Now With 100% More Bilbo Baggins

I have $12.

I mean, I always have $12, but today I have only $12.

I usually spend more than that on lunch. (Sidenote: Luckily my secretary was kind enough to bring me lunch today.)

I've collected on a half dozen loans in the past few weeks, but I've run through all that already. I do have a $500 outstanding chit that I could call in, but that would be in extremely poor taste. So I won't. Not quite yet anyhow. I'm still owed a few dollars here and there, but that will come when it comes.

I dropped $350 on BlackJack in AC on Saturday. Another $200 experimenting with online poker last night. No more gambling for me anytime soon.

My OP account is dipping dangerously low as well. I have $2000 in checks out that have not been cashed yet, and once they have I'm damn near in the hole on that. I emptied out several smaller investment accounts and dumped that back into the OP account, but that's nearly all gone. I'll owe $1,200 on the fence when they do that. My Sideshow bill for the summer is already up around $1,300 between the Ironman and Hellboy stuff. I have nothing else pending. But that's still quite a bit.

As of this morning I have ready access to $2.8 million dollars...that I will never be able to touch. I have several bank and brokerage accounts that total over $100,000...none of which I can do anything with. There's $5,000 sitting in an envelope not 6 inches from my keyboard...I can not take a single penny without accounting for it.

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

Integrity. What a bitch.

So the only real question now is...


Do I spend $7,900 on a life size Cylon replica? Or do I...wait, no, those of you that know me know there isn't really another option there.

I guess the only real question is where the fuck am I going to put it?

ADDENDUM FOR GALACTICA FANS: Yes it does light up and make 'the noise', no there is no chance they'll be making a life-size Starbuck replica...although how f'ing cool would that be?
