your drug is a heartbreaker... my love is a lifetaker

I have just gone through my finances and the situation is dire. not terribly, but I think I just realized I buy a lot of stuff. things I don't need. like I buy coffee before work almost every day... if I cut that out and maybe only get it once a week (because please, people, there's no way I can give up pumpkin spice mochas fo'eva) I would save $20 a week. and I have a coffeemaker at my apartment, so it's not a biggie.

but seriously... I thought I had so much money and I really don't. not enough that if I lost my job tomorrow, I'd be able to live for several months. even with a shitty newspaper reporter's salary, I feel like I make a lot of money, for me at least. I just gotta curb the ridic spending.

does anyone have a last.fm profile? if so, add me. quickchekgrl. I'm listening now, to the weezer station.

today was a sad day. ross had to be put to sleep. I knew this day was coming. we've had him for 12 years, and the vet estimated he was at least two or three years old when we found him... or when he found us, whatever. my dad was joking that I didn't like ross because he often attacked me, but really he was the best cat ever. even last night, when I went home to see him, he was sprawled out on the bathroom floor (he hasn't left the bathroom since he got sick) but when I came in he lifted up his head and started meowing and purring. it was like he was saying goodbye.

that's what I love about sundays

nikki, I haven't heard that song in quite some time. we need to change that. I love sundays.

I made many fine purchases today, including season 4 of the office! that will be my night tonight, and I am very excited.

right now I am at my parents' house and checking out what sweet tunes my dad has on his computer. here is what I found:
1.) the little river band (playing at the citizens' voice 30th anniversary party this october at the woodlands!)
2.) bonnie raitt... haaaaave a heart
3.) linda ronstadt... you're no good you're no good you're no good, baby, you're no good
4.) supertramp... take the long way home
5.) the grass roots! yes! midnight confessions. I still think it's nuts that creed is in that band.
6.) peter fucking frampton. epic. SHOW ME THE WAY.
7.) and from the 'new favorites' collection: green day, goo goo dolls and matchbox 20.
the list goes on. hilarious, john, hilarious.

ha he just walked down here, little does he know I'm mocking his iTunes collection.

ummmm I think I'm going to watch the office now. I think it's weird that I came home with my new purchase and my mom was boiling beets. who does that, besides dwight schrute?!? luci g, everyone. what's up mah nerds?
