fajrdrakoI just now got some advertising email from eBay with the heading "explore eBay Canada your way" and then it listed the things they thought I might want: cell phones, hockey cards, lingerie, sleeveless dresses, flip flops.
It seems extraordinary to me the way I so little want any of the things on their list. I sometimes fear I am more materialistic than I want to be, when I think of all the things I want1; but really, there are an extraordinary number of things in this world that I don't want and can't imagine wanting. Which is good, on the whole.2

1 Which can pretty much be summed up as: books, more books, comics, some DVDs, and travel.
2 This being said, I constantly surprise myself with the new things I find to love. Who'd have thought, a year ago, that I'd want - and get - red Converse shoes?
