Hi, I’m Nine, and I used to be a Republican and a Catholic. Now I’m an American. LOC isn’t so much of a statement about my political leanings as it is about how much of a wierdo I can be. Read more...

Clutter: Declutter Your Home with the Suitcase Test.
This Christmas, as things are pretty tight for everyone, just think about what going through your home and getitng rid of the stuff you don’t use or need could do for others who COULD use or DO need what you’re hanging onto.
May I suggest your local Freecycle for giving things away?
Apple: Student Writes to Steve Jobs, Gets Free Final Cut Studio 2.
For Apple to make an exception for this high school student and give him the college student discount would have been cool. For them to send him the product gratis is most excellent.
Cynical guy in the back of my head says, “Hey Nine, can you think of all the schmucks like you who will read that and decide that Apple is worth their business? Yeah. They did it for the Xmas PR to get customers.”
Great. It works! I was going to make the crossover to an iMac anyway, this just convinces me it’s the right decision.
Good on ya, Apple. That was very cool of you.
Yes, it’s that time of year. That time of year that seems to slide forward by at least a week every year. There are radio stations playing Christmas Music. Right Now.
Is it me, or does this get earlier and earlier every damn year? WHY!
See, I have a theory. All those middle aged women that wear Christmas Sweaters year round, and are generally referred to as The Crazy Lady With The Cats, and who may or may not actually be having a pen pal relationship with the serial killer over in Mecklenburg (”I just KNOW in my HEART that you did not kill those 33 people, Jethro Ray Smithson.”) need the Christmas Format as soon as humanly possible. That way, they look a little less like anomalies, idiots, and more importantly, really unbalanced lonely people. Mannheim Steamroller isn’t a reminder of the season, it’s self-medication.
I mean, they’d gladly take another antidepressant, but ever since the doctor felt them up in order to get around that whole Doctor Shopping thing…it’s been a little sticky.
So in return for this, your mothers turn on The Christmas Station some time around Halloween. I consider it a good Christmas season if I manage to get through the whole year without having to hear the Song Of Satan Himself once. Do you know the Sweet Christmas Song of The Horned One? YES YOU DO. “Grandma…” I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO FINISH THE LINE. IT’S IN YOUR HEAD NOW, EATING AT YOUR CORTEX LIKE ONE OF KHAN’S WORMS.
I swear I’m going to jam a Dremel Tool in my earhole this year.

So, I’ve resolved to do the following.
Im going to put enough time into ChaCha to make 20 dollars a day. That’s maybe two to three hours, as long as the queries are coming in. I’m going to let that build up until Thanksgiving or shortly after.
Let’s see, how many days is that…
Today is July 20th. Thanksgiving is November 27th this year. That’s 130 days.
20*130=2600 dollars.
The Kidlets are going to have a NICE Christmas this year. LOL. Imagine what 20 dollars a day for the whole year would be!
20*365=7300
Got a couple of hours during your day? Go to ChaCha and fill out th e application. In the referral box, put my email address (nineATlocnetworkDOTcom), and there you go!
