it is a habit
I had a weird frustration today that discombobulated me much more that it should have (for it is nothing that requires your concern, so no worries), and I got a bit sad, so I purchased some books from Amazon, because it was too late to go to a proper bookstore. They are mostly comics, though one is a book I've wanted for a skajillion years, the Annotated Flatland. These seem like books I might actually be able to read before term is over, maybe. But I don't have the books now! And I can't tell if my satisfaction is being delayed or not!

I bought things on Amazon too! I bought a Dorothy l Sayers audiobook and the CSI: Canterbury Tales book.

Did you get instant gratification? Or will the gratification come when the books arrive? And will it matter, then? I am not very good at this consumerism thing!

I got instant and slightly later gratification when I got an email a few hours later saying my order had been sent, and I hope to get still more gratification when I actually get what I bought! Amazon is great because you get MULTIPLE STAGES of consumer gratification.
