We went for a full day of shopping yesterday since I was in terrible need of a new pair of shoes. I'm quite picky about my shoes since this is a throwback of my former self from highschool. I could be wearing the rattiest of clothes, but my sneaks had to be awesome. It was a strange mindset that I guess never left me. We went to several stores over the weekend, but the City Sports store in Gallery place had zero stock on any of the shoes I thought looked decent. We ended up treking out to Tyson's Corner to the Puma store since I knew I wanted to buy my first pair of Pumas (to blend in with my hipster peers) and I also didn't want to battle with Georgetown traffic & parking (which was the only other Puma store that I knew of).

Once we got to Tyson's though, I fell in love. We went to the Apple Store to pick up Ms. LD's new iPod, and I got to see a MacBook for the first time. I know the MacBook Pros are the sweeter ones inside, but I am a sucker for the way the MacBook itself is designed. Of course the wife asked me what the hell was wrong with my powerbook right now? I could come up with a million geek reasons, but none would satiate a real justification to drop a thou for the sole reason of techno lust. So I'm posting up a paypal donate button to my nonexistent readers and pleading them to donate to my retail therapy fund. Or you could just click an ad that you might fancy somewhere on the site. I've made a whopping 41 cents on this blog's advertising since its inception, I'm so much closer to the bottomless hole I call tech-happiness. If I ever get one, I swear the content on this site will just zing with life, unlike half the posts I've made in the past month.
