“We have a more in-depth meeting about it (and my other business affairs) in a couple of weeks, so I will let you know if his opinion changes after reviewing things more closely, but it looks like I can operate under the assumption that most — possibly all — of the Kickstarter funding will not count as taxable income. (This does not mean it’s “tax-free” — it just means that the income taxes may only come out of the book profits next year, not both the funding and the book profits.) This would be, of course, fantastic news, because it would free up the $2,500 I was planning on setting aside for income taxes — and pushes the Kickstarter project into the black in the process.”

Kickstarter and taxes — doesn’t count as income??? = not taxed = a good thing if it’s true.

Would it vary for different projects?

“The musical is about a princess who wants to have sex with a little tiny baby, and a cat-eyed Nightman who is allowed by a troll to rape said little boy, transforming him by the power of his musk into the Dayman who conquers the Nightman and then gets together with the princess. At least that’s the literal depiction; at a metaphorical level, Charlie insists that it’s all about innocence or something.”

““What is this, Europe?” Ms. Burgess continued, her face a mix of bewilderment and panic. “Agh! What happened? All I did was walk through that door and, oh God! Where’s the door?!? Where is New York City? Is this the future? All I wanted to do was get an Apple Pie…” Burgess sunk into a nearby apple green reproduction of a Danish chair, buried her head in her hands, and began to sob. After a few minutes, she wiped her eyes, lifted her head, and looked at the painting of a giant fingerprint just across from the mod table where she was sitting. She burst into tears. “What is that?” she cried out. There was no answer.”

“Jennifer Johnson, who styles Blake’s hair for Gossip Girl, said all she does is frequently apply a conditioning masque and let Blake’s hair “dry in a simple chignon.” Except there is no way that is all that goes into it. We’ve seen the show — there is definitely product in there, and probably some curling iron action, too.”

“Keep the thought of how lucky you are to be in the race. Many grow cynical, quit, hide in fear and apathy.
You face the world daily with overwhelming odds, but for that chance that around the corner stands another individual that is in kind. And maybe another then after…and for that, you are making the world a better place. Some people will do nothing but find the ugly, say the ugly, and do the ugly. The media, business and industry feed and thrive on it. I’m happy to know that joyous behavior is as infectious as ugly behavior. I choose joy in spite of all the facts. I’m glad you do, too. XXXO, momma white”

“

If Leighton secretly packed some major pipes, it would be one thing, but this song is basically being performed by a computer.

It could be Matthew Broderick and the home PC he uses in War Games crooning a tender love ballad about Global Thermonuclear War and Tic-Tac-Toe and modems where you had to hang up your actual home phone on a special hook, and I would not know the difference.
