So I tweeted about this already, but today I bought Quantum of Solace as well as N.K. Jemisin‘s Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.
The former because some blog or another had a picture of Daniel Craig kissing a spy’s back, and he had no shirt on, and I wanted to see the scene. Sue me. And the used DVD was less than $5, so at least I’m not paying too much for my salacious interest.
The latter because an author whom I profoundly respect said she had read the book and couldn’t put it down, and then another author whom I also profoundly respect wrote a review at Amazon for it. That was about $10.
All in all, loss of control cost about $15 today.

Look at the picture. How on earth could any straight woman not salivate over that? I have the Jemisin’s book and as soon as it reappears from wherever it’s currently hiding from me, I will read it.
I gots no self-control either.
The price for a lack of self control of the ciggerette just went up in NYC, the
tax has risen by $1.60 per pack. I do admire that Megan used the used goods market to give up self control. An impulse purchaase does not have to mean paying full price.
