October 2009
I’m not flying in that! I want my giggle back.
Apparently even awesome new shows can’t compete with thumb wars. I hate commercial breaks. Getting tivo asap.
So glee is ridiculous/ly good. Trauma I might keep watching like a train wreck, but glee is as endearingly fantastic as pushing daisies.

Watching independence day. Mary mcdonnell has managed to reverse-typecast herself - every role she has ever played is now laura roslin.
Replaying sands of time, SO GOOD.
Why doesn’t rockstar make an a-team game? All open-world l.a., taking missions & fighting crime, evading capture & driving helluva fast?
that's not part of it but it's very important
sean: okay, so something about a mix tape?

Also I love that I can enter the lloyd center underground at street level by the dollar tree and come out by nordstroms.
So the welders in the sublevel below the dollar tree are working on the la fitness underground portion, whigh is going to be massive.
i do this constantly
ropeyhodges: Have you read The Magic Christian? I think, considering your current financial situation, you may get a small kick out of it. It's about a billionaire who goes around the world playing practical jokes on people to prove that everyone has a price. Not maliciously, mind you, but to expose how silly the notion of money really is.
lotterychangedmylife: I added it to my to buy list, thanks.
WallPhone: You have a buy list? The purpose of mine seems to be a reminder of the stuff I can't get. What purpose does yours have?
lotterychangedmylife: A buy list is a great way to keep yourself from buying things you don't need. Make a list, work your way down from the top. Ask yourself if you really need that item when you reach it on the list. If not, then cross it off.
must_love_dorks: I just got purchasing advice from a berjillionaire. I make less than 20k (student) and find this to be the best thing on the entire thread. Win!

new money rundown
ppinard: How much did you actually get?
lotterychangedmylife: A little under 20 million.
ppinard: What did you do when you found out you won?
lotterychangedmylife: Made photocopies of the ticket and contacted a lawyer.
ppinard: what was the first thing you bought?
lotterychangedmylife: My first “lottery” purchase was a safe.
ppinard: what was the most ridiculous thing you bought?
lotterychangedmylife: T-rex animatronic head used in Jurassic Park. It cost me $90K and sits right behind my sofa.
ppinard: How much did you give to others (charity, family etc)?
lotterychangedmylife: I gave my parents and sister $1M each, donated another million to a scholarship fund. Paid off the debt of lifelong friends (total cost was about $200K).
ppinard: How badly do people pester you for handouts (for business, charity etc)?
lotterychangedmylife: When it first happened I was deluged by people I hadn’t seen in years asking me for help, telling me their SOB stories, and wanting to start a business. I bought into a lot of it at first but you quickly become hardened and learn to say no. I haven’t been asked for money in a few years now, largely because I’ve been traveling.
ppinard: How do you plan on living the rest of your life?
lotterychangedmylife: My first decision was to do nothing. But nothing gets boring fast
ppinard: How did you invest it?
lotterychangedmylife: Various mutual funds and a full time financial advisor who is in turn monitored by a full time accountant… who is then audited in secret by a team of auditors

zoe: yeah! ...go get it.
for proof of the death of what we have come to think of a the conservative movement, one needs look no further than john mccain. here’s a popular, intelligent, well respected and effectively bipartisan long-time senator, a man who held a reasoned and principled stance to the right of center as far as fiscal and political matters.

the idea that in twenty years most of the crazy old men on The Right will be dead or senile is interesting, but those assholes are already irrelevant. there are and will always be plenty of libertarians, of christian fundamentalists, of big money think tanks and corporate interests, of minutemen and birthers and just plain fucking racists, of old rich whites and old poor whites and all the other...

paraphrasing off the deep end
sean: so, carcassonne or carcassoffe?
ryan: i don't know yet.
sean: well, i'm coming by later anyways, we'll see. how's misty?
ryan: quiet, thank god. i think she finally figured out that she was texting the wrong number.
This show is /filthy/ as far as certain words that never get said on television.
Oh god, oxygen has an adult home shopping show… ‘yes, with the lights, what a fun product to have!’ this is /hilarious/.
