Don't Shop When Starved

Two right shoes.

That's right, I spent $75 dollars on two left shoes. This is a direct result of shopping on an empty stomach. Oh, yes. I checked the box. I tried on the shoes. But somewhere between trying them on, and taking them home, I ended up with two left shoes.

This devastates me for 3 reasons:

1. I cannot wear my shoes.
2. I cannot wear my shoes.
3. I cannot wear my shoes.

You see, these weren't just any shoes. These were Nike+. The amazing (probably useless) creation from the geniuses at Apple and and the engineers at Nike. The orgasmic combination is supposed to take my workout (stop laughing) to the next level. I could run (again, stop laughing) with these magic shoes and sensors would tell my new iPod Nano how far/fast I've run. Then, if that weren't enough, during my workout (OK, get it all out. Just laugh it up, asshole.) the voice of a gentleman would whisper in my ear how awesome I am for working out.

Being a full fledged member of the Apple cult, I was very proud of today's kill until I realized I couldn't eat it. And if there's anything I learned today, I cannot function when I'm starved. Albeit literally, or technologically.

Tomorrow I return to jungle of suburbia (read: mall) to get what is rightfully mine.
