I'm no gamer, but...

I sure am excited for Halo Reach in two days. Dear heavens, all the enemies and complex story and super skilled shooting, can't wait to get online. So much fun.

Couldn't believe myself

Today I met a man claiming to be Jewish, and he did not let his children believe in Santa Claus. Is this not absurd? Please, your thoughts, I couldn't believe my little old ears when I heard this.

Unbelievably Evening

James took me out for a wonderful evening, we went to this beautiful little restaurant - it was French, I'm not sure what it means in English, but it was called La Petite Hoe. The food was absolutely delicious, I want to go back, but it was extremely costly. So costly, I decided to let him have anal sex. <3

Chrysanthemums.

The genus once included many more species, but was split several decades ago into several genera; the naming of the genera has been contentious, but a ruling of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature in 1999 resulted in the defining species of the genus being changed to Chrysanthemum indicum, thereby restoring the economically important florist's chrysanthemum to the genus Chrysanthemum. These species had been, during the period between the splitting of the genus and the ICBN ruling, commonly treated under the genus name Dendranthema.

The other species previously treated in the narrow view of the genus Chrysanthemum are now transferred to the genus Glebionis. The other genera split off from Chrysanthemum include Argyranthemum, Leucanthemopsis, Leucanthemum, Rhodanthemum, and Tanacetum.

The species of Chrysanthemum are herbaceous perennial plants growing to 50–150 cm tall, with deeply lobed leaves and large flower heads, white, yellow or pink in the wild species.

Chrysanthemum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species — see list of Lepidoptera that feed on chrysanthemums.

Couldn't believe it

Let's say this guy has just come into about $1,000,000 and didn't win any Boy Scout badges getting it. What does he do with it?

He can't keep it in his house, because if the cops get a search warrant against him, a duffel bag filled with cash under the bed can be embarassing.

He could put it into a safe deposit box, but he'd either have to visit it too often, which would suspiciously show up on the bank's records, or visit it
infrequently, which means carrying huge sums of currency around. In either case, if the police want to look at the box, the bank has to let them.

A checking account? By law, deposits of more than $10,000 have to be reported to the Treasury Department. If our friend just deposited $9,000 at a time, he would have to make over 30 transactions, another flag in the air for the authorities to see.

This guy can't win, can he? When you deal with banks, you leave tracks. You could spend a few thousand a year and attract no attention, but who wants to live on 5 digits a year when you've got 7 digits laying around? Dirty money
must be LAUNDERED in order for it to truly become your cash. The methods for doing this vary depending on certain circumstances.

Adventures

Today was an absolute thrill! I finally managed to do some sight-seeing!
