My day: Let me show you it.

I woke up early thismorning. On purpose! the_star_fish and I were off to the Booksale at the Williamstown School, which is running today and tomorrow, and which local folks are advised to attend. I spent well over $100. Yes, me, Count von Cheapskate of Cheapsylvania. I am now the proud owner of a two-volume Edward Gorey set, a few coffee table books on things like LotR and the Marx Brothers, a number of comic book collections, an 8-volume Charlie Chaplin VHS collection, and much, much, much, much more. Also, my wallet is empty.
ETA: the_star_fish provides photographic evidence

There's always a tension for me as a humor columnist whenever I feel like being mildly serious about something. On the one hand, occasionally I want to actually make a pointed argument, rather than just mocking things. But at the same time, my column is supposed to be a humor column, so I feel that it ought to be at least partially funny. Striking the balance isn't easy, so I'll let you judge for yourself whether I have succeeded or failed, as I tackle the issue of decriminalizing marijuana.

Today is my last day at work. I am writing this post from work. I'm thinking I should leave early because there's very little for me to do here at this point, aside from gathering my possessions into a bag.


( Also, lately I've been not winning poetry contests, for prizes I don't really need. )

That's all, folks.

I'm done with the 9-5 job.

Further updates as events warrant.
