Dude!

So, I got a random refund check in the mail from Charter Communications for $24.84. Something about a credit on my account from where I lived previously. Sure. Whatever you say. Just gimme my money, youknaaimsayin?

What can I get for $24.84? A nice juicy steak dinner (cooked medium rare)? A cute pair of ballet flats? Several bunches of sunflowers? Some Love Spell lotion and body spray? The possibilities are endless. Wait, I think I've settled on it . . . $24.84 may not foot the whole bill (pun intended), but it's a healthy contribution towards a French pedicure.

In economic times like these (sucky) and in an occupational station like the one I find myself in (grad student), every extra buck is like a shining nugget of pure gold.
