A couple of weeks ago, at the Brooklyn Book Festival, I had the honor and privilege of being present at not only the readings/signings of Bored To Death creator/writer Jonathan Aames, but the one and only Analrapist Dr. Tobias Funke, aka David Cross.  As Ryan has mentioned, he’s been making

Where is the best place to put extra money right now? – TD

Extra money?! Woohoo! Yeah! I know some of you reading this are thinking, “dang, that would be nice to have some ‘extra money,’ and if I had some I wouldn’t have any trouble thinking of what to do with it.”

What is “extra” money? Is it the $10 you have left at the end of the night that you didn’t think you would have? Is it the money beyond what you needed to cover your regular monthly expenses?

For those of you who don’t know, Equinox is one of the higher-end gym chains in the New York city area.  I belong to Crunch, but after going on a sort of yoga sampler for the past month or so (going to different yoga studios every couple of days), with
