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.

TRUE! No, seriously, now that I know how easy it can be to save (if you have a decent job, of course) I'll save again ASAP. It's important, yo!

Life, for instance, a client of mine is about to put money into Apple stocks again. I wish I could do this but I just don't have enough liquid assets to put in stocks right now.
