I think I officially became old a couple weeks ago. It happened innocently enough, I was looking into some tax stuff since I have both 10-99s and W2s to fill out this year in two states, one of which has a seperate state income tax. And I somehow slipped into reading about tax deferments and thought seriously about opening a Roth IRA. That's right, a...

Yeah, even those of us who love football couldn't understand why they just didn't keep going during the World Cup or started the series earlier. Top Gear > Highlights of Switzerland vs. Ukraine, aka the dullest quarter final in history. They even made the penalty shootout look dull.

The British public got by. Well timed Christmas releases such as this and this but certainly not this may have helped. Ah, the Christmas market. Gotta love it.

I saw the advert for Captain Slow's DVD game and I thought it was a spoof to start with. I'd quite happily buy his book though. smile

The problem with crazy old journal entries is that every time you want to update you realize that you have to explain what the hell's been going on during the craziest four months of your life, so you get discouraged and instead write journal-sized entries on the boards, in groups, and as comments in other friends' journals. It's a vicious cycle.

So let's pretend I...

Money spent in the last month: $4,980

I had hoped my savings would last me a good six months, if necessary. After one month, they're 75% gone. I seem to have grossly miscalculated.

It's only about 80 here..But that's a bit too much for me. I don't take heat too easily. 102 would surely kill me, or render me useless that day atleast. I think the 77-79 range is more or less pefect. biggrin

Flying across the country on July 4th provides you with a few notables:

- You get to see a lot of fireworks from an interesting perspective
- If your plane takes off at sunset, you'll continue to see the sun set for 8 hours
- It's probably the absolute worst time to try and maneuver 150 lbs of boxes by yourself in public transportation full...

Today I was informed that it was my last day at work. They would pay me for an extra week, but I didn't have to come in, just answer questions over the phone about whatever they needed. It was kind of like getting fired, except I had already quit. Very odd.

For a while now I felt like they didn't know what to do with...

But my eyes are one of my only good features. Couldn't I lop off a foot or get a bionic torso instead?

I wish I could do half of the things on my to-do list.

eeek So that "Danger High Voltage" video was quite..interesting.. Actually, they all were that I watched.. The music isn't bad at all, either. tongue It's too bad there aren't any 3-day passes. Tickets alone would cost me $45 overall! shocked Decisions, decisions..

Yeah, I jumped all over the Steelers last year because they are based in my state!!
Wait ... no I didn't, because I'm a fan of MY TEAMS and not the ones close by that happen to be winning.

I've seen you crow about the Lightning, the Heat, the Marlins, and the Bucs. Have you ever been to a game for any of them?

My guess is no.

legionnaire:
Thanks, it's nice to be back on the newswire.

And yes, this time I'm around i'm getting paid. smile
