feeling all consumer-y

Just like during October when I get a sudden craving for sweets, during November and December the craze of buying sets in. I can't help it! I've been successfully programmed! All the sales and deals abound are too much to resist. I MUST buy something!! The problem is, I don't really need anything that I don't already have. Sure, a diamond encrusted plasma screen TV would be nice, but all that sparkling would probably interfere with watching all those Lost Dancing Star Idol people.

Seriously, when did this happen to me? I never used to be this bad. I feel like I'm frothing or something (sorry, please excuse my bubbly spittle). It's like if I just went out and bought the perfect THING, whatever that was, all my gadgety dreams would come true! Now if I could only raise some quick cash to convert into a material object that I would soon tire of... anyone want to buy a PS2?
