I had a very nice, quiet and relaxing birthday, except for the going to work bullshit. The Roommate took me to lunch at a sushi buffet. I am a sushi virgin no more. I didn't gross out or get The Ick?, so that's good. She said, "I wish I knew more about sushi to explain it to you." I replied, "You know, this is one of those occasions I think the less I know, the better off I am."

Last night, I had dinner with a friend full of hummus and chicken lavosh shwarma goodness and great conversation. Then I went home for a quiet evening alone. A very peaceful and relaxing evening.

I did have one unfortunate incident during my birthday. My cell phone broke. Not, my cell phone doesn't work. It broke. In two pieces. So for a while I will be mobile phoneless since "replacing broken cell phone" is way low on the list of things to pay for. Way under unpaid bills, car payments and minimal groceries.

I got a couple leads on part time jobs this weekend, so I may be very, very busy soon going from one job to the other in order to make ends meet.

But no worries. I'm not bummed out about it. In fact, I think it will be a good thing. And it's gotta be done.

They no longer have debtor's prison...right?
