Anyway, I remember feeling shocked and kind of disembodied and terrified to have a reason, finally, to personally purchase something from the Luxury Goods Store Which Is Also An Interactive Playplace. I remember that I was acting very strangely during the entire process, speaking oddly to the salesperson, kind of terrified to be spending that much money... but I couldn't get myself to lighten up.
