On My American Dreams (In This Economy)

@MaríaJosé E.H.@twitter Teeth dreams. The absolute worst. I have them a lot, to the point that now, in my dreams my teeth fall out and Dream Me thinks "Oh God, this is just like in all my dreams!." In my last teeth dream, I tried that thing where you tell yourself it's a dream and to just wake up. So I woke up, but then my teeth fell out again because it was a dream inside a dream.

On Do All The Things You've Been Putting Off (Syke Just Do 1 Thing)

I did my one thing, which was just taking a tiny walk to pick up my transcript, but I put it off for like 2 weeks.

On Happy Hour Makes Us Happy

Weirdly, I think that some of the best (read: cheap drinks and foods) happy hours are at chain restaurants like Applebee's or something. Alternatively, when I was in college, there was a place with $5 margaritas that were half alcohol and unlimited chips and salsa.

On Friday Estimate

I agree about waiting for brunch. A couple of weeks ago I went to a restaurant about 10 minutes after they opened, waited in line to put my name on the list, then had to wait an hour to get a table. It totally wasn't worth that. My estimate: I'm going out with some friends tonight, so that'll be maybe $30ish. I have to take my car to the shop; he told me he'd look at it or free, but I can't guess at how much the actual repair could be. So I'm going to try not to spend any other money in case that sucks.

On What's In My Wallet: $39 in Cash, Business Cards and My Parents' AmEx

@pandaonaplane What a disappointment. As a counterpoint, though, the Chipotle near my school has one of these, and I have gotten in on 3 or 4 "free burrito for 10" through my friends. So maybe only drop your business card if you don't mind getting marketed to?

On Somewhat Embarrassing Things I've Done to Save Money

Am I the only person who just asks the server to bring separate checks? Do places in New York not do that or something?
