For the no one who uses livejournal anymore:

My first school paper after a five year hiatus is behind the cut. Read it if you want, comment on it if you can be constructive; this is a rough draft that hasn't been submitted for peer review yet so be nice. God I really hate saying "behind the cut". It makes me feel like a douche.

This spring I decided, upon doing some very painful calculations, to attempt to quit smoking. My math shows that I basically wake up every morning and set $14 on fire; that adds up to $5,110 per year, 14% of my take home salary. The ( Read more... )
