Invest in a darker, colder future

So I bought life insurance today. I am supposed to have a physical tomorrow. Decided to pony up the cash on a 100K policy. The best part about it is that it's a cash maturity investment, and if I actually live to retirement, I can pull out the money with interest compounded somewhere between 4 and 7 percent a year. While that may not be enough to live on, it may be enough to outstrip inflation and leave me with more than I started.

I also started another dividend stock anuity, not too much to start, just maybe $50 a month. However, between this and the Roth IRA I'm toting around I should be able to retire as soon as I can touch the money. yay!

I really need to restructure my deductions at work, I used to use it as kind of a "covert savings plan" but am starting to realize I could use that money and pay it into an interest bearing account and maybe make a couple of dollars on it in the meantime. I think I'm going to do that.

I also need to look into the healthcare savings plan that Bush unveiled a month or so ago, there's like a $50 health premium that only covers you in the event of an incredibly expensive stay. However you're able to put aside an amount of money (pre-tax) to invest in a fund to pay for medical expenses. If you aren't worried about getting sick, this essentially doubles as another income bracket dropping savings plan. Works for me!

A fun new person

So I'm sitting there poking around on the internet. I came across a most interesting person. She's intelligent, random, funny, and can carry a decent conversation (a hard thing to do with me). So today's entry is just a shout out to Angie. BTW, I didn't decide to just leave, my internet connection dropped out from under me.

Moral of the story: Make sure you don't introduce yourself a half hour before your ISPs scheduled maintenance outtages.

A new and disturbing development

Well, I guess it's time that I join the masses and eek myself a little webspace. Sitting here at work with stuff piling up and new stuff always at my heels. Good times though. Spent all Saturday in games, first my bi-weekly D&D game has restarted. I've got great new abilities and still tend to be the heavy hitter in the party (I love being a tank).

A funny thing happened during the D&D game... I'm playing a character class out of 3rd Ed. Oriental Adventures with the rest of the party being from the standard universe. So we're dungeon diving (of course, that's what you do in D&D), when during the fight we get separated...

One group goes off and ends up hiring goblins, something my character would highly disapprove of. My group comes across a chimera chained to the wall and several minotaur are fighting it. Now of course my head starts wondering... Here are 4 animals (the chimera is a combination of goat, lion, and dragon, plus the minotaur, which I'm considering a bull), that are part of the oriental zodiac. The chimera has a dragon head, and my character has a great reverence of the lungs back in his homeland. The minotaurs obviously have been corrupted so I decide to set the chimera free. This didn't go well with the person travelling with me who immediately goes off to find the leader of the other party and tattle.

So the leader of the party comes back shortly after I take down the minotaurs and asks what the hell am I going to do. I say I'm going to free the chimera. He's like, 'You know that's evil right??? It's going to flay the town! This is not your homeland, things work different here.'

So of course I free the chimera anyway. Which then proceeds to keep the uglies off me long enough to accomplish my part of the mission before it dies.

The moral of the story: Cultural history and superstition always outways the advice of the party thief.
