Paraesthesia

I'm not sure why it is, but Star Wars is like lube for my wallet. I am compelled - like at the soul level - to buy Star Wars toys. Not just any old merchandise, mind you, but action figures and vehicles.

I've seen episode III twice since Friday. This weekend I bought like five figures and two of the vehicles. I'd probably have bought more had the store carried the rest of the vehicles. And to be honest, I have no idea why. It just makes me happy.

Just seeing the opening Star Wars logo and hearing the fanfare makes me smile. I think that, combined with the fact that I never really had any Star Wars toys growing up (and those that I did have got sold out from under me at a garage sale) sort of adds up to me buying toys I probably don't need but really, truly want.

I saw more on Amazon that I want but I realize I should probably not indulge much more. Jenn's already told me to stop buying the toys. But I'm an addict! Just one more figure!
