Meh, or, The Funk

I’ve been in a funk lately and I can’t seem to shake it. I have little motivation to write these days. Seems all I feel like doing is fishing–and I can’t do that as often as I like and so the funk ensues.

I think I need a vacation.

Yesterday I ran out of gas in the Costco parking lot. I had to push my car the last 100 yards to the gas pumps.

Last night after work I merged onto the freeway and set my cruise control for 70 mph. I didn’t have to use my brakes once until the off-ramp in Vacaville.

Damn you, Amazon

Amazon.com is my nemesis.

I have had a tumultuous past with Amazon’s 1-click checkout. I’ve turned it off, then on, then off, then back on again more times than I can count. *shakes fist*

Enter Amazon Prime. For $79 a year you get free 2-day shipping on almost all their stuff. Dude. *sighs*

Items bought in the last two weeks:

RA Salvatore’s new Drizzt book in paperback “The Orc King”
D&D Player’s Handbook 4th ed.
Lego Indiana Jones for Xbox360
Kershaw Ken Onion Baby Boa Folding Knife with Speed Safe
Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver ($9.95!!!)

Amazon 1-click checkout + Amazon Prime = (awesome goodness) && (certain doom)

Curse you, Amazon!
