Will Plei's ideas involve a massive heist of glittery nail polish?
Nope. I'm annoyingly adept at brainstorming budget issues. Comes from being raised on a shoestring and having gone back to that shoestring too often as an adult.
My complicated money issues have some silver linings.
Depressing headline o' the day:
Ritual Sacrifice Of Children ON THE RISE In Uganda
eta:
However, the rise in human sacrifices in Uganda appears to come from a desire for wealth and a belief that drugs made from human organs can bring riches, according to task force head Moses Binoga. They may be fueled by a spate of violent Nigerian films that are growing in popularity, and showcase a common story line: A family reaping riches after sacrificing a human.
JZ, I wish I could help somehow. If you or Plei come up with any research-y grunt work or something else that I can do long-distance, give me a shout.
tommy, that is definitely the most depressing headline I'm going to read today. I refuse to think any more about it, if I can, or click on the link.
In completely other news, I hadn't realised that Seth Green has been nominated for three Emmys (Robot Chicken). And apparently now George Lucas is going to let him do a Star Wars sitcom. Oz? Wee Oz?
ita, I finally read that Bottle Girl article, and I think I have to take a shower. New York is so gross.
New York is so gross.
New York, LA, Las Vegas...I just don't understand people.
And I really really don't understand some of the things guys are willing to pay for.
GFE!
But without going all out! And you still get paid!
Who am I kidding? There was a time in my life I'd totally have wanted to be paid arm candy. But no naughty stuff! People are gross.
Not only am I dressed wrong today, I have schmutz on my top. Such immense fail.
Bottle Girl article
That is so far removed from my life that it may as well be a different planet. In a distant solar system.
JZ & Hec, sorry for the automotive suck-fest. Here's hoping that zipcar can cover some short-term needs until you find the car that fits your needs and means.
And if Oddball tomorrow is some guy driving into SF in a polish truck, I'll pretend I don't know nothin', right?
