Please excuse this terribly selfish whine.
I wish I had enough money to try frivilous things!!!
I just saw a cool video of a gal playing a theramin (which I really only know from Led Zeppelin, woo whoo!) and I had the thought of MAN, I would LOVE to try that!
I mean, maybe it'd turn out it was too frustrating or not my thing, but I would love to have the money to just go online and buy one and have it delievered and spend some time learning... whatever (I just watched some learning videos and the ukulele it's not!) and then see where it goes.
And then if I didn't love it or want to keep it, I could give it away (or sell it I suppose) to someone else.
And I'd love to do that with an electric piano and a screenprinting kit and to try, I dunno... stand up paddling (when it is warmer!) And I'd love to be able to spend all sorts of money on fixing up the small things my car could use (new shocks, for example) and to buy a friend or two that thing they casually mentioned (a friend of mine mentioned how they'd love a straight razor shave and I'd love to be like here, here you go!)
So, yes, I not only wish I had more than enough money to be comfortable, but more than enough for buying things I want to try. Or even renting. Or who knows. But it seems like it would be fun to go try the theramin for a while, just because I want to and without it being a financial stupidity.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
