November: a month of purchasing nothing?

At the start of this month I told Marisa that I wasn’t going to buy anything that we didn’t need.

I’m lucky enough to have a little bit of disposable income, and I enjoy being able to buy whatever bauble might catch my fancy at any given time (within reason). This isn’t a problem, but as I looked around the apartment I realized I didn’t really need any more stuff.

My resolve didn’t last long, though. As you know I bought a fancy vacuum (which really sucks… get it?), but I thought that would be it!

Fast forward to today and I made a couple more purchases. To the right you can see the new graphics card for my Mac Pro I purchased today. I know what you’re thinking, “Scott, why do you need a new graphics card?” So I can power this fancy new monitor
I also bought today:

Clearly, I have a problem.
