I really must cut back
I really must cut back on the weekend spending. I keep forgetting that I'm living on a teacher's salary. It would be okay except that I've also set a goal of being free of all credit card debt by March, so I am trying to really prioritize spending.
But alcohol with friends is so much fun! I had a great time with the other bloggers at this grotty little bar with a catchy name and truly awful tunes. Since I usually go to hipster bars or gay bars, it is funny to see how badly straight people dress and act in normal situations. Living in New York makes it so easy to ignore the rest of the world, it can be a bit jarring when other people get offended over boys kissing.
I also went to the Museum of the Moving Image with friend Scott and friend Sam. We had fun editing scenes from popular movies, although I found it very un-kosher (sp?) of Scott to be editing Babe the pig. I was getting excited about some gifts in the museum shop for my niece's upcoming bday until Scott made the snarky comments about 'gifts from the geeky uncle.' I guess I'll do the safe thing, email her an Amazon certificate. Since I teach some kids in her age group, you'd think I'd know what she wants. Probably wants blingbling.
