People are bugging out about Harriet Tubman being on the 20. This is hilarious.

First world problems. Life must be pretty sweet for a LOT of people if something as innocent as a change in a banknote has them taking to the internet in indignation.

Does this mean that the white supremacists will have to do all their cash deals without twenties from when this starts to happen!? :lol:

That happened during the Siege of Fort Pitt, and it's not even clear as to whether or not the whole story is true. Andrew Jackson was 4 years old at the time and had nothing to do with it.

All he did was sign some unimportant thing call the Indian Removal Act. Oh, and he pretty much single-handedly caused the Panic of 1837, but he did kill the National Bank in the process. I suspect that the latter is why they're taking him off the 20.

^Prince must have been about the 4th or 5th artist I ever see live and it was truly amazing. Purple Rain is one of those albums that whenever one of the songs comes on when my iPhone is on shuffle I never hit skip.

Damn, him too and at that age? It seems like a lot of more well known people died in a short time period now. Lemmy, Bowie, Eagles guitarist, yesterday I read about Doris Roberts (mom in Everybody loves Raymond) and now Prince? Sure, you could probably say this at any time but it's certainly quite a few that I know of right now.

The manager who was interested in my script a couple months ago is probably going to work out a deal with me next week and at the same time I just received interest for the same script at a highly reputable agency who just had an Academy Award nominated film this past year.

I keep saying it, but my career is going to take off this year. This is on top of the other projects I've been involved with.

Don't forget us when you hit the big time. :-({|=
Pray tell, is one of your scripts a movie about Le Dojo? I only have one request: that SEF needs to be played by Iain Glen (Jorah from Game of Thrones). This is not up for discussion, okay?
I want to be played by Marion Cotillard's fanny. Just so that I can enter the role. OK? Thanks.

So this month sucks.
My ex-fiance who dumped me last year got engaged about a week ago, which... hell, I don't even know how to explain what that shit feels like.
Then yesterday my grandpa passed away. Only just got to know him a couple months ago (hadn't been around him since I was just a kid), and he ended up being just about the most interesting and worldly guy I've ever met.
And just now, I pop on to facebook only to see that my ex decided to fast-track things, and got married today, in the same month she got engaged.
I might have been kidding when I said "fuck this month" not too long ago in one of the gaming topics, but yeah...
Fuck this month.

It sounds like you dodged a bullet with the fiance, though I'm so sorry about your grandfather.
