i was flat broke when i got to minnesota, so i've been living off gabe's generosity and lots of oatmeal. advice: if you're ever stuck in destitute poverty, eat oatmeal. $1 of oatmeal is 30 servings. that's a month's worth of breakfast!! then all you have to do is find dinner somewhere (like stealing your housemate's food or dumpster diving). advice number two: if you think you might find yourself in poverty, don't get hooked on cigarettes or coffee. they suck up all your money.

it's horror movie night, and the theme is zombies. there was a contest, who can look the most dead-- or un-dead. i think gabe and jade won. they're wearing ripped up underwear and they covered themselves with mud, sour milk, and "blood". so i have to go watch "night of the living dead" now.
