Budget & Bewbz

Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2009 - 12:00 a.m.

The pantry is now loaded down with student staples such as mac and cheese and ramen.

We are on a budget and would very very very much like to see the state of California pull its head out and get straightened out about its own budget.

I'm pretty sure that if I could print legal tender and take money from other people, I could stay out of debt.

No idea as to why my state is having such a problem keeping a sensible set of books.

Sigh.

Anyway, one of the few things we still indulge in here is chocolate.

John found out something pathetic last night, having to do with my favorite, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

He bought a bag of them for four dollars. He also bought two eight-packs for a dollar fifty apiece.

When we cut open the bag and counted what we received for that four dollars -- we counted fourteen cups.

The two eight-packs make sixteen cups, for only three dollars.

This sucks, but at least now if the sweet stuff stays in the budget, we'll know how to purchase it.

Dinner was great last night, though; we had lasagna and sourdough bread.

The little frozen brick of lasagna fit perfectly into the toaster oven and came out just fine despite the fact that I jerked the plastic completely off of the top instead of merely poking holes to vent.

The plastic top was replaced by aluminum foil, which lengthened the cooking time to about fifteen minutes past the time recommended on the box, but it still turned out really well.

Finally, boobies boobies boobies NOT SAFE FOR WORK boobies boobies boobies NOT SAFE FOR WORK...

I found a pictorial of some topless British celebs, and there's even a halfway decent pic of Amy Winehouse, who seems to have gained weight and is looking like she'll qualify for the 27 Club after all.

Okay, that's it. Have a good Wednesday.
