love and money

So it's been a while since I last posted.  Been a busy week, lemme tell ya.

Finally set up my first bank account that didn't have a parent's name attached to it last Friday.  Was pretty awesome, I feel all... adultish.  Whoa.  Meanwhile, I also caught wind of my work study position lasting two weeks longer than I was worried it would, so that's cool.  I finally have a little bit of expendable income, which is a MASSIVE change of pace from say, the past two years.

Speaking of money, I've been moving to a new apartment (hence the lack of posts here) and I'm looking to sell a whole bunch of stuff.  So if you're in the Worcester area and want some swag, keep an eye on this page over the coming week, and I'll update with what I'm looking to get rid of.  If anyone wants a fat-assed 34" HDTV, I'm looking to get rid of it for (hopefully) $300ish.

Recently learned just how insanely cost-efficient it is to have your own washer and dryer.  I bought a 96-loads bottle of detergent for $9.99.  That's 10.4 cents a load.  Compare that to the Jim Dandy cost of $2.25 a load, and it really adds up.  Especially when you've got about 20 loads of laundry you've been not doing because you knew a washing machine was in your near future.

Oh, I also went to a wedding this weekend.  It's only the third wedding I've ever been to, and the second for a friend.  My { Empty Set } comrade Edmund "EJ" Massa and Anna Vukalovic got hitched out in Stockbridge this past Saturday.  Latin mass (which despite being raised Catholic, taking 13 years of Catholic schooling, and subsequently "dropping out" of the whole religion thing, was still kind of woah), big reception in an outdoor tenty thing.  Us SCPers were all together in the back corner (because come on, an open bar means we might start humping the cake, for all we know), and got down with our bad selves.

I may have gotten a dozen of us to dance to Cotton-Eye Joe.

It was righteous.

Viva la vida,
