Plan 9 From Outer Space gets a bad rap. It is nowhere close to being the worst movie ever made (my vote for that would be I Spit On Your Grave). The plot, while imperfect, makes sense within the confines of the film and the acting is quite good compared to many of the B movie babies it spawned. The movie is even a bit heartbreaking at times when Bela Lugosi is on the screen. if you know the backstory (that he was late in his life and struggling with a serious drug addiction).

I am a big fan of “to do” lists because I usually have a lot going on and I’m working with a very small, cluttered memory span. While Remember the Milk does the trick for me online, I’m still a fan of the pen and paper variety because of one thing: stickers. Yes, at 27 years old I am still incredibly motivated by charts with stickers awarded for achievement. How’s that for social conditioning?

It was through the stickers that I came to find MAUstudio. Came for the little ninja stickers, stayed for the accessories and stationary.

CNN is confirming that Obama has spoken with Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) concerning the commerce secretary position left open when Bill Richardson dropped out. This is an interesting situation. Yes, it promotes that bipartisanship that Obama has been so fond of. But if Gregg took the Cabinet position, he’d be out of the Senate. His replacement would be chosen by New Hampshire Governor John Lynch- a Democrat.

Zimbabwe has finally given up on its own currency, shortly after launching a Z$100 trillion note that’s equivalent to $30 U.S. . Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa announced that all of the country’s businesses would be allowed to conduct their transactions in other, more valuable, currencies. Previously, only licensed businesses were allowed this freedom.
