Shopping Around

Ha ha ha ha! That's hilarious. ZZ and I just read ST's post about the 20 inch G5. The funny part is that we had just left www.apple.com on our own search of the 20 inch G5... kick ass computer!

While on the site we loaded the G5 up with every stinkin' option there was and it came to about $4200. We thought, "WTF? Let's apply for the credit, we have lofty techie aspirations..." We were quickly denied. Both of us. So I went forth looking for a semi-loaded eMac that came to about $1800. Denied. Both of us. Neither of us has good credit. ZZ has a lot of medical bills and really no major purchases under her belt. I, on the other hand, have terrible credit.

What are our options? I mean, it's probably a good thing we weren't approved. The APR is variable between 12.9% and 22.9% and I can see an assfucking in the future with that. Savin' pennies is probably our only option and then buying it in cash.

As I am typing this Grandaddy is singing a song called "Yeah Is What We Had" and ZZ is on the floor behind me counting pennies, nickles, dimes, and Sackajuia dollars she dumped from a Hills Bros. coffee can. (The quarters are in a smaller Yuban coffee can for laundry.) We've saved $35 in change! We're almost to a G5.

No seriously, what are my options? I have a Frankenstein Monster computer. And it's ancient. I wanna make DVDs from my home movies! I wanna cut records! I wanna... I don't know, do cool stuff like Super Turtle and Beck! GPS stuff too. What should I do? I'm sad because I have bad credit and the people at Apple said I'm not good enough for thier nice things.

Peace and Love,
Mungo

PS, tonight ZZ and I were walking into Barne's & Noble to buy, read, and discuss Kokology and it was snowing in the parking lot! She's licking my ears and kissing my neck. A Mungo's gotta go hard to type!
