And other things we do to procrastinate...

Ooh -- that was too easy!

I just bought and downloaded my first song through the iTunes Music Store while I sit and study in the library. I'm up to the riveting adventures of "Security for Costs" in my Civil Procedure summary, and was listening some music when I started browsing the online store using the school's VPN network. I played the video for Sarah Harmer's song Almost and remembered how much I enjoyed it when Natalie and I went to see her play at the NAC earlier this fall. I played it again and again, and decided, "aw, what the heck? Why don't I just buy this one little song?"

And so I did.

As intoxicatingly easy and fast as that was, I don't see myself using the Music Store a lot, however, since I have only a measly dial-up internet connection at home (eep) and because I'm a poor student and can't afford music. But when I'm employed next year and have good internet at home... well, let the Homer-esque drooling begin.

Mmm... instant gratification...
