, and for us suckers out there – I want to get a feminine necklace to wear, but not so much so it’s like screaming “weirdooo” with the visual exposure it gets. I figure I can wear it under the shirt and then like never take it off in public or show up without it; be like all protective about people looking at it and such, you know? so I attach meaning to it for myself and others. (“Can I see that?” “No, you can’t.”) Then when there’s finally someone significant in my life, I can give it to her to wear – over the shirt, hopefully. (Thus the requirement of slightly feminine.) Awww.
And then when we inevitably split up a month later I can watch it fly at me and/or into the nearest large body of water. Awww.
I love making lists of things I don’t have but want. Current top-three wishlist:
A Lenovo Thinkpad X60/61 convertible laptop. I hear only good things about Thinkpads, so go with the best, right? The ability to write all over your screen is just too cool to pass up. I might just wait for the Dell version to come out because you can always get nicer deals with the via searching around for coupons, but it’s not that much better I guess.
A 30-something inch monitor/tv to meld into a home entertainment system. Along with a speaker system that has a lot of speakers and such (I actually know nothing about this shit, lawls!), and the quietest desktop computer, evar. I’ve gotten tired of my ABS case keeping me up at night. Okay, it’s not that bad (mostly white noise?) but it’s definitely quite white noisy. Actually, since I use laptops more than desktops these days another laptop would probably be just as good, or a docking station for my X60/61.
A phone that doesn’t suck ass. My phone’s model is literally older than some of the little sisters my friends have. Like when I went to Atlanta to visit Shelley, this was the conversation that ensued:
Shelley: “Dude, your phone does suck.”
Me: “Yeah I know.”
Shelley’s BF: “Yeah they (Funnce and Yilin) have Chocolates and you have… that?”
So yeah, I think I’m due for an upgrade. Soon. When I have money.
Oh yeah and I could probably use more clothes because the last time I bought some was seriously like years ago.
I sorta feel bad for wanting these things because like, I don’t have a job or anything. Since I entered college more or less I’ve had the fortune of being showered with scholarships and I’ve generally not been a consumer for most things besides a new computer every now and then, so I never really felt the need for extra cash. I really wonder about half those scholarships too – I mean there were some I didn’t even actively apply for that gave me quite a lot of dough. I guess I’m just really, really lucky. Hope that luck doesn’t wear out.
That and I’m a social recluse – me social recluse! need not spend money on extra shit! like going out and having fun with friends! ya! – so it kinda just ended up that way with my upkeep being relatively little for parental funding.
But now that I’m kinda past that phase the j-word has become an necessity, I suppose. I’ve noticed my spending go up considerably this last year or so, after I actually start seeing the sun every now and then, so work seems to be something I have to work (lol!, get it?!) on getting. I just hope I don’t get some nightmarish job like Shelley’s.
Oh well, this has to come after I deplete the last of my savings and then some in Taiwan. Ohohoho…
