Divisadero Art Walk

I’m a festival whore– I love them! And even worse if it’s an art festival. I always end up spending too much money; between my too-many purchases and the overpriced food and drinks, my expression suddenly shifts from a full-teeth grin to an eye-bulging frown once I finally realize my

Testing One, Two, Three…

Damn You, Debt!

Debt– it’s a terrible thing, and yet so many of us broke-asses are victims to this rather annoying plague. What to do? What to do? Last week, I was late for one of my credit card payments. I kept getting phone calls from a bizarre area code, that after I

Five Texts that Need to Stay the HELL Out of My Inbox

Okay, okay,…maybe that’s a little bit harsh. BUT STILL! I’m freakin’ broke here, dude. You’re wasting my valuable text message space on something so stupid, so innocent, and so lame. Please, do understand that I totally get when one-worders are necessary, but most of the time it’s unnecessary. My text messaging
