Coffee (Chinese Bakery on Essex) .70
Rounds of Drinks at Brooklyn Inn $36.00

Last night Justin and Melissa were nice enough to help me lug my stuff out of R&C's apartment and take it over to Doug's...In return they got some drinks at one of my favorite Brooklyn bars, Brooklyn Inn.We ordered a pizza from Sal's on Court street, which has delicious pizza, Melissa generously kicked down for most of it! My tough girl, I was drunkenly calling her last night as we kicked Justin and Doug's asses at pool, and then played a really cute pair that happened to be on their first date.

Coffee (Chinese Bakery on Essex) .70

Like I said in my previous post, I am tight on money right now, so I have to
be careful. I just paid my security deposit and now have to pay rent on December 1st. I am also just realizing how easy it is to cut out these little things I did on a daily basis that were actually just spending habits. Deprivation can actually be more fulfilling, especailly when I'll be able to reward myself from it!
Today we can celebrate 1 week without cigarettes in my life and in my lungs.

I did nothing exciting today, just worked, and stayed at work until about 8pm, and then went home and cleaned and packed.

**One thing I noticed is I can still enjoy a cup of coffee just as much without smoking a cigarette.

As you can see, I'm still not smoking! I am also spending less money due to the fact that I don't have much of it these days...The movie, Walk The Line was incredible, Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash, an amazing performance. Oh yeah, then we snuck into Jesus Is Magic, Sarah Silverman's movie. Holy Shit man! Saturday I didn't even leave the house until after 10:00pm. HBO on Demand sucked me in again, leading to hours of The Sopranos. Saturday night amounted to a Sunday morning hangover. Somebody (Doug) was really nice on Sunday and bought me all sorts of snacks, eggs benedict, fried chicken, pizza and Thai food(yes, i am recently a pig due to not smoking). We rode bikes, went to the park, and I saw The Squid and The Whale for the second time!
