My office is near a trader Joes, so on Fridays I go over there with my reusable shopping bags to pick up about $50 bucks in food for the week, plus some frozen lunches. I focus on veggies, par baked bread and meats, almost no snacks, outside of carrots or something.
I don't eat out much, but that's under entertainment. I also stopped drinking a few months ago though, so that really helps. Also the fact that I live in Philly, not NY. But I live in downtown philly where going out can still be expensive.
I just only go out once a week on average, I have no life. Also I'm in the process of training for a marathon, so I don't do much but work, run, and sleep. That's forcing me to watch what I'm eating very closely and that tends to drive me towards less processed lower cost foods.
What's horrible though is that I'm dead serious about the $1000 a month, I'm looking at this and wondering where on earth that money is going to now. (Also, for the record, it should be pointed out that the happy ending massage was a joke)

Fuck, I need to look at my bank statements more closely I'm missing like 1,000 bucks a month.
I actually really love this idea.
How do you short nickels exactly? Crap, you're going to make me read the book, aren't you.
I know, right? I would have hiked the prices all around the world and then just claimed that album pricing was based on an algorithm, and then back off the price hike by 50 percent. But then again I actually am a heartless bastard.
You've put too much thought into this. Hell, your comment is longer than the post.
"... with one a popular member of our digital media faculty..."
Is that he works in digital media the reason they felt a need to insert a typo?
Yeah. I'm stealing that.
Well I was going to mention that but I'd hate for someone to think that I was trying to make David live up to our modern sensibilities about male genitalia size.
Kind of impressed that you haven't been too chewed out on this comment, but perhaps has something to do with you being rather right. I've grown up with some of the most amazing pornography the world has ever known. If I want to see some of the most gorgeous women in the world completely naked it takes about 10 seconds on my iPhone. At the time of these paintings, a man seeing a woman in the buff was bit more of a treasured thing.
That isn't to say that the women, or their bodies, or women today their their bodies aren't beautiful. But in order to evoke the same reaction (out of men at least) that they did in their original era being a bit more sculpted, should we say is helpful.
Also, women get David, and he's ridiculously hot in anytime frame. Why can't men get some similarly hot historical porn too?
Hahahaha, so true! Also though, I'm looking forward to when people start posting side-by-sides of this shot with Barack and Michelle in Hawaii.
Yeah, you likely won't have to worry about having a ghost because of that last comment ... you'll likely go straight to hell for it. But I'm giving you a heart for it anyway.
That's an amazing quote that I'm a little surprised I've never seen before. I think it is the perfect, eloquent counter argument to a great number in the public sphere today.
I would agree ... but I can never really be appalled by an amount of cleavage.
Ha! I can't even spell Carhartt right and I was too lazy to check. I grew up in Montana, though so I understand. But there where all these college kids who moved to Missoula from California or New York to go to school and had never worked a day of hard labor in their life and had Carhartts on and there comes my hate.
And yeah, with that resume I would think it more likely for you to be a log cabin Republican than a bleeding heart liberal.
For Gawker, to find two people who likely wear Carhart unironically and drive pickup trucks so massive they could tow a cattle trailer, because they need to toe a cattle trailer, seems like two more than I would ever expect.
With a name like GucciGucci ... I think you get honorary membership.
I don't me to be an East Coast elitist ... normally ... but when the hell did so many cattle ranchers start reading Gawker?
Those pants also make it pretty easy to tell the small weiner too ... but the gun/pose surely cements the issue.
It's a long path to metrics system ... about 3,280 feet and 10 5/64th inches as I recall.
