Libraryland: She Told Me Money Does Not Buy Happiness, Then She Hopped In Her BMW And Drove Away by Julie Buffaloe-Yoder →

Money does not buy happiness.
But it does buy a house,
lights, heat, a warm belly.
It buys a full night of sleep
on a Posturepedic mattress.
It buys freedom to write about
suburban angst and anger.
A shelf full of books.
Poetry conferences.
Art on your walls.
A night at the opera.
A bra not held together
“I have the sensation, as do my friends, that to function as a proficient human, you must both “keep up” with the internet and pursue more serious, analog interests. I blog about real life; I talk about the internet. It’s so exhausting to exist on both registers, especially while holding down a job. It feels like tedious work to be merely conversationally competent. I make myself schedules, breaking down my commute to its most elemental parts and assigning each leg of my journey something different to absorb: podcast, Instapaper article, real novel of real worth, real magazine of dubious worth. I’m pretty tired by the time I get to work at 9 AM.”
