I Am Apparently 80

Because I threw my back out.

Grace and Her Evil Grin

It's a little evil, right? Or maybe just enthusiastic. And ADORABLE, hello.

My Riches Are Immaterial

Okay, I don't think it's a big secret that I don't have a ton of money. The Citibank ads kept me going for a while, but New York has a way of sucking your savings. To staunch the flow, I decided to set up a monthly transfer from my checking to my savings. I decided to divert $35.

Typing that, I realized the true pathetic fallacy of heroically saving $420 per annum and upped it to $50, because $600 is sooooooo much more. At least it's compounded, although I can't tell you to how much because I forget how to do math.

Whatever. I'm also setting up* an IRA!

Woot Woot

What? It's summer. You thought I'd spend it blogging?

The weekends have been swell lately, with sun and picnics and meats cooked outdoors on open flames. The McCarren Pool Parties are in swing; there's kickball in the park; Dan and I had some really good Japanese this past weekend; Harry Potter 7 is finally in my hands!






I'll be back later.

(I stole all of those pictures).

I've Moved To Springfield

Well, I was wrong. Kind of. I guess I will remain unsurprised, because the President has commuted Scooter Libby's sentence, and he will not set foot in jail!

I know lots of things irritate me, and I'm vocal about them, but this really, really pisses me off. Isn't the purpose of a fall guy to, you know... fall?

I, just... I'm just looking forward to 2009.

Kind of.

Ew

On the train on the way home, a dude stood next to my seat, playing with himself under his sweatpants. He stepped to the door as I got up for my stop and said something indistinguishable but most likely gross.

I wish I'd stepped on his foot but I just flipped him off, which is kind of a cop-out but the best I mustered on short notice.


I...

...sometimes I am less than enamored with public transportation.
