You've just one a million dollars, tax free!

1. Who do you call first?

[livejournal.com profile] kshandra, assuming she's not there when it happens. Next, my mom.

2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?

A very nice hybrid bike, with all the bells and whistles, and insurance for the thing!

3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?

[livejournal.com profile] kshandra's PT Cruiser, with custom paint job.

4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?

A pile o'money to [livejournal.com profile] eleri and [livejournal.com profile] vaxjedi for the care of Miri Mouse and some breathing room.

5. Do you invest any?

Most of it. Enough to get ~$40,000/year in after tax income. This will allow Kiri and myself the luxury of pursuing our dream of going back to school and getting degrees.

We caught the best show on VH1 last night about really really bad videos. Very amusing. Which made me wonder.. What do y'all consider the best/worst music video of all time? Not based on the song, but just on the video itself.

For me?

Best Dire Straights - Money for Nothing. Yes, the computer animation was crude as hell, but it was perfect, had little in jokes (like the microwave setting for "heavy rotation"), the fake videos seen on the TVs, and the neon artwork over the band. I can watch that one over and over.

Worst Flock of Seagulls - I Ran. This looks like it was made by some talented high schoolers. We've got mirrors, mylar, women in bizarre make-up who walk like extras in a zombie movie, and of course the single least photogenic band of the New Wave movement. And the camera! It shows up every time the shaky turntable passes in front of a mirror! (They at least tried to cover the camera in mylar.) Awful.

and lastly, the Video that still creeps me out to this day and makes me twitch just thinking about it. Metallica - One

Watching CNN, and learned the fact that each player gets 15 tickets for the big game.

So, it made me wonder.. who would you give the tickets too if you were playing in the Superbowl Sunday?

Who would you not invite, and why?

Which of your invities wuld need the game explained to them?
