Now this is nice. I just spent a fortune on two books that, allow me to declare, I had no intention of buying. I found myself walking into a bookshop and then I was taken by the eeriness of my sentiment; a feeling I often encounter upon seeing titles I have not yet laid my mind on.

I started leafing through the books and biting my lips so hard that the outline of my lipstick became asymmetrical. Nothing too wild for my taste. Then I proceeded to fishing the money out of my neatly tailored purse-wallet and the damage was done.
I even had a little chitchat with the man in charge of the store, he took the liberty of exposing to my humble knowledge the fact that he sells those books for 30% less. I admit I was overjoyed at this bit of intelligence, only it turned out that I had previously bought the books for the same price, from a different store. The irony of it all.

To make up for the sudden imbalance of budget, I decided to take the “How much is my blog worth?” test. Can I ever relate the rapture of seeing that my blog has increased in value? The money is fictional and non-substantial, nevertheless it helps mend this broken pocket one way or the other.
