I am obsessed
I know I'm supposed to be writing about art and whatnot, but I cannot stop fixating on the economy. I mean, I know only the bare bones about what's going on, but it all makes me anxious. There's not even much reason for me to BE anxious; even if the gallery I work at were to go under, I still have my meager little stipend (for the next year, at least). But anxious I am. I see pictures of the Great Depression (come on, you were thinking it, too) and wonder how people lived through it. Am I going to have to put on a coat and hat and wait in a huge line for a handful of soup? Am I going to have to go to California and pick peas with my seven children (2 cats, 5 pairs of shoes)? WILL I HAVE TO SELL MY BOOKS?! Ahhh.

Yo, girl, I've been feeling the same way. I can't even tell if what my wallet has been feeling these days is because I work at a non-profit and live beyond my means or if things are really just getting too expensive... but as I read articles about how America has stopped spending quite so much as a people, I can't help but think that yeah, I'm spending much less than I used to. Scary stuff.
OK, that may be my single favorite thing ever done with photoshop.
If you have to become a West Coast agricultural laborer, let us know when you'll be in town for the late apple harvest! We have a guest room! And a shower, which you'll definitely need after all summer in the fields.
