• Impulse Shoppers Anonymous

  Hi, my name is Josh, and I am an impulse shop-oholic. Whenever I wait in a register line, I can't help indulging in impulse-ohol. When I was at Borders bookstore, I saw this little pine bonsai kit. I thought, "hmm, I always wanted to try bonsai." So, in a single economy-bolstering move, I laid down the money not only for my books, but also a 3x3x1.5 inch box. I was wired. I could not wait to get home and crack open that tiny kit (the books lay forgotten). I opened it up and it said to leave the seeds in a wet paper towel for seven days to germinate. I said, "alright, I'll do it tomorrow." That was about three weeks ago. I have not touched them since. Now, I'm eyeing a miniature desk gong and/or pocket voodoo set. God bless America.
