Friday Five
Jan. 30th, 2004 12:24 pmYou have just won one million dollars:
1. Who do you call first?
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enotsola, most likely.
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?
House. Preferably in Kitchener. That'll show the consulate I mean business. ;) (Not to mention make that part of my life a lot easier.)
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?
Hmm... new car for my father.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?
Yes, but not determined as to whom. Probably focused on environmental protection and/or reproductive freedom type organizations.
5. Do you invest any? If so, how?
Yes, but I'd need advice on that. A million really isn't enough to invest in property in California, especially not if I've already spent $200,000 on another house and $20,000 on a car and given $50,000 of it away or whatever. (I'm assuming this is a million net, and not gross winnings, or the taxes I'd pay on them would further limit my options.) Probably wind up investing it in something that won't be worth anything for 35 years, but then, that's when I'd be needing it, so it works out.

Well that explains it!
Jan. 30th, 2004 02:43 pmAt some point I went up from earning vacation at 6.66 hours per month to earning it at 10 hours per month. I thought the next step would have been 8 hours (maybe I passed it?) and in any event that I would not have hit it so soon, but hey! (10 hours per month is 3 weeks per year)

Any locals at all interested in going to Stiletto tonight? It's at the same place as Wednesdays' Adrenochrome (another place I've not been), the King of Clubs in Mountain View (looks like it's right near 85/101). I really dunno if "80s, New Wave, Electroclash, Dance, and More" is something I'd enjoy, but I'm feeling awfully stir-crazy today and I think enotsola is about to be picked up from his house and then be out all night, so...

Jan. 30th, 2004 08:31 pmCan anyone recommend a good site for ordering custom checks? I don't want to hand out my checking account number to just anyone.

Pantheacon
Jan. 30th, 2004 10:56 pmAUGH! The Pantheacon schedule is huge to print out! AUGH! It looks like various things I want to go to are overlapping! (devafall and/or tiggrrl, didn't you say something about a performance of some kind? is that not on, or am I not recognizing the name, or was that never a formal thing in the first place?)
Edit: Yeah. I have one case where there are two things I would like to attend, and two major trainwrecks where there are three. Fortunately,tyrsalvia's Erisian ritual (I had no idea there was going to be one every day, put on by different people) doesn't conflict with anything else I want to do, so I should be there. ( Click if you want to read about between what(s) specifically I am trying to choose. )
