I Need Money, therefore...
I’m considering doing up a Munny doll (or multiple) to sell. I’ve found that a lot of my favourite low-budget artists (visual and musical) usually end up selling stuff to pay for their craft. Unfortunately, I just really don’t have a whole lot to begin with so that’s really not an option.
But before I make this investment into startup capital, who would be interested in buying one from me? Take into account that after customisation, I’ll probably let these go for in the neighbourhood of $50USD. Also, I live between Toronto and Cayman so if you’re lucky enough to be in either of these, you can probably avoid shipping. Otherwise, you’ve gotta fork up for that too.
Think about it. You down or what?

Three things:
- I’m not a fan of the current government administration. Loser ideas all around.
- I’m pretty frightened by this prospect and everything to do with it.
- This journalist is a jackass and needs to stop saying “the Caymans”.

As a Matter of Mental Health...
… two shifts in a row, closing at 10 then opening at 6, is horrific punishment. Twice in one week is nothing short of torture.
I honestly don’t know how anyone can be asked to do this. Surely there are enough employees between the 4 stores to ensure crimes like this NEVER take place (unless someone’s masochistic like that).

The Epic Saga of the PlayStation 3
So if you’ll remember carefully, a while back, I posted this. Here’s the story of how it became relevant.
I have a little routine I like to engage in at the beginning of every semestre. I take a pretty big sum of money and hide it from myself so that when I find it I can just go nuts and spend it frivolously. I did it last semestre and bought a digital piano. This semestre, I hid $250 CAD (approx. $200 USD) and bought a PS3. There’s an interesting story surrounding this though.
I’d been eyeing a PS3 for the longest while. I found my money a couple of weeks ago so I started lurking Craigslist, looking for a good deal. The majority of the good deals (i.e. brand new systems, refurbs, etc.), though, were in the area of $300 CAD (approx. $250 USD) so I decided a used system wouldn’t be so bad. I was gonna switch out the hard drive for the 120GB disk from my old laptop anyway. So one day, I found a pretty sweet deal that was a 40GB system and no controller for $250. After calling the guy, he ended up including a controller as I already had a USB cable to charge it. I journeyed 45 minutes up North to pick it up from him and 45 minutes back home again, excited to play my new PS3. However, upon setting the system up, I discovered that this guy swindled me and sold me a system with a broken wifi card AND ethernet port!
I was pretty mad, needless to say. He wouldn’t answer my calls and wouldn’t return my e-mails and worse, still, there was obviously no receipt so warranty was out of the question. I just didn’t have $200 more dollars to send it to get repaired.
Then, a miracle.
In all his weasling, the guy forgot his copy of Call of Duty 5: World at War in the machine. A pretty popular game, by my understanding. Anyway, I decided I wasn’t gonna take this lying down and I was still determined to get my PS3! Long story short: I sold the system and the game (honestly pointing out the flaws, of course) for $300, profiting $50 on my original $250.
It didn’t stop there though. I decided to take my $300 and put down another $25 to buy a brand new 80GB system that I guy was selling. He got it as a gift but he’s not a gamer so he just wanted some quick cash. I met up with him yesterday and bought it off him. IN FACT, he was such a nice guy about it, he let me have it for $300 as opposed to the $325 he listed!
Mmmm. Brand new 120GB PS3 for $300 CAD, no tax. Every day I’m hustlin’ :]

Things I Need to Stop Doing [Vol. 1]
Lurking Craigslist at obscene hours of morning when I should be sleeping. All this has brought me is strife over trying to choose between a 40GB PS3, trying to barter down the price of an Epiphone Dot by $150 (I’m willing to forgo the hard case) and trying to bum $100 for that Epiphone Les Paul.

i can guarantee that my most recent would amount to alot more than this example. but you get the idea. lol
I’d be, easily, at least ¢566,445 (Costa Rican Colones) richer. That’s $820 KYD (Cayman Islands Dollars), $1,000 USD or $1,282.68 CAD.
