buy me now! i'm cheap! says the thursday cd at jb-hifi. shiny things with fluorescent stickers to suck me in, and suck me in it did. i had wandered over to to city from south brisbane for something to do at lunch time.. trying to force myself to save money, i limited my lunch time spendings to what was in my wallet - $3.60.
strolling into the night owl on adelaide street i discovered they sold my magic elixir - jolt cola - $2.79. easy. withing my humble monetary limits. too easy. continuing along with a grand total of 80c in my wallet, i walked into jb-hifi.. straight away i headed for the bargain bin.. tdk headphones marked down to $22, excellent, i'll take them. i scooted down to the cd section.. looked around aimlessly at cd's only to spot the self titled 'she wants revenge' cd.. yoink! i'll take that too!
dont grab anything else! my $3.60 budget has flown out the window.. i hurriedly made my way up the stairs to the registers, turned my head to the left, and there is thursday's 'city by the light divided' disc.. mocking me with its fluro pink sticker with $16.99 standing boldly to get my attention and a big 'buy me now i'm cheap' sticker across it too.. thursday deserve my money.. i grabbed it too.
so much for saving.
so i made my way back to work, across the bridge and back to south brisbane, happily carrying my jb-hifi bag full of goodies. damn brisbane is hot. stupid weather. i'm going to need to buy some stubbies and fit in with the brisbane crowd in summer.. hairy white legs hanging out the bottom in all their pasty glory.
i sit myself back down at my desk and open up the headphones.. plug them in (damn they got a 4m cord!) and they sound horrible. typical. spend money your shouldnt be spending and you spend it on sub par guff. so i've offloaded them to my little brother. he's happy as larry.
hidden track on she wants revenge is awesome too. top stuff.
