A Very Brief Post

As you can see, I took care of the big space at the top of my blog by changing my template, although it appears that the real culprit was the oversized picture of Superman I had on here. I unfortunately had to delete the "Jennifer has Super Powers" entry, which was one of my favorites.

If you hadn't noticed, Joanna has been kicking my butt on the updating of the blog. Stop by her site if you get a chance.

I'm on my way to pick up comics in a few minutes (Justice Society of America, Thunderbolts, and Welcome to Tranquility are eagerly anticipated this week). I have had to make some tough cuts, but I think that I will make my budget this month.

What I am about to say has to be understood in context. Most of you know that I can be a somewhat extravagant person. I'm like most of us in the fact that I like getting what I want, but there is also something in me that is kind of digging the restraint aspect of my life under the budget. When I figured out that I could live in my comic book budget, I got a tremendous sense of accomplishment. It is interesting to consciously choose to live beneath your means, to look at your life and divide the essentials from the superfluous things that clog up our lives. So, my question to you is what are your essentials? What could you live without if you really had to? In the picture above, you see a couple of my essentials.

Have a great day!
