Responsible Decision-Making

So I'm sitting here doing research for the course I'm TA-ing on Darfur, and thinking: I need a new computer...I'm going to go buy one for like $900 (two of my closest friends in Cairo, actually basically the only two lol, have just bought good, new laptops for less than $1000), and then I realized that it was low blood sugar (I woke up at 10AM and it's almost 6:30PM and I haven't yet eaten) that made me transform a cell phone search into a lap top search, and I need to shut up, go eat some pizza, and move on.

That said, I'm not sure how I'll make it through the rest of May without a computer, since I'm presenting two papers at a conference in Jordan in June that will require a LOT of work between now and then.

Glam wants a new laptop, so I supposed I could buy one and then resell it to him for like 75% of the price, and thereby not lose too much money, but I need to think about this after I eat something...and buy a cheap-but-functional phone.

AH!
