…sleep. So I’m going to go do so.

Well, I could buy 166,667 copies of Brewster’s Millions.

Or, I could fill up the house with beef jerky. A few hundred times.

I could buy tickets to take five people into space.

I could buy a $980,000 jewel and have it surgically implanted into my navel.

I could buy a piece of land big enough to keep the “guvment” out and set up an artillery range.

I could plate the house in gold.

I could plate the dog in gold.

I could plate myself in gold.

I could buy Wookie costumes for everyone to wear while watching Star Wars: The Holiday Special. WITH RED ROBES!

I could turn a level of the house into a full scale “working” model of the bridge of the NCC-1701.

Veggie Booty for everyone!

I could produce the metal/polka fusion album I’ve always wanted to own.

I could commission the construction of hedonism bot.

If I come up with more I’ll add them below.

Where I’d never want to find one: inside the toilet

Where I’d like to put one: the dog’s crate. What does she do for hours at a time?

Personally, I appreciate a well-done stop-motion animation much more than a well-done cell-based animation, and much, much more than a computer-generated animation. There’s something cool about seeing animated things, rather than animated lines

I don’t really have anything to say about this topic, but these fridges are pretty cool:

I’d eat more fiber. You don’t really need to know why.

Not sure about this one. I don’t know that I’ve really accomplished anything this year. I finished the required Greek (which I should actually use) and I started a new job (but I’m still getting my bearings). Don’t know that I’ve really done anything interesting this year.

… stay dry.

The “S” is for “sucks”
