I think I’ll be the one and only blogger in the world not giving my opinion on the $700 billion bail out rejection. This is because I haven’t quite decided what to make of it yet. When I do, I’ll throw in my meaningless opinion too, because it’s what bloggers are supposed to do.

Instead, I’m going to get excited because I’m growing up in this world. First of all, I am staying late at work most days to finish stuff up. That’s dedication my friends, because evenings are very important to me. This is the first sign that I am becoming An Adult. Secondly, I just bought patio furniture. That’s right, I parted with the precious green stuff to buy a nice little garden table and two cute garden chairs for my lovely west-facing balcony. That is called ‘nesting’, and it’s what Grown Ups do. Now I just need to experiment with the idea of cooking real food and not existing off La Salsa and Jamba Juice. 

It actually just occurred to me in the moment of typing this that perhaps today, with the economy all in a crisis and all, might not have been the best day to buy that furniture, come to think of it. Maybe I should have waited a week or two, made sure I still have a job this time next month. Oh well, too little too late, and if I’m thrown out in the harsh world of unemployment, at least I’ll have my patio table to live under on Santa Monica beach with the other bums.
