an attempt at justification

i need to just think of it as saving money in the long run.

stopped by pure pop to pick up some driving music for tomorrow. planned on either the shins or modest mouse, wound up going with the shins' "chutes too narrow" (since one of my flatmates has modest mouse anyway). just as i was ready to head to checkout, i stumble across keane's "hopes and fears," on sale for a tempting $7.97.

while i'm half-cursing myself now for buying both, i'd wind up buying them separately anyway ... and keane was on sale, so it would be a travesty to overlook the opportunity to save money. so really, in the grand scheme of things, i just saved myself a few dollars. this is a good thing.

i just won't focus on the fact that i know i'll be picking up tristan's cd on friday. and that i'll be supporting the fabulous matty nay with a shirt purchase on thursday. and perhaps adding to my howie poster collection (yes, i know. i'm a dork). and that whole food thing ...

but again, these can be justified. i'll save money on shipping by buying tristan's cd at the venue. matt is completely worthy of my money - more so than almost any other musician i know of. and the potential howie poster? well, it's simply another piece of my growing concert poster collection that will one day be worth thousands of dollars.

right?
