I almost also added “Also get an apartment,” but that should be fairly easy once I obtain a job. I will admit to not having looked with ultimate authority yet, if only because I’ve had to play two shows in two days, both of which I booked before the gravity of my own situation politely slapped me on the cheek. I know I have a lot of lofty goals up here; with any luck, this is the next one I check off.

(Also, for the record, I already have a job; I, of course, being an American with an English Literature degree, need another one to make ends meet. In all likelihood, neither of them will have anything to do with postmodern literature. Kids: Don’t let your friends major in the liberal arts.)
