A Penny for Your Thoughts, A Dime for Your Dreams

[dotinthesky]

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.

I love his style!

One of the reasons I've been wondering if it really is a good idea for me to go to Spain is that I've been able to save quite a lot of money and I've never had such savings before. It's still only half of what we are advised to have in the bank and I don't know when I'll get a job in Spain or how much I'll be able to make there. I've considered still leaving my apartment but just finding a cheap-ass place somewhere and continuing to work at GJS and at GH for the next year and save, save, save! But I have to go. I can't put this off any more. It took someone kicking my ass to get me out of the country and I don't want to miss this opportunity.
