Sunday:
Lots of news in the Sunday paper about Bush’s plan to create private Social Security accounts. I guess. OMG! There’s a markdown on flat screen hi-defs. I can tell today will be torture. The plastic is jumping out of my wallet.
Monday:
I set up my new $2,500 flat screen TV today. I’m so excited. The color and picture is beautiful. The image is so sharp I can make out the pleats on Anna Kournikova’s tennis outfit. Incredible. But I’ll need to upgrade my sound system to really appreciate it!
Tuesday:
Order a $750 surround sound systems online. I wonder if buying electronics made in China hurts the trade deficit – not to mention my credit card. I should write about the trade deficit in my blog and get a discussion going. Did you know U.S. has an arms sales ban to China? We can buy their TVs, but they can’t buy our guns! I guess the Ownership Society is a one-way thing. LOL.
Wednesday:
My new sound system arrives. Overnight shipping from the online reseller cost me $50. But I didn’t have to pay a state sales tax. I know, the states need the tax money, but, hey, this is America: high taxes hurt productivity. The sound is amazing. I love blogging!
Thursday:
I think the sound can be better. My friend said out-of-the-box cables are no good, and I need to upgrade. Ok, I’m convinced! I get some high-end audio/video cables. Sets me back $200, but I’m not maxed yet! LOL.
Friday:
Wow I just put $3,450 on my plastic this week. I’ll cancel my gym membership and buy workout DVDs instead. That’ll help pay for it. Another issue: There are black spots on my plasma TV screen. Weird. I read about “dead pixels” on the Internet. They really bug me. Three hits on my blog today! When will my Google advertising pay off?
