Kozik El Panda (Saved by the bell, again)

Despite minimum wage increasing, I'm still broke as a joke.

Despite being broke as a joke, I still go out to eat at least 3 times a week.

Despite going out to eat at least 3 times a week, and being broke as a joke, I still feel compelled to buy things like this...

Luckily for me, these limited edition vinyl something-or-others were sold out, saving me $70+. Why the hell would I ever even think about buying something like this? It's simple, I like it. It has no practical use, it's really expensive, and I'll be totally happy and healthy without it, but I still want it.

I almost dropped $60 on this guy two weeks ago, before being politely informed by my girlfriend that I'd be much better off if I didn't drop $60 to look like a "bunch of vines." Also, if you follow that link, I have again been saved not only by my girlfriend's honesty, but also by "the bell."

I'm on the verge of beginning a new job that will afford me quite a bit more spending money, which, thanks to the internet, and a burgeoning interest in various artists and useless limited edition frivolities, will go out as fast as it comes in. Expect updates.
