- Frozen food
- There's been some sort of renaissance and practically every single frozen meal I see doesn't have any preservatives or weird ingredients and are literally basic-ass food that's been frozen, no strings attached.

- Finances
- I've just calculated that to save for my $7000 moving nest egg I'll have to save $100 for the next 5 years. To save for a used car at $26,000 I'll have to save $300 for the next 7 years. If I'd calculated this before, I wonder if it would have been a strong enough motivator to work like silly during high school and college.
- Politics/news
- I have fairly good stamina for the barrage of primarily contentious news but I still need a break for a few days. But I really like that I've become interested and I want to be a person who is informed. This might also lead to me being a person who is very nervous about being informed to the point of anxiety.

- Money, investments, planning--that sort
- I've been reading The Financial Diet blog for a few months now (more like pop-millenial finance articles, but it's directly related to me) and I've brushed up on my terminology and today I've downloaded a gigbyte of podcasts.
- Portfolio-making
- Puppy
- Nice and interesting newsletters
- Right now I have the Habitually Chic blog truncated into my inbox, but she's a couple of generations older than I am and I'm not totally in love with every post, but I enjoy the language, the casual excitement, and the occasional lauding of a china pattern.
- What's really hooking me is Dolly Mail, which I heard about through so many clicks and linkages that I couldn't quite say how I got here. It's much more generationally relevant (still about half a generation away), unapologetic, a bit political, and with the kind of fluff that makes one think AND not feel like shit after reading news. It also gives me a small dosage of Anglo witticism and cultural insight, which makes it refreshing. I always sit back and take time to read through the opinion sections and pretty much all the "other news" links at the bottom are weekly gold. And her playlist is quite good as well.
- In search of more newsletters, I signed on with Austin Kleon. More relevant to my industry but not quite as thorough as Dolly Mail. Nice links as well, but some of them can be very specific or they're just source references.
