I spent the last 24 hours watching and bidding on one ebay item: a pair of Axiom M22ti cherry wood speakers.

This singular event precipitated passion, joy, disbelief and despair.

Passion for the wonders of music that I shall enjoy!
Joy that I outbid the stupid motherfucker by $5!
Disbelief that after a short break from the computer, I had lost by exactly the amount I had cunningly won by.
Despair that I had wasted all day with an obsession that bore no fruit.

Anyway, whatever evil that swept over me in the last day is over.
