Ok, so I like most love the access to music that we have given that we have the correct expensive tools (a computer, the interweb, an ipod and credit card). Surprisingly, I have spent less money than I would have thought on music in the last year given that access is so easy, with the stored numbers and expiration and itunes constantly asking me to buy buy buy! Still, I am not sure where a few of my purchased items have come from. Like the Gorillez songs, that I am not disappointed to have, and still do not remember purchasing. And of course I miss the hours spent browsing the music aisles, but not the frustration in packaging and actual bad cds.
Anyway, I just bought the soundtrack to "Into the Wild" which is entirely done by Eddie Vedde which I have yet to see but have heard good things about. Anyway, Eddie Vedder could be saying the words "moist panties" over and over again and still I would only cringe slightly and might still want to lick his face.
Goddamn his voice is sexy.
And so I feel good, really really good, about the purchase. :)
And I am realizing that spending money, the invisible thing that goes in and out of my invisible accounts is actually quite amusing. And I suppose that this is not an entirely new realization, but seriously, money is such a joke! I made the mistake of looking at my credit card statements yesterday, which haven't really gone up or down in the last 5 years but stayed at a pretty steady $5000 of debt, and wonder how this has affected my daily life. And the point is that it has not. And I am so aware of how irresponsible it is to think this way, but honestly, what is more real than my day to day? And any extra money I earn goes to nice dinners or more bottles of wine or new underware or a trip. I will never pay off my credit cards and I am happy to admit that I do not care.

karen! why did you do this? now i won't be able to fall asleep b/c i'll imagine eddie vedder singing about moist panties all night.
sooo...you want to lick his face...are you sure you don't want to take a little break from dog sitting? regroup, regain some of your more human qualities?
oh and i have a feeling you'll like this marrying of technology and wine:

I know, it was a bit much, the point, my dear friend, is only strengthened by your
insomnia.
Coming from the girl who used to BEG ME to change the CD when she got in my car and Pearl Jam was blasting. I guess your music taste has finally reached mine...... when I was 17.
teehee
