The test is Saturday. Me and isosceles triangles, we’re like this.

… I need a break. I’m going to post this and then go be a couch-spore for a while.

  • Look, my vewwy fiwst appearance in a Festival of Frugality! What I like to term my TidyCat Manifesto appeared in the Festival of Frugality #87 at Frugal for Life. XORsted is all grown up!
  • I’m delighted to be going to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy tomorrow night at Boarding House Park in Lowell, MA. It’s not the frugalist of frugal entertainments, at $15 a ticket, but still very reasonable for a band that is AWESOME in concert. The Lowell Summer Music Series has numerous other reasonably-priced concerts going on this season.
  • I’ve been remiss in posting real content, but I’ll clue you in to some of the posts I’m working on:
    • Sheryl Crow on wanting what you have
    • Your stuff: a historical context
    • A frugal vacation in Lovecraft country?
    • Full of shame and egg rolls

In parting, a confession: I’m still trying to work out what I want to do with this blog. No, don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. But my original goal here was simply to post articles that were slightly more journalistic and thought-out than the articles I post on my LJ; now I’m finding more and more that I enjoy writing about frugality and voluntary simplicity – inasmuch as I try to live it.

If I were going to narrow the focus of this blog, I think I would rename it, as well. “Frugal in the Fruitlands” has been on my mind for a while now, and it has a nice ring to it. It would incorporate frugality, voluntary simplicity, some personal finance and productivity, and perhaps a little local color.

What do you think? Would this make you more or less likely to read? Subscribe? </market research hat>
