I officially hit the consumerist jackpot! Naturally I felt entitled to spend nearly ten dollars on a deluxe serving of frozen yogurt in the nouveau riche section of town. Yoforia allows you to place whatever you like in a cup, be it fruit, nuts, candy, or cookies along with your choice of eight yogurt flavors. They weigh it, you pay it.

I also bought a handle of vodka. One would think this would be a decently sound investment that could conceivably last a little while, but I have three roommates and somehow doubt this.

I spent over a hundred dollars at a vintage clothes store on a pair of boots and a designer shirt. I have a pair of frye boots, designer boots, and work boots, but I did not have cowboy boots yet. Some reason always emerges to buy something, even though odds are I am not going to be in a rodeo any time soon.

The best purchase was probably the combined Mother's Day/Father's Day gift from Gamestop. While I bought my parents a game, I bought myself an entire $300 Playstation 3 videogame system. This seemed excessive, but I thought this would last (it plays Blu-Rays!) and I needed comfort food.

I reached spending nirvana, where heaven could be a place on earth, supposedly. But was I happy? My lunch at the Globe was decent, not great. I'm too busy to play the videogames. My boots give me blisters (should I wear two pairs of socks?).
