A Penny for Your Thoughts, A Dime for Your Dreams

I had no idea how bad things were for America until last night, when I watched this terrifying documentary on BBC2: This World: American Time Bomb. I have my first new year resolution for 2009: pay off my credit card by the end of this month and start a hardcore savings account that I'll never dip into. It's ridiculous that I'm in my early 30s and I've got nothing saved.

Kevin and I went for coffee this past Sunday at Elbows cafe, a comfy little place north of Victoria Park. While I read an interview with Seamus Heaney in the Guardian Review, Kevin pulled out his sketchbook and did a drawing:



He's friends with a collective of artists based in Stoke Newington who have put together a blog dedicated to sketches and drawings: sketchbookblog.

Woe for those in America that don't save and have no thrift store skills. I'm sure you girls will be fine. But if you are not, there's that commune in Brasil...
