Happy MLK Day

There. Now I don't look racist.

Good financial news today.

I have officially paid off the engagement ring. I put a hefty amount (for me) on my credit card and I'm down to a pre-engagement ring level of debt.

My student loan payment suspension expired this month. I paid off January and February's payment. That should buy me enough time to assess how much I'll be working so I can see how or if I can pay student loans during the near future.

My bills remain up to date. I am no bill-paying sloucher, I'll give myself that.

I opened up a joint ING Direct account with Jessica. Basically, it's an online savings account with a better interest rate than a standard physical bank you find around town. It's a Dutch enterprise that has a good reputation and a straightforward, easy to understand terms of service. This account will be for wedding stuff, and afterwards a basic savings account.

It looks like my job will be giving me decent hours for the time being. I've really been slacking off on the job search, primarily because the idea of landing another shitty job, even if it pays more, is not inspiring me to make the effort. I have a lot of performing and writing work to do and when it's cold, I get VERY lethargic and mildly depressed. I'm picking my battles. I have a lead for an agent, though. A girl I know said she will strongly recommend me to them if I send in my resume and headshot. That I will do. I should have an agent. I need a monologue and song, though...
