justifying my spendings

made 2 big purchases this week for myself.
i told my parents about upgrading my DSLR, which costs around $600.  they seemed ok with this expense.
however, i didn't tell them about my espresso machine purchase that's $670...
the main conflict they'll have is where this machine will actually be placed.  it's not small, and the microwave already took most of the counter space available.
hopefully when it's all set up (secretly of course), i won't get yelled at too long.
it is paid and done.  先斬後奏! XD

if you really think about it, i really didn't spend that much, considering my EVA ticket was supposed to be $1500.  i only had to pay $300, so there's $1200 saved.
makes sense, no?

Thoughts

Will be getting my EVA ticket in the next couple days.
Just as I thought, the $200 price hike disappeared after the Elite seat promotion.

On a different note...
Bow tie works extremely well on Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor).
Others, not so much.
And in some cases, makes you judge their fashion taste.
