The art of not being one with the universe

Went to this warehouse and bought some stuff I needed, like new summer tyres for the bike and brake shoes for same. And some things I can pretend to need, like a toolbox and a sorting box. And, of course, a couple of things that I can claim, with complete and utter conviction, are Very Useful And Handy To Have, but which I have no need for just now, nor soon, like a magnet on a stick and a nifty little multimeter. Not expensive, either. If it was, I couldn’t have impulsed it, could I. 88 kr for a manual-range thing which goes beep and has these needle-probes you can poke people with. Low-budget geek thingy. And magnets on sticks. Telescope sticks. Concealed magnets, disguised as pens. Must have. Quick, pretend they’re useful. My precious!
