Hey there readers. This post doesn't have anything terribly special, just a couple things I'd like to point out.
First, I finally got my first piece of critical feedback today. While this is unfortunate that I am not perfect as I would like to be, I do appreciate it, because now I'm aware that some of the humor I tried to inject into my posts seemed really contrived and irrelevant, which detracted from the overall quality of posts (according to unnamed reader). As a result, unless a bunch of people say something against this idea, I'll probably cut that out from future posts. The big point here is that I do have feelings, but they're being invested elsewhere, so you don't have to worry about hurting them if there's something you don't like. Criticism is a necessary part of the creative process, which is a category I believe certainly can and does include blogs. So give me feedback, PLEASE.
That's the serious thing.
The second point is that I am even more of a fool than previously thought, as I realized while reading something today that food prices are not universal at all, and as a result my cost analyses are not universal. Probably should've come to this rather obvious conclusion earlier, but alas. A couple of things can happen with this from now on: I can continue to do a personal cost analysis for each entry with the caveat that it does not necessarily extrapolate to all areas, or I can just stop doing them altogether. I learn towards not doing it at all, because it's easier for me that way to not have to keep and scour for receipts, but I am writing to an audience, so the audience should decide.
That's it for this little snippet, and thanks for reading!
