Keep eating at OJ's and you'll need more spokes.
Actually most spokes aren't terrible to repair yourself - just have to make sure you get the right length and go at it with a spoke tool and a lot of patience when truing the wheel. That said there's always one wheel (usually your first) that you really ###### up and so perhaps the OJ's route is best!
Actually I've found that spokes, because they're always in and out of compression/tension as you ride, do definitely get "tired" and sometimes a group will fail within a relatively close period of time. Mind you that was primarily with some bikes I'd ridden a lot through crap conditions (and a few winters).
