What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Actually, I feel really lousy -- headachey, exhausted, and stuffy-headed. I think I'ma take a nap. Because I can.
Then you will be sleep-debt-free as well.

Clinton getting the shaft -- especially while Obama received it for, basically, Not Being Bush -- is ludicrous.
So much this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would not say no to either of those things, although the plan for tonight is to hit more stores for boxes and tape. (I'll pay for the tape.)

I was debtfree once. Now I have a mortgage, a car loan, and a new student loan. Ah well.
My total indebtedness is something less than $120K at this point, though... one thing about taking on a mortgage that I didn't expect is that it reset my level of OMGWTFDebt.

Even though I'm planning to spend my newly freed-up cash on a GIANT ROBOT WITH FLAMETHROWER HANDS TO DO MY BIDDING???

Okay, a little trepidation.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I gleefully voted for Obama (though not in the primary), and I am thrilled he's our POTUS.
But I honestly cannot BELIEVE that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after doing...jack and shit.
Yeah, you'd think that the requirements for earning that honor might be a little more stringent than "hasn't antagonized every other government in the world while butchering the English language."
I'm a supporter and all, but he hasn't accomplished enough to earn a supermarket opening yet, much less a Nobel Peace Prize.

A mortgage is, in my mind, a different category of debt than consumer debt. I don't totally agree with people who say that buying a home is an investment, at least, not in the way that it's usually meant -- and I can explain why in more detail later, after I nap -- but it's still a different kind of debt than credit cards.
I also feel that way about student loans.
