Is it really good to live in a world where one can download Winger's entire catalog at 3:00 in the morning?

That's it. That's all I've got. My addition to the great philosophical questions of the ages.

I haven't done this, mind you. Nor do I personally know anyone who has. For my own part, I tend to confine my 3 am downloading to the musical stylings of such bands as Wham! and perhaps the occasional Rick Springfield track. Scoff if you want, but it's impossible to be in a bad mood when listening to "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go," even if it's only because of the delicious irony of it all. I also download stuff with a little more musical credibility than that, but really, Wham! is better than Prozac.

And when you mix Wham! and Prozac, well, that there's a party.

But I digress.

Just wondering if having so many things available for instant gratification is a great idea.

I'm IMing The Suz right now, and I'm at the kitchen table, and she's at her desk-- AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE KITCHEN. Don't kid yourselves. Our kitchen is pretty small. There's a measure of hilarity in this option, but is it really necessary?

Perhaps only if she wants to download Winger songs in the wee hours of the morning.
