I Want It All. November 30, 2005 ~ 2:06 pm

Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , trackback

According to my WeatherBug, it’s a balmy 62 degrees out. Not a bad way to end November, but you know what would be really cool? A 62 degree December 1. Unfortunately, I’m not going to get that. Tomorrow the temperatures drop to the 40s. Am I the only one who remembers how fucking cold it was here last year, and fears the return of that kind of weather? Obviously I am. I need to move somewhere where the average temperature year-round is 70 degrees. I would be happy then.

Ah, who the hell am I kidding? I would find something else to bitch about, something else I could convince myself I need. That is the nature of Americans, if not all of mankind, at the beginning of the 21st Century. Just when you look around and think “Yep, I’ve got it good. I’ve got everything I could possibly want.” someone comes up with something else you’ve just got to have. Who the hell are these inventors and why won’t they stop? Why did you have to make an iPod that plays videos? A PSP and a Nintendo DS? Computers that make mine obsolete every time I turn around? Actually, I’ve got them beat on that one, at least for the next week. Mom, proving once again that she is a wonderful human being and the best parent ever (no, you can’t have her), knowing that the Gateway she got me back in 2001 has crashed several times and has never really recovered from me trying to install DSL, has bought me a new computer for Christmas. If UPS doesn’t fuck me over, as they have in the past, I should have it tonight. Blogoverse, keep your fingers crossed. If all goes well, I could finally be playing Sims 2 soon.

Fuck, I forgot the point of this post. Was there one? Oh, yeah, we will always want something that we don’t have. If I had every high tech toy in the universe, I would want something else, and you know you’re the same way. Now excuse me while I go drool over some yarn.

**UPDATE**
The computer has been delivered, and according to UPS’s tracking system, my landlady signed for it. Alas, Rick got us tickets to a Broadway show, so there will be no Sims playing for me tonight. See, no matter how good you’ve got it, you always want something more.
