Yosemite again

2nd Yosemite visit in two months. I didn't stay in the camp ground this time and it made such a lot of difference. I am of the opinion that nature cannot be truly appreciated in the comfort of a queen sized bed, cable T.V, mini fridge, microwave, stove and deck chairs. It has to be smoke fire, hard ground and thin tents and shared bathroom. There seems to be a inverse relationship between how comfortable the accommodation and the depth of the experience. But that is just my opinion.

Yes, I am very opinionated. I think Coach--the handbag brand--is utterly stupid and disgusting. On my way back from Yosemite back to the city, we stopped by the outlet mall. People were rushing, grabbing handfuls of Coach handbags. Boyfriends were holding three, four, five of those handbags, while excited girlfriends went from one Coach shelf to the next. It was honestly quite nauseating. Of course, I was no saint myself. I simply seated myself outside on a bench while my girlfriends shopped. I simply succumbed to the thing called Nintendo D.S.

This is not the first time I've noticed this, but I am not a very girly girl. And the lengths and extremes people go, and the money they spend on these things puzzle me. Well, as long as they are happy I guess. But if you ask me, I don't think these things are important.

Life too short for me to waste my time on shoes and handbags and looking good. Pointless video games, however, is another matter. I am, of course, perfectly happy to waste my life on that. (Hypocrite)
