Arrgh damn that Steve Jobs and its esthetically pleasing design company aka Apple Computer. I certainly didn’t plan to buy a new toy from Apple today but I went from accidently clicking on one of those iTunes emails that tell you about all that music just begging to be downloaded and put onto that amazing iPod. To browsing the new slicker Macbook Pro, 17“ unibody design marvel. Do I need it? No, will my clients and friends marvel at my latest toy of course. So $3500 later I’m waiting 4-5 weeks for my new laptop I don’t need. Nothing like reinforcing that buyers remorse with a 4-5 week delay in seeing that impulse buy land on your doorstep. I guess it’ll give me time to sell all those other Apple gadgets I’ve purchased under similar circumstances.
Which brings me to Confessions of a Shopaholic, So yes I’ll be there watching the movie on opening day, hiding there during a matinee performance in case I happen to run into one of the guys going to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop and having to lie about what I’m really there to see. My dirty little secret, its like porn for me. While my friends where buying Terminator pack, the first blu-ray movie I purchased was ”The Devil wears Prada“. You’d think I’d like to take a rest from anything fashion related but nope I lap them up. I’m hoping I’ll learn something about myself and forever rid myself of my buy anything Apple make ways.
Well until I’m off to see if there is an update on my Apple purchase, maybe they’ve update my ship date…….
