Thinking that I was getting too materialistic and self-indulgent, I gave up buying electronics, books, and software for Lent. If anyone ever visited my apartment, that person would know that this is a major sacrifice for an electrophile like me.
Suddenly, in the middle of Lent, I discovered that a company has released an MP3 player for my Palm Tungsten T. Darn it! Now I have to wait until Lent is over.
