too many things to buy... too little money

ok, so my techno materialism is nearly at an all-time high. the adobe cs3 premium design suite is almost out - the upgrade will cost me $599. apple dropped the price on their 20" display: $599 (not a necessity by any means, but still very nice), and the next apple operating system could come out at any time: $???.??

i really wish i was getting more back on tax returns. oh well. it's all just stuff, i know. but it's cool stuff. i can usually turn down stuff and not get too wrapped up in it. it's the cool stuff that gets me.

sometimes i wish i was back in mexico, where i only had clothes and a bible. not a lot to worry about...
