Due in no small part to a contest requiring me to link to an excellent blog to possibly win a MacBook Air, I’d like to direct you to Upstart Blogger.

It also has cool themes and shit. Check it.
So I have approximately four dollars until this Thursday, which is the most lovely of days. That of course being payday. I’ve pulled off living on less for longer, however. There was a period of time where I was between jobs, and I got by on eating rice (flavoured with soy sauce) twice a day. I hope I don’t have to return to that state anytime soon, but it’s always good to know I can get by.
