t-mobile sidekick

milan and I realized a few years ago that we have a slight problem with "want / need" distinction. I would say that this becomes "a problem" when you find yourself saying things like "I WANT food," but "I NEED a new digital camera." after a little while of training myself that I didn't NEED small brushed metal objects in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word-- incidentally, this training consisted of buying several small brushed metal objects--I went through a period where I could successfully distinguish between WANTing to go to vegas and NEEDing to sleep occasionally.

unfortunately, I think I'm having a relapse. I rediscovered this problem of mine as I was deciding whether or not I "need" a t-mobile sidekick. I had a moment of bewildering self-awareness in which my brain struggled to grasp the fact that I was considering whether or not it would be necessary to buy a second cell phone. like that fact was a wet thrashing salmon and my brain had small meaty hands with stubby fingers. or something.

with my brain occupied with that, I'll probably end up running out and buying the damn thing sometime soon.
