One of the swell things about moving from a rental situation into an ownership situation is the security deposit. I just i just laid out thousands of dollard for down payment, closing costs, rennovations, utility activations, etc… but a few weeks after moving in, i got this great little security-deposit refund check that’s kinda like reaching into an old pair of pants and finding $550.

Stay with me.

Having been in normal rental situations for most of the past 6 years, there’s been this was of cash that i put up as security for the first apartment and, not beging the sort to really wreck a place, has gotten moved around ever since. Having not seen this money in so long, the return of it feel like found money, a windfall (ok, a light breeze-fall), soemthing that should under no circumstances be used for such pedestrian things as paying off debt. No, this moeny should go toward something indulgent.. something geeky.. something like a pair of 20.1″ LCD monitors… yummy

yes, i know full well that money would have been “better” spent on, oh i dunno, paying off debt, or socking away for a rainy day, or a really nice hooker… but damnit…. w/o buying these heidi would have had to go back to her 14″ CRT.. the HORROR!! think of heidi!!!
