Money So, yea. You know, I am married and stuff. We are apparently "weird" because we have never gotten joint back accounts. We still have our separate accounts and just split the bills and stuff. Our friends think this is weird. Is it? It works for us, and I guess that is the point. People are just always saying. That's all.
Confusion romero:: I'm a bit confused about happy robot. Would someone please explain. I don't know... maybe this is the stinky, sitting at home unemployed depression talking (or maybe I need coffee), but I kinda think that the whole point of happyrobot is that it's not 'clear' as to what it is. Is it funny? Sometimes. Is it smart? Sometimes. Does it actually provide you with information? John's reviews do. Does it make sense? Not always. Isn't that the point? Possibly.
This sounds stupid, but I think I am a little let down when people get confused with something that is obviously meant to be somewhat ambiguous or unclear. (Note: I think I may be soul searching at this moment) I guess happyrobot is the website that I would want to visit if I didn't create it myself. There is no target audience or demographics; it's just me. and you. and maybe you. Can you imagine the marketing meetings the happyrobot staff would have...
"now how can we appeal more to the all important Rich in new york market?"
"our reports show that his interests include sushi, waffles, fried chicken, puppies, and boobies"

Sad 4 Willy My pal William in Nashville got laid off from his web design job thing. They called him the night before and he gets no severance. So, when I think life stinks, I can think that at least I got some extra cash and 5 days of warning. And an inflatable dog. And incriminating photographs of my former boss.

Bank I get to go the bank and deposit my first Unemployment Check! Woooo hooo! We eating biscuits tonight, mamma! To be honest, I feel a bit self-conscious about depositing an unemployment check. Some sort of emotion - pride or something. Damn those emotions. If I smirk more, I can control them. There we go... no more pesky emotions to get in my way.
in ron You know, I think the post 9/11 honeymoon is over with the US Government. I just read a bunch of the buddy-buddy letters between the head of Enron and George W, and for whatever reason they give me that bad feeling that there is way more of this Enron thing than we know now (duh). I can't believe people elected two oil men back into the White House, and now we have trouble in the middle east like we haven't had for a long time. Do we really want these oil monkeys working on this problem? Isn't there a conflict of interest somewhere? Why oh why. Not to sound pro Minister Farrakahn, but we saw his little speech on CSPAN the other night, and I have to agree with one of his main themes: It's about oil. Like I know what I am talking about. Like anyone does. We are the blind masses.
Oh, Bono I read this great interview with Bono and Bob Dylan, and I thought I would reprint it here:
Bono: Do you like my new glasses? Dylan: They are quite nice. Where did you get them? Bono: Lens Crafters Dylan: Nice! The one in the Woodbridge Mall? Bono: Exactly! Took about an hour. Dylan: That is the one right near the Karamel Korn shop, right? Bono: Yes, but don't tell my personal trainer that. Dylan: heh-heh. I know what you mean.
Resumes I have sent out 4 Billion resumes. I have got like three calls.
"I see you know the Internet stuff pretty well, but do you also have digging skills? We really need someone who's handy with a shovel"
"we really need someone to program on our AOL internet programs"
Closets We have no closets in this apartment. I love the place and will never ever move, but we ain't go no closets. Execpt one. I wish we had more, though.
That Map thing I like that map thing. I just hate that the majority of the peeps live on the eastern seaboard of the united states... it's getting crowded, isn't it. Where are all the middle and west coast homies. I know you are there. I see you reading this right now.
Chompers Whenever I see Noam Chomsky's name, I mentally change it to Noam Chompy. or Noam Chompers. Depends on my mood.
Fever fever. in the morning. fever all through the night.
