I don't know what it is, but the closer I get to being completely broke, the more money I spend. The rationale goes something like this:

"At some point very soon I will have no money at all, and it doesn't really matter to me exactly how soon that is, so I might as well go to Round Table to buy a bunch of pizza and beer and read Catch-22."

That's what I did last night. It cost me $12.50. I have $730.00 and a $695.00 rent check floating around out there waiting to be cashed at any moment. Life is fun.
