No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Occupy Wall Street seems to be gaining traction. I saw pictures of Boston and LA protestors.

I'm wondering if it's going to become a full-blown near-riot eventually, or if they'll get tired and it will peter out. I'm starting to lean toward the former, and worry for NYistas.

Tomorrow's Monday. Nobody riots on Monday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, 700 people were arrested in New York last night, so.

Best Occupy Wall St. tweet I read said, "Zero bankers arrested for purposely wrecking the economy, 1000 people arrested for speaking up about it."

Oh, and what I actually meant to post was that if people were going to riot, wouldn't it have been then?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

There's apparently going to be an Occupy NOLA, but they're in the hood instead of the business district. This was the subject of much hilarity at the neighborhood Saints gathering today.

On the cleanliness thing, it is crazy how much better I feel when I walk in the kitchen and see a cleaned off kitchen table and shiny sink.

Oh, and also -- about the thing where Citibank isn't going to charge for debit use? It looks like they are going to start charging $15/month if you aren't carrying $6K in the bank with them. So I guess they don't need to.

Nice. Shouldn't that ... be the other way around? Argh.

I'm liking my nice small local bank more and more.

I just can't change banks right now, but I'll need to, soon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

changing banks is such a pain in the ass too.
