This n that

I got an invitation to get a black American Express card. It came in a black envelope and the snooty verbiage made me want to line random capitalists against a wall and shoot them:

24 Hour Concierge Service
The Black Card is not just another piece of plastic. Made with carbon [wtf] it is the ultimate buying tool.
The Black Card is not for everyone. In fact, it is limited to only 1% of US residents ...

All that snootiness for a mere $495 a year.

Went to an estate sale in Silverlake. Lots of neat old things: furniture, books, a Ms Pacman console and vintage porn, all crammed into the place. They'll be selling stuff all week, so Check it out. We got a seatless chair that is now a renovation project.

And you can all now marvel at my Danger of Breakdancing icon. It looked a lot better before I had to compress the color palette. Stupid 40K limit on Livejournal.
