Adding to the English Dictionary

Coined by the brilliant minds of my roommate Stephanie and me:

ploppelganger: a person that holds great resemblance to another person, but is a less cute version.

eg: "whoa... i saw your ploppelganger today and thought.. what the hell happened to you?"

Boardwalk Empire... TONIGHT!

I feel like I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.



Michael Pitt makes me as cray-cray as a hormonal 16 year old.

eight.dollar.days: Well, I promised Jill Easy I would post something ...

I got a shoutout from my buddy Terri Lynn (endearingly known as TL) and I wanted to to share the love by giving a kudos to her. She's a great writer and she's doing good things for the world.. Peep her blog by clicking on our drunk lil faces from last weekend's festivities at Vancouver's Distort Fest!

Rollin' with my homies




JEASY'S GOLDEN RULES FOR FINANCE

- If you don't have a piggybank, get one, NOW. I just got $30 out of pennies. Don't let that stuff go to waste!
- Get automatic deductions off your paycheque into a savings account (whether it be TFSA, RRSP, etc). You won't even miss the $, because it'll be gone the day you get paid.
- If you have the option, get a share plan with your employer. That also is deducted off your paycheque and you won't miss it at all. If they're partially matching you, that's like free money. What do you have to lose?

What it comes down to:

You don't miss money that you never see, as long as you have a budget. Therefore, get that $ out of your possession as quickly as possible. That includes pennies in your pocket, or the $20 bill you just got from your grandma. Put it in a jar, or a locked savings account. You will thank yourself when you decide to go on a huge trip, buy a car, or whatever it is you like to spend money on.
