“Pay your rent, pay your bills, pay the doctor for your pills - So you can work another day, as life slips away” - Quasi

I’ve been working on getting rid of a lot of “stuff” that I have. Getting rid of DVD’s rather than buying more, getting music digitally rather than going down to Amoeba, giving away my PS2, etc. However I got paid for a merch design I did for Wilco and I went on a little spending spree. What’s that? You don’t care?! Well I’m going to tell you what I bought anyway! Here goes…
• First I got a Road Bike.
• Then of course I had to get it tuned up and buy new chain rings for it.
• Next I totally needed to be able to carry things while I ride so I bought a bag from Bailey Works.
• I’ve been talking about doing a podcast for a while with Jonah Ray, so I bought a USB mic.
• Jeff Soto is one of my favorite artists, I even have a tattoo of one of his paintings. He is putting out a limited edition calendar/zine so I had to pre-order it.
• A while ago I had registered BenGoetting.com but never renewed it. I’m lucky there aren’t too many other Ben Goetting’s out there (or they just aren’t computer savvy enough to own their own domain) so it was still available. I had to re-register it so I’ll always have MY domain (of course as you can see it just re-directs straight back here so don’t get too excited)

That’s it. I’m broke again. I think I made some nice purchases though. Oof.
