Dear iTunes,

I bought a song for $1.29 and still had $1.04 from an old gift card. Was it absolutely necessary to bill my credit card $0.25?  Could we have just waited until I bought another song and then billed it all together?  That would have made more sense.

Sincerely,

Danny

Here is my new board:

The contents of my board, in no particular order: 2009 Jeep Compass (driving my parents’ 2004 Liberty right now, need my own wheels!), MacBook Pro (my mother just got one for work – it is amazing!), the Eiffel tower as a symbol for a European vacation and learning French, and money…it makes the world go ’round! Also pictured is an iPhone 3G (put it on the board last July and guess what I got on August 21, 2008!), my Kathy Griffin shrine to the left, and a coupon to California Tortilla.

Sorry for cutting you off.  I wasn’t really paying enough attention while turning.  Hope you’re not too pissed at me.

Dear PNC Bank ATM,
Suck it!  You slapped with a $3 surcharge to withdraw $5 even after I hit the cancel button!

Dear GoPhone,
It’s sucked been nice but I’m sick of you and your inability to do…well, anything, really.  I’m so ready to get my replacement iPhone tonight.  I’ve felt so deprived and disconnected for the past three days.

Dear Top Chef Masters,
I’m excited for your premiere tonight!  Although I will miss Padma and Gail, you look promising and entertaining.  I miss my Wednesday night food porn!

Dear humidity,
Go away.

Love,
Danny

Now that I am freelance/self-employed (which, in this economy, basically means unemployed) I am doing surveys online so that I can still have some sort of income. Apparently, choosing “Entertainment/Media” as my category of employment now means that I am a computer technician. Whodathunkit?

I donated a dollar to cancer research today at the Giant and got this card. I was one zero away from winning $5000! But I guess it’s the donation that counts…

But I won a free Snapple on the other side of the card. :)
