We are living in a material world...
Sep. 18th, 2005 09:16 amI went shopping yesterday.
The thing that took me longest to decide was the MP3-Player. But yes, I finally got myself one.
It is not an I-Pod, but it's nice and small and has 1 GB of storage space.
(See German site here)
But.
I have a total of maybe two or three songs on this computer here at home, so I can't really try it out.
And at work, I do have some albums I got from friends, but not much.
So ladies and gentlemen, if you have sound files of songs you think I might like, go ahead and send them to me. :-)
I also bought a new pair of sneakers. I really needed them, but it was difficult to get them.
We have this store where they sell nothing but sports shoes, and they really know what they're doing. They measure your feet, and make a video of you running, so they know how your feet move and what you need.
Then I tried on several pairs and they filmed how my feet moved in those. The whole process takes ages, but I feel good about the shoes I finally bought.
I'm having way too much fun shopping, I fear the worst for when I finally have my own place and can go furniture shopping.
Today I got up at half past six to be at the election office on time. I had not been informed on when we would meet, which was odd, but I figured that the person in charge had not done the job before and simply didn't know.
Well.
When I showed up they told me they had counted me out and I was not needed and might as well go home.
Thank you ever so much, I really would not have known what to do in my bed on Sunday morning. There was another lady whom they sent away, and she told me she'd not volunteer for the job ever again. I can understand it, really. But it sucks because we always lack volunteers. And seeing the people that volunteer at this election, I fear the worst for the counting. I know some of them and I do have doubts whether they are able to count at all. Or read.
But whatever, I spent the morning reading the latest edition of Playwitch, and that was much better anyway.
