Expenses Without Receipts

Well, now I'm ten days behind. Let's see if I can think my through this:

• We start with Thursday the 1st. After lab work at the U., I went to Uptown to get a ticket for the Minnesota Roller Girls bout. It cost: $11.
• I don't know why I'm going to this New Coffee Place (might as well name it: Diamonds) to the exclusion of most others during the day. I think I'm avoiding My Favorite Coffeehouse (Afternoon Division) because it's too close to home and all the tension and disharmony there. So I'm going there, at least for now. Large mocha and tip only: $4.25.
• Friday: Went to Dairy Queen because it has coupons for free admission to the DQ Classic, last weekend's tournament hosted by the University of Minnesota baseball team. Got the special: $5.
• Drove everywhere Friday -- Grandmother's clinic to Plymouth to retrieve some creamer at the screener job that I forgot when I got done with my project to Minnetonka to look through some porn. Still found time to go back to Diamonds; I was there after I went to the clinic when I remembered my creamer was going to be thrown away if I didn't get by end of business that day. Anyway, a shitty day meant I allowed myself a cookie at Diamonds even though I had Dairy Queen for lunch. With tip: $6.25.
• Bought a hot dog and Coke at the game that evening: $7.75
• Stripclub, coffee and tips: $10.
• Late-Night Coffee Place -- however, I punched my hole card so I got a free drink! Well, I threw in a tip for their work: $1.
• Instead of My Favorite Late-Night Italian Place, I stayed in Uptown and went to this pizza place. Good pizza. With tip: $14.50.
• Saturday I went to the Mall of America, just because. My excuse was I was going to the MNRG, so it was kind of on the way. No it wasn't. Stone Cold Creamery, plus tip: $4.50.
• Had a beer at the bout. With tip: $7.50.
• Uh ... strip club? Sure. Tips only: $8.
• Late-Night Italian Place: $11.
• Monday. Diamonds. Mocha and tip only: $4.25.
• Went to the "sex" party that evening. Thank God for ***e*, who squeezed my dick a few times. Needed that to forget. One dance: $20.
• Late-Night Italian afterward: $8.50.
• Tuesday, I returned the favor my friend had given me and I treated him to free passes I got through Entertainment Weekly to see the HBO movie Game Change. (Quick review: Julianne Moore is amazing as Sarah Palin. But is the depiction bad for her? Yes. She's shown as shallow, capricious, dumb and, ultimately, nakedly ambitious. The moments where she improvs something clever, or has tender moments with her family seem to be shoehorned in the story to deflect the criticism that this is a hit piece. It is, but it doesn't matter; I think this is the true story of how Palin acted during the 2008 campaign, and now I'm so fucking glad she didn't become Vice-President.) Anyway, unlike The Theatres At MOA, the theater at Southdale has small-sized popcorn and pop and smaller-sized popcorn and pop, the latter of which is part of a combo. I thought I bought this size when my friend and I were down there for Ghost Rider 2 ... until I saw the size. They're kids'-size, for God's sake. So a small popcorn and Coke: $10.25.
• Wednesday. I don't totally recall, but Diamonds, with mocha, donut and tip: $5.50.
• Got a haircut later. Didn't have money for the cut, but I did have cash for the tip: $2.
• Thursday (Yesterday) I went to use a coupon at Wendy's for their fish combo. It's like I'm observing Lent! Total: $5.02.
• Diamonds: $4.25.
• Friday (Today), Diamonds again: $4.25.
• My Favorite Stripclub. Tips only, and I could skip one dancer because she's a rip-off bitch: $8.
• My Favorite Coffeeshop (Late-Night Version): $5.25.

I think I'm all caught up!
