Häagen-Dazs Raspberry & Vanilla Sorbet & Yogurt Bars: assuring that my not-so-good day turns into a not-so-bad one, for only $1.99 a pop. Consumerism, I love thee. · 2:44 PM ·

I generally have no problem with tipping - if the waitress rocks, she gets 25%, but if the service is horrible, $0.02 works - but for non-food service personnel, I'm clueless.

But now that I know the meaning and the significations (as well as the legend and the history), I'm all about the Maneki Neko! · 12:36 AM · 

Make your own miniature Zen garden, with an estimated material cost of $2. Because, you know, you should feel bad paying $48 at yuppie stores. · 2:56 PM ·
