I'm reorganizing my backups this morning -- seriously, because I've been reorganizing my home office, I've come across so many discs from 2002 and 2003 and so on. So I'm spindling all the pre-2006 backups, which will go live in the cellar, hopefully far enough away if a fire destroys most of the house, it would either not get the computer, or else the backups on the other side of it.

It's that or bury them in my backyard.

You could put them in a fireproof box.

Oh yeah, I knew there was something! I love Necco wafers! LOVE. Even the black ones. And was very sad when the factory in Cambridge closed, even though I don't even live there.

I took some expired Dayquil this morning, and I can't decide if it's doing anything at all.

ION, I seriously need to figure out work for my new staff person. She didn't have anything to do yesterday, and that's terrible!

2 years of Lillibean? Wow.

I had the oddest dream. I walked into my dining room and the table and attendent clutter was missing. I figured it hadn't been stolen because who needs all that clutter? I just couldn't see it. So I took a box of random files from another room, put it in the dining room and lo and behold, the table and clutter was back! There's a commentary on my cluttering habits in there somewhere.

We've talked about the "Girls Gone Wild" guy a few times. The consensus was that he's an ass.

Here's the latest:

Joe Francis, the 34-year-old multimillionaire founder of the Girls Gone Wild video empire, has been charged with tax evasion. He's already being held without bail on contempt of court charges for allegedly shouting obscenities and threatening seven women during civil suit settlement negotiations.

He's charged with deducting over $20 million in bogus business expenses, including $3.78 million to build a house in Punta Mita, Mexico. He's also accused of using an offshore bank to conceal income.

...

The "Girls Gone Wild" guy has now been caught with drugs in his cell. Also trying to bribe a guard with a $100 bill. And the president of the company that produces his DVD's has been charged with smuggling the pills and cash to him in jail.

Heh.

Oh lord, I just realized I sent a fax yesterday that didn't have my name on the front sheet. @@ It was on the second through seventh pages, though, so everything worked out, but STILL.

The consensus was that he's an ass.

I was firmly convinced that he was way more than just an ass, so this news makes me very happy, indeed.

See, here's what I don't get about people. You have a gazillion dollars flooding in from your reprehensible "business", and you have to go faking up expenses to not pay taxes on your house. And then you want to bribe a prison guard, and you offer him a measly hundred bucks.

It's kind of amazing how many super rich people land their asses in jail for, basically, being cheap.

And in this case esp., couldn't happen to a nicer more deserving ass.

We've talked about the "Girls Gone Wild" guy a few times. The consensus was that he's an ass.

I read an interesting article (In Jane , I think) by a woman who traveled with the crew for a time. She basically said that he was a narcissistic 10 year old. He thinks he's charming, but would be abusive when he didnt get what he wanted from women. Two seconds later, he'd want you to forgive him. She said that he was like a kid after a tantrum wanting to make sure that mommy still loves him.

So, pretty much like the president, except for the wanting forgiveness?
