stonebender and I have this thing where we go "shopping". That is, we go to Netflix, or our record club site, or bookstore site, and we pick a bunch of stuff we like and add it to our queue/wishlist/whatever. Then we don't buy it, but we feel like we've gone shopping. I like it that someone else shares my weirdness in this way. I just spent a half hour or more playing with my Powell's wishlist, and I feel great, without having spent a dime.

(Not sure why doing this doesn't make me feel poor, but leafing through catalogs does. Maybe because with books and Netflix and stuff, I know I'll eventually buy the stuff, but with catalogs, it's often stuff I'll never spend the money on.)
