Piles of coins

Posted on December 15, 2014 By admin

Last weekend, after a convoluted story involving Bean and money, we decided to sort out the mountain of change in my bedside table bucket. Turns out that we had 98.50 francs in 5, 10 and 20 centime coinsm (for those of you counting, that’s about 700 coins). We wanted to go to the bank to get those changed, but they were closed (as was the post office). I took them to work with me today with the intention of getting it sorted at the post office on campus. Turns out, they only accept rolls of coins. Guess what I did over my lunch break.

Good news, bad news

Posted on December 11, 2014 By admin

Good news: my liver, kidneys, immune system and blood sugars are fine. Bad news: my cholesterol is all over the place and I’m too fat. Odd news, my doctor wasn’t happy with my immunization records, so gave me a tetanus booster and a hepatitis vaccine on the spot so now my shoulders hurt.

It’s really easy to get rich people to fork over cash for stupid reasons.

It costs 50$ for a 750ml bottle.  The frosted, corked bottles are emblazoned with hand-applied, Swarovski crystals. It’s the talk of the fashionistas and the glitterati. The drink has shown up at the Grammy’s, Emmy’s and MTV Video Music Awards in the hands of celebrities.

Bling H2O is the creation of a Hollywood writer-producer who knows the importance of image and what your choice in bottled water conveys to the public. In Hollywood it seems the bottled water one carries has become an important prop.

Quote of the day

The Librarian of Unseen University had unilaterally decided to aid comprehension by producing an Orang-utan/Human Dictionary. He'd been working on it for three months. It wasn't easy. He'd got as far as "Oook".
--(Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms)
