Out of character
Lately, I've been finding myself wanting strange things. Things that, historically, I've held strongly negative (or strongly indifferent, which is just as bad) opinions of.
No, I do not want an iPod, or any other Apple product, but I fear that may be next. (When pigs fly. Which is looking a bit realistic at the moment, from where I'm sitting.)
1) I want a boat. Most of my life I've not wanted anything to do with water-related hobbies. No fish tank. No pool. No water skis. No boat. To me, anything water-related is so much harder to take care of (and to keep clean) than anything land-related that it destroys the hobby. Nearly by definition, a thing that is wet is already much dirtier than a thing that is dry. Water leads to slimy stuff, and to rust. At least if the thing is dry, it may be dusty, but at least it isn't a slimy, rusty mess.
Yet I find myself wanting a boat because, well, I love sitting in the harbor on the water. I imagine, if I had a boat of my own, I'd also go out into the lake with it. Having a boat gives you something to do every weekend. You don't even need friends or a significant other to go out on the boat. Ideally, I'd have a boat with enough room for the dogs. (Scratch that: my boat would be required to have room for the dogs.)
2) I want a web cam. I don't have much to say about that. I used to have one, but I gave it away. If I get a web cam again, I don't ever, ever plan to use it for work, or even chatting with people. (I don't chat on the phone; why would I chat on the computer?) It's just my exhibitionist nature, I guess, to want to have a camera on me, and my office, at all times. I don't know why this has come up again for me.
3) I find myself liking the Escalade. Or, "Excesscalade", as I call it. In that weird, pearly white color. It's a ridiculous vehicle (c'mon, it's the Tony Soprano-mobile, though I think the Tony Soprano poor taste, starting with their McMansion, kinda went over the heads of many viewers). It probably gets negative gas mileage. It's the pimpmobile of SUV's. But I like looking at cars and I keep noticing those Excesscalades in that pearly white color. I probably lust after the Excesscalade as many men lust after skanky looking ladies. You know it's wrong, but damn, they're hot. I will not get one. But it's OK to look.
