11K I love people who leave their reciepts at the ATM. It's so fun looking at annonymous balances and wondering who the people are.
The person with $65.00 in their checking account - if I saw them on the street would they come off as being a wealthy person somehow. Maybe they spend all their money on looking like they have money.
the person who had $11,850 in their checking account - who is that? Is that a business account or their personal, primary account. And if the latter, why in the world keep that in a checking account?
Usually, people have more money than me.
Jewel Bako Mrs. Robot treated me to dinner the night at Jewel Bako. It was pretty sweet - they had tons of specials that night (the fish importer guys apparently had been good to them). You like sushi? Check it out. Fine place, uber-friendly staff and owners, and some talented people cutting the fish.
War Still happening. The New Yorker has a great series of articles this week from reporters in Iraq. Some of it is actually kind of heart-warming. Letter From Baghdad
Here is my letter to Baghdad:
Dear Baghdad, Hi, how's it going? I suppose that is insensitive to ask when I know that you are being bombed like a MF as we speak. This is a pretty strange war, eh? Well, if I can speak for one American, I want you to know that we hope you make it through this crap in one piece - most of you seem like real nice folks.
Your pal, me
Torture pow jessica was tortured I just read the article about the female POW they resuced in Iraq. I am horrified at the thought of female POWs being tortured... just the thought makes me get cranky and angry. I know I should be horrified at the thought of anyone being tortured, but, well, I just like girls better than boys. Ugh.
