Lightsabers is definitely awesome. Noah would be jealous if he could conceptualize having a job and working on a LucasFilm thing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Even with price increases, there is a lot of entertainment value from Netflix. Especially if you use the Instant Watch in your home.
Writing down daily spending and then writing down monthly stuff can let you look with some distance. It made me give up coffee out when it wasn't something amazing. And it made me realize (again) that my cats are not cheap but I'll cut other things happily for them. I won't, however, look at getting another pet when people are looking for new homes for critters.

Art Crawl!!!
Have not been watching the Tour de France this year. For no particular reason.
And I think I heard some thunder! I hope that is the portent of some temperature relief.
And I spent tonight installing a new hard drive in my laptop and then installing the software. And (so far) it's working!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to see if I can get the Instant Watch on my iPod to work over the hospital network. That would be awesome.

I definitely feel that having a budget on paper at the start of the month made me feel like I had more money. And using the envelope system for daily purchases made me very conscious of what I spent money on and took "no, I really can't afford that" decisions out of my hands.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Juan Pablo Montoya?
It's a very cool 'village' on the outskirts of Barcelona. I bought an artwork over there, it's hanging on the wall of the theatre room (along with the Horus papyrus from Egypt and the whirling dervish sketch from Turkey). It was my favourite part of Barcelona after all things Gaudi (which, to be fair, comprises a lot of things).

You put budgeted monthly cash in envelopes, say 1 for groceries, 1 for clothes, etc. Whatever your basic discretionary spending categories are. When the money is gone, your spending for the month is done for that category. I did it weekly and used paper clips to divide out things in my wallet.
Not using credit cards is a very effective budgeting tool.

I love that idea. I could totally do that. Thank you, megan.
