today I pissed away $45

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.08.25

I mis-heard a quote at a print house: I thought I was spending $16, but it came to $60; aging does not make you wiser.

Ah well, now I've got a copy of my dissertation printed in color (and a bit shoddily bound). Next time, I'm doing it online.

And in brighter news, I saved about $70 in labor by coming downtown to have my bike tuned, over the cost of doing so in the Beaches.

rand()m quote

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
