two very important affairs of state. first, as is my style, i try and leave myself the smallest amount of time possible to come up with a halloween costume, despite thinking up thousands of excellent choices throughout the year. so, to have a record, i will begin posting them when inspirado strikes. costume that inspired this revolutionary process: the question-mark suit guy with that crappy commercial about his crappy book.

second, as many are sick of hearing, kinlin and i plan to get dogs this coming june (when we move out of this apartment), and among a myriad of other pre-puppy preparations, choosing my widdle puppies name is at the top of the list. due to a lengthy history of impulsive decisions (look at my shoulders), i have compiled a list of possible names ... my roomates and st. louis already know which im leaning towards but it would be 'nice' to get the often pessimistic and condescending input of my readers.
THE LIST:
Bailey
Splinter
Jeff Allen
Milo
Col. Mustard
Otis
Malcolm
Number 2
Armani
Fisher
Headzo
Mr. Peterman
Lord Kelvin

who decided who got to be on money? i say, coins .... who cares. 1 dollar bill, lets stick with the 1st president. i thought lincoln deserved a little better than the 5 spot after getting stuck on the worthless/filthy penny. however, he does his face out there more. does ben franklin deserve to be on the 100$. i dont think so. what about jackson and grant? what have they done? i dont know. and i bet a lot of other people dont know either. why not a president that we are brought up in school to think is great ... roosevelt, kennedy, etc. someone who made great strides for our country, or made a nobel peace prize effort in the middle east, i dunno. atleast something. here is my plan for restructuring who is on our currency:

Denomination: Penny
Current: Abraham Lincoln
Proposed: why not keep it simple, lowest coin and lowest dollar .... George Washington

Denomination: Nickel
Current: Thomas Jefferson
Proposed: Jefferson was the man, much better than John Adams, he keeps the nickel

Denomination: Dime
Current: Franklin D. Roosevelt
Proposed: Dimes suck, sorry FDR, but i do think you should keep this one

Denomination: Quarter
Current: George Washington
Proposed: I think Lincoln would be a better fit

Denomination: Half-Dollar
Current: I dont know
Proposed: who cares, i cant remember the last time i saw one of these

Denomination: Dollar Coin
Current: Sacagewea
Proposed: to keep it interesting i think this should rotate. 4 years after a presidents final term he gets as many years on the dollar coin as he was in office. for the record i fucking hate dollar coins.

Denomination: Dollar
Current: George Washington
Proposed: Nice choice whoever, he stays.

Denomination: 2 Dollar
Current: Thomas Jefferson
Proposed: John F. Kennedy, plus they should start printing them again

Denomination: 5 Dollar
Current: Abraham Lincoln
Proposed: Ben Franklin, that oughtta take him down a peg or two

Denomination: 10 Dollar
Current: Alexander Hamilton
Proposed: John Adams

Denomination: 20 Dollar
Current: Andrew Jackson
Proposed: Thomas Jefferson

Denomination: 50 Dollar
Current: Ulysses S. Grant
Proposed: Abraham Lincoln, this guy was the man and deserves the fiddy

Denomination: 100 Dollar
Current: Benjamin Franklin
Proposed: I could never figure out why this guy was on the hundred. Anyway, he goes to make way for Bill Clinton. he's my favorite.

who decided grape soda tastes like grapes? its not even close.
