... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

They cost $300 and I knew I would never wear them. But still, they were cool, and original. I would have been proud just to have them in my closet.
I didn't think I'd be buying anything.
I went into a used book store, and there, in a bin, were all the premiere foil edition #1 comics for the new marvel lineup. The guy was selling them for $5 each. Thewy were MINT condition.
My parents wouldn't loan me money, so I hid them in a dusty set of encyclopedias, as I knew we'd be back up in a week.
When I came back, turns out someone bought the encyclopedias. They were sitting there fo years according to the store owner.
The store owner also noted that someone had shoved all these comics in the encyclopedias, and then decided to look them up.
He figured out that he was selling them for far less, found a collector and made a tidy profit.
The original cost if I'd bought them originally: $50
The actualy price I could have sold them for? $5000
If I could have kicked myself in the crotch, I woudl have done so.
They made even my stubby little legs look long and sexy.
I should buy a new pair.
Katie, I invested in a man whore recently. Make sure you get the extended warranty.
I regret not purchasing a condo in Northern Virginia ten years ago. I'd be a rich SOB right now if I had just used those Stafford loans on property rather than the education . . .
(I'll bring my own this time!)

Odd glitch. I should get that looked after.
Any service techs here?
P.S. Not so much with the insight
Dave, you are a genius.
