i’m off to do a little last minute christmas shopping.

typically, i despise shopping. no, i don’t think you understand how much i despise shopping. i used to tolerate certain record [sic] shops and bookstores, but it’s hard to muster the energy for even that these days. i tried to go to the bookstore the other day and had a parking spot snatched in the rudest manner by what otherwise appeared to be a kindly grandmother. and today, it’s even worse because i have to shop for kids. it’s not that i’m some sort of grinch and against kids and toys. i’m just against being in toy stores. or even the toy aisle. it brings out the worst in humanity. and soccer moms.

but today, i have a theory. today, my ipod is going to make it all right. with a little help from brian eno, i will survive.
