Ready to die- May 21, 2007 It's official. I'm a grown up.I have a will. It's notarized and official. I even did a living will in case I get turned into a turnip by the M42 while I cross the street.The folks at Legal Zoom made it pretty painless and cheap, and they provide the will in Microsoft Word format. A few search and replaces later and we have Conny's will as well.Now we know Leo will be looked after if our plane falls from the sky.http://www.nosuch.org/2007/05/ready-to-die.html Women's Town Longshuihu- May 2, 2007 It's probably one of the last nations I would think would embrace sex tourism, but I would be wrong:Chinese tourism authorities are seeking investment to build a novel concept attraction -- the world's first "women's town", where men get punished for disobedience, an official said on Thursday...

Maybe.For those you without such travel plans, have fun. If I get all my packing done early tomorrow night, perhaps I can sneak on, even though I have to get up at 4:30am the following morning...http://www.nosuch.org/2007/05/catan-at-last.html Shitibank- May 1, 2007 Once upon a time, I was a Citibank customer. I was lured in by their shiny ATMs and their appearance of being technologically forward, I suppose. Since my banking needs are pretty modest, it was easy to overlook the occasional sloppiness and ineptitude for a time. As my irritation grew and it became clear that Citibank was a bank of bunglers, I realized that changing banks is a big pain in the ass.Faced with a steady stream of small pains in my ass over time, or a big pain in my ass once, I...http://www.nosuch.org/2007/04/shitibank.html |
