Dear all,

from now till 2004, if you see me withdraw cash at any ATM, feel free to throttle me. =) I'm supposed to be exercising fiscal restraint, plus I've been paid back for the Swingles Concert (review thereof coming soon...or maybe not if I'm not free). So the cash I have on hand should last till end-Dec, even including prezzie-buying.

Which reminds me: since this is marks the first year of my financial independance, I'm of half a mind to buy Christmas presents for people. But presents are like cards: people feel insulted if you've left them out, however unintentionally. If I do go ahead and embark on prezzie-buying (gasp! this late in the season! when things are super-ex!) I need advice, help or better yet, a guided tour of Orchard Rd. =P
