Writer's Block: In The Money

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?

I'd buy books and have dinner somewhere fun. Khan's Mongolian Barbeque would be fabulous. Yum.

writer's block, books, khan's

I'd love to go out for dinner, but that's not a good idea.

A manicure/pedicure and books from Amazon.com. :)

The manicure and pedicure combination is popular with The FriendBots. I can definitely understand why. They're so relaxing, and the results are gorgeous and long lasting. An excellent way to use your free $100!

I remember going to the Mongolian BBQ when I lived in Ohio. One of my coworkers made himself something so spicy that he turned bright red and sweat from every pore. Even his eyeballs were sweating. He looked like he might have needed to go to the emergency room; we all laughed :)

I'd spend my $100 on a hawt new bag for my SLR camera, because I need one. Note to self: go do that, actually.

The last time I was at Khan's, I was happily ladling Dragon Sauce all over my bowl while listening to the two high school boys on the other side of the bar trying to decide whether mild or medium is hotter and worrying that their food would be too hot. I was dying of suppressed laughter.

Are you still loving the camera? Are you taking squillions of photos? Tell me about the hawtness of the camera bag?

I am still loving the camera. Soon it will document my nephew discovering the joys of Disneyland and Legoland.

I'm trying to find a camera bag that's not the typical lame fanny pack or something that looks like camping gear. I may just settle on something small from Timbuk2 or Tumi.

I shall expect pictures of the super hawtness that is the camera bag.

Man. If I didn't have to responsible with it? Go buy a bathing suit and then go for minigolf and ice cream!

Or, I could use it to help pay for rent or electric bill or the Sam's trip we have to take this weekend. *sigh*

I can think of little more horrifying than buying a bathing suit! Then again, the idea of the sun touching that much of my skin also horrifies me. ;)

I like the mini golf and ice cream idea.

Yeah, I haven't been to the beach in ages! And I live 15 minutes from it.

I can think of little more horrifying than trying on bathing suits! I keep changing my mind whether I'll torture myself with it this weekend.

Maybe I'll just spend $100 on lots of games of minigolf and lots of ice cream. *nods*

Ooh, a new computer! That sounds fabulous.

I'm guessing this strobe is more camera related than rave related?

I would buy my boyfriend something very nice for his birthday, which is tomorrow. And I'd buy my older son "Office Space", which he's been dying to own.

trista July 28 2007, 13:09:47 UTC

That's a fantastic use of the magic $100! And everyone should own a copy of Office Space. I am convinced of it.
