Rampant consumerism

(No, not the computer. Still dithering. In fact, got a couple of more options added to the stew...)

Need to get out this afternoon, subzero windchills or no. Get a box of fancy chocolate for Wife, who will not be surprised even if she doesn't read this. If I get it now and present it this evening, I get the Chocolate Points without contributing directly to capitalist manipulation -- IE "Valentine's Day" hype.

Usual Friday visit to the Pigeon Loft this morning. Some of those apartments are going to be Escher-esque -- walls go off at odd angles, as previously noted, floors and ceilings still slope thataway, and some exposed roof trusses are not parallel to _anything._ This becomes more obvious as sheetrock goes on. Just don't count on fitting your bed or table neatly into a corner...

And can't wait until after the 14th when the chocolates become 50% off?

Telling the love of your life that she's only worth 50% off? Dangerous.

(Actually, the place where I get the custom mix doesn't discount after.)

Was thinking more that it was that she could have lots more chocolate because you were patient and were saving the money for the computer replacement cost.

(I'm probably too practical for my own good. unixronin complains that he can't buy me presents.)
