Is the train coming? I have been waiting for, like, forever. Ugh! This train never, ever comes. I hate this train. Oh, hey, check out that sign. My train is coming in five minutes? I can deal with that. Thanks, Metropolitan Transit Authority.

Expensive things we're so sick of: After Kate wrote her post about Swarovski crystals, I started seeing them everywhere. On masks at the craft market, in the windows at stores, advertised in magazines, as if Kate had thrown water on a Swarovksi gremlin. Now Barbara's ranting about pricey swimsuits: $540 for a couple little triangles of cotton?! You have got to be kidding me. I'm with you, Babs, though now I'm fully expecting to see expensive bikinis adorned with Swarovski crystals everywhere I look.

Wookin' pa nub: I have long suspected Bundle's hidden potential as a dating site. So has Presh, who used data for some choice recommendations for Vegas bachelors. Now Logan's using the data to figure out where she might run into Mr. Tall-and-Handsome. I'll put this out there right now: If Bundle helps you meet The One, we will host a reception for you in New York. For real. (Okay: I'll buy you lunch.)

And other unintended consequences of Bundle data: The New York Times' Cityroom blog pulled our Food & Drink report to support the claim that New York is the new Greece, debt- and spending-wise. Wow! We wouldn't have gone that far, but you go, Cityroom.

Well-fed and proud of it: Texas's capital was tops on our Food & Drink report, to which Austinites responded with enough enthusiasm to fill a barbecue pit. "I think the key word here is 'beverage,'" wrote Stephanie on Yelp. "Austinites drink more booze in bars and clubs than anywhere I have ever been and the drinks ain't cheap. Cheers!" . On Metafilter, DecemberBoy had a different theory: "More than half the grocery stores here are either upscale 'market' type places or hippie/organic joints, so it's probably just that we're paying more because we're the type of people that love to buy Free Range Organic Fair Trade Whatever."

I'm unemployed, but I don't act like it: Our confessor this week admits that, in spite of being unemployed, he's still spending and spending and spending. "Cut up those cards," advises Logan. "That's what I'm going to do . tomorrow." Hey Logan? It's tomorrow. :)

Question of the day: It's feeling like a taking-care-of-business weekend, so tell us: What's on your financial to-do list? Comment, or tweet #TCB.
