Pride, Vanity, and the Virtues of the Techno-Whore

I'm typing this post on a brand new MacBook that I got with a free IPod Touch.  I am excited.  I don't really know why.

I suppose it could have something to do with the joy I feel when I trick my credit card companies into thinking that I'm going to pay them back.  With my money.  I know that it isn't realistic to survive on student loans and adjunct lecturer wages, but look at me.  Fuck 'em.  

Yes, look at me.  I have a camera pointed at me right now, attached to the screen of my new computer.  I'm writing about myself.  I'm uploading Red Radio Stranger.  I'm looking at my pictures.

But here I am, expressing myself, however limited the audience.  See The Residents' Theory of Obscurity.  It's good.  I guess.  Fuck 'em.
