Entry tags:how do i get to cambridge?, money, not having brown dress shoes, roflcon, weekends

I'm posting from my bed right now. The only reason I woke up is because it's so sunny outside, which is an infinitely nicer way to wake up than by an alarm clock at 6AM. I have absolutely no plans for this weekend, which is also sort of nice. There's a lot I have to do around the house.

Lately I've been thinking how convenient it would be to have a credit card. I swore off them in 2001 when I maxed out my 'Student Mastercard' and they upped my limit, only for me to max it out again. Since I just started a new job, and never received the last paycheck from my previous job, I have no money but have a really long laundry list of things I need to buy:

-Brown dress shoes (I have NONE, I'm really more of a black shoe person)
-Work clothes that can double as transition-to-spring clothes
-Peat moss and a hoe (to prep my soil for sod)
-Sod ($$$!)
-Plants (I'm thinking Hostas)
-Album maintenance and cleaning kit
-Air conditioner (this one can wait a few months more I hope)

I also REALLY want to go to the ROFLcon at Harvard, and have already paid for a two day pass, but I have no idea how I'm going to get there, and where I'm going to stay once I'm there. Two of my co-workers were trying to convince me that I should submit it as a work request, and get the company to pay for it. I know it's internet related, and we're a digital media company, but for some reason I think that might be a stretch.

Would you like me to put you in touch with someone at Harvard for info? A grad student may have a good idea about how to manage there for cheap (like maybe there are student-y lodgings he'd know about). Plus this guy is a really nice dapper English gentleman from Oxford and was up until like 6 am singing Beatles songs with my dad and a pack of Argentines after my wedding.

Also, I have never owned a bona-fide credit card. They scare me too much.

My situation is strange. I wouldn't mind a cheap trip, but I don't necessarily feel comfortable in 'student-y cheap' situations. You know me! I need my own bathroom.

psst...

I live in cambridge. :)

I will be out of town the 26th-28th, but you can stay at my place. and me being gone for one of the nights you'd be here would mean you don't have to sleep on our shitty futon, but rather, my glorious glorious bed.

just throwin' that out there.

That sounds like a brilliant offer.

I may not go now depending on if my parents come for Spring Break.
