cash flow update

first, what had initially been planned as my triumphant return to making pretty good money for doing pretty much nothing at all, well, it transmogrified from two days of "work" to two hours. that's exactly 10% of the money i'd expected to make and approximately 530% more time to spend money. MTV shoulders the blame. alone.

but then the tide turned. the brackish, polluted, east river tide that i sometimes imagine being able to smell through the diesel exhaust that cakes my windows and my alveoli, it turned.

i made a quick 40 bucks helping roommate-timmy remove scaffolding from inside his boss's loft. instead of appreciating the easy cash (only about a half hour of work), i mostly just thought about how nice it would be to live in a place that needed scaffolding in place for work to be done on it - on the inside.

and now i've shaved my beard.

i did it to make money. two hours from now i will be bartending some sort of fashion/magazine party. and i need to look pretty. so, finally, i was given enough of a catalyst to go and remove my fur. it was starting to make my head hot. but back to the point, it's $150 plus tips for three-ish hours of work, so...

and i swear, hamburgers and lightning bolts will pay off in the end.

hamburgers and lightning bolts.

and muppets.
