Financial Friendship

Thanks to my friend Emma Chace, I have started to take more of an interest in things relating to personal finance. I would consider myself a frugal person, some may even call me cheap :P. But I'm not all that educated on Financial matters, except for my one finance class in college. Even so, it wasn't as much about personal finance as it was about corporate finance.

I want to start building my credit because I currently have NO credit. Grown-up responsibilities can sometimes be fun, I guess! I'm currently looking at credit card offers that would have benefits useful to me. HOPEFULLY I can get approved for one with no application fee and no annual fee. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

A New Found Addiction: 30 Rock


Hey all you nay-sayers, leave it to the horses! Just one of many memorable one-liners from a great little show called 30 Rock. Since I discovered that it won an Emmy three years in a row for best comedy, I took an interest in the show. Hey, I love TV. I'm up for a new show any day. I enjoy watching entire series at a moment's notice, so 30 Rock was my next venture.

Oh boy, was I glad I took on that task. This show is so witty, the characters' interactions are genius, and the one liners, oh the one liners! This show's comedy aligns so well with my own sense of humor that it was a little scary. I will say that I didn't always find myself laughing at every moment, but to me, that isn't the point in this show. The subtlety of the humor is what's great to me. That's what brought me so close to The Office originally.

Tina Fey is great, and Alec Baldwin as Jack is probably one of the most well-written characters in TV comedy. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but man, is he talented.

I really think this show is worth a watch, and I give it a 4.5/5 stars!

One of my recent memorable quotes was: There's no such thing as bisexual. That's just something they invented in the 90's to sell hair products.
