They say that sometimes, when you're hungry, you're just mistaking dehydration for burger lust and that's why people who don't drink enough are contributing to the obesity epidemic (but not, to their credit, the drought). The point being, sometimes you think you want one thing when you actually want another. It comes from an excess of choice in our western world.
Case in point: once I bought a tube of Geranium Leaf Body Balm when what I really wanted was a book of magic realist short fiction. Don't get me wrong, my withered skin was grateful, but this kind of thing happens to people every day. Fortunately, Aesop is leading the fight against such mishaps by converting their Fitzroy shop into a bookstore, selling only hundreds of copies of Seventeen Poisoned Englishmen by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. So, throughout October, if you are on Brunswick Street pursuing a mistaken lust for hand cream, you will not run the risk that I did.
