a monochromatic oeuvre

Amazon Prime for students is brilliant. In the last two weeks, just because if I have the slightest impulse to buy something, I can load up Amazon and get it in 2 days, I have bought:

• 12 pairs of socks (I was running out of clean socks but really didn’t want to do laundry.)
• A Wrinkle in Time (Partly for a class, partly because I wanted it.)
• S-Video Cable (Would have bought it from Monoprice, but it would have cost the same after shipping.)
• Bluetooth Dongle (It was tiny and adorable and I wanted to connect my WiiMote to my media center computer.
• Bathroom Scale
• Scalp Massager Tingly!
• Feed
• Idahoan Mashed Potatoes (Delicious instant mashed potatoes! I would have bought this one but for some dumb reason its twice as expensive. I can justify $16 of mashed potatoes but $36?)

Impulsive purchases are just so easy now. Thanks to my good friends at Amazon and their free 2-day shipping, I am now a much poorer college student, but am enriched by instant mashed potatoes and children’s books. (Good god, I just went through that list and it costs $130. Those little things really do add up.)
