Ramen Noodles at Dollar Store (prawn flavor) .80

So, I went to a New York Knicks game last night! Yeah, it was my first Knicks game. I feel bad, I didn't stay for the whole game, see, sports and me well, I'm just not that into it. The foot long hot dog, the personal pizza and the NY Knicks dancers were exciting, and having some drinks for free at a work related event, not so bad.
Mitch and I went to grab a drink after and stumbled past the Slipper Room where Paco, a friend of Rachel's was hosting his monthly talent show Paco Doubledown. This Paco character is hillarious and the acts were really great. I was supposed to get together and do some tap dancing with Paco and we never got around to it. Maybe in the future...
This Ramen noodle thing is new, bringing it back to the days of being really broke, like "college broke", though in college I wasn't as broke as I am now, how pathetic. So, doing it on the cheap, aside from the massive amounts of sodium, ramen noodles are fucking yummy.

Ugh, what a waste. Another box of hair dye to try and fix the weird color my hair turned from the previous box of hair dye. Why can't I just leave my hair alone? Because I am obsessed. So my hair is red now, but not a good red. It's not good for my skin tone. Oh well. I'll just wait like a week and maybe dye it really dark and try and cover it up. I've been spending a bit more money this week, but it's the "Holiday Season" and who isn't right? It was my first time taking a dance class at Peridance. I took a Limon class with this amazing teacher Geraldine Cardiel.

Saturday was one of my most expensive days in a long time. My phone got wet and the motherboard got ruined, I had to buy a new one. It put me in a terrible mood. Then, Doug and I went to a performance my friend Kelly was in that Saturday night at The Old American Can Factory in Gowanus, Brooklyn, the historically industrial part of South Brooklyn sprinkled with factories.
The performance was called Nice To Understand You A Tangent in Seven Parts. It put me in a much better mood, got my mind off my stupid expenses, and shifted to thinking about how lucky I am to have such creative and wonderful friends in my life. Seeing Kelly perform for the first time in like 10 years really made me so happy too!
