Desperation/Consumerism

Done did it again.
MY EXPLANATIONS:

1. CAR REPAIR:
My car got hit on Westchester Ave. and Waters Place around 2:50 pm by an MTA Truck (says an eyewitness). The bumper got completely torn off and I had to wait for the cops from the 25th precinct for 3 hours. They are huge douchebags. My mom and dad actually both showed up to console me (I just bought this fucking car on my credit card- need it for work and to get to the subway). The hilarity in this is that they rarely see one another. Instead of yelling at each other, my father yelled at me and my mom fell asleep in the car listening to the radio. I'll take the compromise, thanks. So, I drove home with my back seat collapsed and my bumper sticking through to almost my shoulder. Two guys gave me business cars for their shop. One was driving a tow truck. One guy asked me "whaaa happened that thing get hit" and I told him that A DRUNKEN PIGEON LANDED ON IT AND THE LOAD WAS TOO MUCH TO BEAR. I fucking hate the Bronx, hate cops, hate having cars out of commission, hate calling my dad in times of crisis.
Estimated repair costs: Arm, Leg, Health -5.

2. Melvins:
Didn't get any merch, but I did put more on my metrocard than I should have. Tisk Tisk. GOOD NEWS: on top of seeing Dillard and Dunn play with the melvins, I'm sitting around st. marks eating the crappiest pizza known to man, when who do I see? THE BRO FROM OBITUARY. WHAT?
Estimated cost: 35 dollars, give/take. Health - 3.

3. Victoria's Secret:
Swimsuit. Bikini, actually. God only knows why I must be closest to naked when I feel closest to the sun. I'm supposedly going away this summer, but like everything else, including the huge hole in my wall and everything wrapped in plastic: "are things really going anywhere?"
Estimated Cost: 45 dollars. Health +1
Estimated Delivery Time: Mid-Week

4. Anthropologie:
Really that tank top was fucking darling, and I'll be damned if my mind lapsed from the "I'll never wash my clothes, fuck off, same black t-shirt and jeans everyday, bitch" to "seriously, isn't that the cutest thing to ever live and breathe in cotton fibers?" I'm disgusted. I'm repulsed. I've got a wee bit of cash, step off.
Estimated Cost: $40. Health +1

5. Victoria's Secret: Revenge of the Secret:
I needed a bra. Titties be going every which way like someone with wall eye. Okay, embellishment......hyperbole. There was also lingerie wash that had been discontinued and I had to buy it because I used to wash all my bras in it. I even took it cross country when I went to Cali that one time! My mother flipped a shit and started saying: "We'll only use this for special occasions!"
Deferred Cost after Wallet Massage of Companion: $6.00 Health +1

Let's go home:

6. Vans Era's.
Because I don't have two pairs already. I'm somewhat of a Vans Collector. I wear them every single day. The guy from 99x knows me (and knows I'm a window shopper if anything). Every season I kick it off by getting a pair. Last season I didn't do that. I'll wear my slip ons with wool socks into late fall. It's that bad. I used to be on sneaker forums, as well as Vans Vault, looking up all this stuff. It started with a pair of Sk8 Hi's I bought off Ebay. Now look at me! This was a pretty practical sneaker decision. White canvas with some dark red piping. Eras are more comfortable than classics. My black slip-ons are slowly biting the dust. These are versatile in look and appropriate usage for different events. Can I justify this more? Sure, when I get them, there will be photos. For the record: my favorite pair of eras are my Joel Tudor surf style neon dealies commemorating some Vans anniversary or something.
Estimated Cost: $54
Estimated Delivery Date: Monday/Tuesday

7.
My feet are fucked up.
YOGATOES.com Okay, I am a complete sucker. I've broken a lot of my toes and some haven't healed so well. I have a forming hammertoe, bunions run on the wasp side, and all my shoes hurt me except Vans. Eventually, my pinkie toe will bore a hole in the side of my shoe, and that will be all. "As with any exercise, you must be careful" the website says. I had a 15 dollar off coupon and I don't want foot surgery. I read up on these and they are preventative and corrective. Its like a jelly sleeve with teeth for your feet. Hell, I can't describe it. Just know they are somewhat ridiculous looking. Thanks goes to: The back of New York Mag, Fitness, and AM New York.
Estimated Coast: $42 (!!!! and that's with coupon)
Estimated Delivery: Late in the week.

I also bought some Hunter running shorts. I forget how much those were but I used a Barnes and Noble gift card. I need to buy a book or too, but firt things first: Car and Finals.
