Well, here we are. We are, by my count, at the end of my 11,324th day on this plane of existence. Hooray.
Not that I have anything particularly profound to say about that...
Anyways, my birthday was a non-event. I went and bought myself two presents: Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest For Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky (yes, I'm a nerd) and a new Betta fish. Sure, I'd rather have a dog, a cat, a bird, or, yes, even a new iguana, but considering how rootless my existence has become, I really have no business taking in any new pets. But I figure, in terms of commitment, maintenance, and excitement, a Betta fish falls somewhere between houseplant and brine shrimp. It's something that amuses me, which right now, is definitely something I need.
And, as usual, Mom admonished me for spending money: "When you've got bills to pay, you really shouldn't be wasting money like that..." Blah, blah. Thanks, Mom. I didn't realize what an impact $25 spent on my birthday would have on my long-term economic future. Especially considering that $20 of that was Dad's birthday present to me.
Long story short, I need a job and I need to get the hell out of here.
