this is what I'd splurge on.

• BOOKS! (a whole fucking library of them)
• art supplies
• cameras
• private darkroom and studio
• art
• music (CDs, shows)
• following a Cursive, Good Life, and Bright Eyes tour
• roadtrip around the country, overseas excursions
• DVDs
• a home theater
• shopping spree (I need to stay away from malls.)
  • clothing, especially dresses and shoes
  • handbags
  • jewelry
• a house my mother would love
• my mother's early (and extremely comfortable) retirement
• Beloit's tuition and expenses
• bringing family from Korea to the US
• a personal fitness trainer
• ✔ an mp3 player (Video playback is excessive. All I'm asking for is more bang for my buck.) — snagged Samsung Z5 for $60
  • Now I want an iPod, but I don't use my mp3 player often enough to warrant spending that kind of money.
• organic diet
• a drumset, a banjo, a bass guitar, a grand piano, a harp, and teachers to teach me how to play them
• a better brain
• ✔ an all-in-one printer
• recovering files (pictures, writing) from my dead harddrive
• souped up laptop
• a classic car
• a beach house
