this whole economy thing is really worrying me. i have one luxury and that's glassblowing. and i know i should sacrifice it, but i really don't want to. i was looking forward to signing up for my next class in may and it just hit me as we were eating dinner this evening that it would be really foolish of me to keep spending my money on glassblowing ( Read more... )

The value of the US Dollar falling would only make taking a glass blowing class a poor idea if you were paying for it in Euros but still being paid by your job in US Dollars. This is probably especially true because glass isn't a terribly expensive commodity. Unless you think you're going to lose your job in the next 3 months, glass blow away ( ... )

I clearly spent too long writing my comment if it's longer than you're actual post O.o

that was both hilarious and really informative at the same time. i appreciate the time you spent into commenting!

when i say that glassblowing is my one luxury, i really mean it. i do bring my lunch to work already (except on fridays when i buy a cajun turkey sandwich that is SO good) and i still live at home and my parents haven't asked me to pay rent yet. so i'm able to save a lot, but i guess i just get worried that i'm not saving enough. art is such an expensive hobby and for me it's more than a hobby, so it's more than expensive.

i think the last time i took a bath i was 8 years old. or younger. it's just one of those things that i see people in the movies do like whistling for a cab. i wish i could do that.
