No need to go through all of that messy, painful, and expensive cosmetic surgery. Besides, who wants to go through all of that just to end up looking like Nicolas Cage or John Travolta? Nobody, that’s who. Just find the perfect mixture of anti wrinkle face creams to get that young and healthy look back. Also, don’t forget to stay out of the sun and get plenty of exercise. That will help your skin too.

Face Off
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Lucas Android
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Well, you learn something new everyday. Today, it was that George Lucas and the entire LucasFilm behemoth actually owns the word “droid”. Huh. Very interesting. I suppose he owns the copyright on terms like “Jedi” and “Hoth” too. Geez. Speaking of George Lucas though: Do you think that he’ll ever get around to directing another movie. Not just another Star Wars movie or TV show or whatever, but an actual other movie. I don’t think he will. He’s got more money than most small nations, has shown no interest in doing so in decades, and has been involved with some critically panned movies over the past couple of decades. If only he could be forced to start with something original and care enough to tell a good story. If only most people in Hollywood could.
Affordable Disney?
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Did you know that there are Disney World hotels that are affordable? I’m not talking the Grand Floridian, but there are still hotels on the property so you don’t have to travel an hour just to get to the parking lot. I would guess that this time of year makes it even more affordable and with the weather they’ve been having, I think they would want to drum up business so they can fill the beds even in the freezing cold.
If I could choose between Disney World and Disneyland I would probably choose Disney World because it feels less crowded. Just FYI
Good Tax Habits
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I got my W2 the other day (making $5000 less in taxable income than I thought – OH YEAH!) and now I’ve got to get around to finding forms and filling them in. I like to start out by doing an estimate (over estimating all income and underestimating all deductions thereby freaking myself out) and then I make a list of all the documents I need to get actual results. Then as those come in I place them randomly around the house so that I can’t find them until April. I might modify the practice this year so that they are all in one place but that the place is secret so that I still can’t find it till April.
The worry of never finding what I need and having to file an extension gives me a little thrill.
Horse Gear
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Horses can be quite expensive. We’re not talking about just what you need for the horse, like food and shelter. We’re also talking about what you need to ride the horse like a saddle and helmet and even breeches. Getting the longest lasting materials for the lowest price should be your goal so make sure to look long and hard and even ask your fellow animal lovers about their experiences and recommendations.
Vomit
Saturday, January 16th, 2010For some reason when I offered to list all the synonyms of ‘vomit’ to my daughter last night after she had experienced the event first hand for the first time, she declined. I was just trying to make conversation. But even at the tender age of 2.5, we humans instinctually know that listening to someone say things like barf, hurl and yak will not make us feel better.
I have just raised the quality of this blog at least 10 pegs by writing about vomit.
