Happiness Over a Ten-Dollar New York Times Subscription

2:45 a.m.

I'm so happy about getting the NY Times subscription from my mum at an unbelievable intro price of just $10 bucks for a whole year. It's something that I prize, a real good value service. It's also a big deal, because I get to somehow "pay" for good journalism, it feels a lot to me, like I'm mostly donating for a good, worthy cause I respect, which is truth, and also, it's the best newspaper product, I always read the news.
