I pretty much always come up with some way to spend a lot of money on christmas presents, but it looks like this year things are just conspiring against me. Apart from the mystery layoffs at my company which have yet to be announced, there's the whole moving thing which also means I have to buy a new mattress. Sara only has a "full" size, and then there's my Queen mattress that I bought with my ex-wife in 1998 and you know, four girlfriends since then and she gets all creeped out about making it her bed. DAMES. Then my car fails inspection this morning. Apparently I need a new motor mount, brakes, suspension, and tires. I also need to buy the materials for the new bookcase which it is vital that I build before moving day (December 24th) This is on top the last payment of $900 made for my undergraduate studies which will be debited promptly on the 15th.

At least the last $205 I blew was well spent. I gave it to High-Tech Audio aka Sound Images in Falls Church Va, to save my 1978 Sansui- G6000 Receiver. Was it worth it? Well, I'm listening to Sususudio by Phil Collins RIGHT NOW.

Jealous?
