Ok, so I haven’t been doing every week, but this is better than I previously was doing. And pics should be up already also. So anyway.<\/p>\n
Bought a couple albums\/songs off of iTunes<\/a> with some Christmas gift cards I got as well as a free 10 songs I received for filling out a survey.<\/p>\n Death Cab for Cutie – Plans<\/a> Also Heidi bought me Coldplay – X&Y<\/a> for my birthday and I finally got around to ripping my Rusted Root 20th Century Masters disc<\/a> along with The Killers – Hot Fuss<\/a>. Whew.<\/p>\n Beyond that I just celebrate my 31st birthday. What did I do to celebrate, one might ask? I became financially responsible. I finally took to the action to eliminate my annual tax return, invest the money throughout the year instead (between retirement accounts and soon short- and mid-term investments), and overall use my money much more efficiently than I have for the past 13 years. I have TurboTax Online<\/a> to thank for this. After it finally laid out for me what a five year strategy could look like with my current level of income and spending, I decided I would be foolish not to pursue things. Yay me.<\/p>\n A new episode of The Office<\/a> was on last night. The Dwight<\/a> bobblehead was awesome. I am still laughing about it today.<\/p>\n

\nIsrael Kamakawiwo’ole – Over the Rainbow \/ Wonderful World<\/a> (song only)
