I'm sorry, did someone say it's hot outside?

 

I do, but you'd have to move to Afghanistan. And you'd make $50k in those 6 months.

 

... go on ...
... wait ... what's legal and what's illegal in Afg, and by who's definition...

 

I don't do illegal, by anyone's standards.

There's working for an international organisation (state-sponsored: USAID, Norwegian Refugee Council, European Commission, Interpol, etc etc); and there's procurement contracting.

I do the latter, and it's paying very well. You do need to know the right people and have skills, though... and if you want even higher income, you'll need to have your own capital.

Unlike the_jazz , I'm not talking about prostitution.

 

i was thinking more like poppy plants, then again you dont make too much money being a poppy farmer do you

 

Whew.... what a relief.

 

No, no you don't. They make less than US$ 4,000 a year.

Legal is much more profitable. *grin smiley face*

(Don't have the option to select smileys while using the proxy thing. If anybody can tell me the "code" for it, it'd be appreciated.)

 

Just saw Prometheus.

Good god, was that badly written! And I thought people were being overly harsh--before I experienced it for myself.
I swore I'd never watch anything with a Damon Lindelof writing credit again. They picked a giant like Ridley Scott to helm it and a crap writer to ruin what could have been a masterpiece. Fuck.

 

I concur.

It was somewhat of a mindless indulgence, but, poorly written. I expected more, same as you, but now understand the reviews. Leaves questions, though... next round should be better (screen writer won't be getting a rehash after everyone's complaints).

 

Had the day to myself as she went to play Mah-Jong with her relatives. I always seem to get more done without her telling me what needs to be done all day.

 

I've had a great weekend, the best in a long long time.

 

it hasnt stopped raining today on a drab cold winters day here in sydney...

the_jazz, today im babysitting while she-lish shops

 

Me too.

 

As I've told you before, it's called "parenting" when it's your own kid.

 

Why does stress have to give a person bad digestion? Goddammit I feel sick.

 

You two should have went in with lower expectations then you would have enjoyed the film.

I have to find one more squad member and I will be able to take on the collectors. (Mass Effect 2 speak).

 

Those folks must be crazy! I imagine their brains boiling inside their skulls, oozing out of their ears and nose holes. I was out there two years ago and it has no mercy on the human body.
Crazy I tell ya!
