So, okay, I have some savings which are a nice thing and are allowing me to H&C without worry about monies and not doing shitty translation jobs if I don't feel like it at the current point in time.
Thing is, though, they're kinda lying in my bank account. I get some dividens off of them, but they're kinda piddly in the grand scheme of things. So I was kinda halfway tempted to invest them somehow.
Now, I am a hater of the current wolrdwide financial system and will not invest in companies which are degenerate and should burn, no matter how profitable that could be, on principle. BUT, there's one business I know and have a proper feel for - VIDYA GAMES. I've wasted countless hours in my youth playing the darn things, I can tell what's going to be popular or not and which companies are going to make it and which aren't, as I've followed the biz (I'm still doing BSB vidya-game localization from time to time, for money that's piddly compared to what they used to pay 10-15 years ago, but that's a benchmark of progress for these bozos, innit). So I have 2 local companies in mind, which IIRC are on the stock market, and one international Behemoth of a company which I'd be willing to invest in should they be available. So I'll go see a stock broker and see about buying some stocks, Julius Slowacki style.

This is heavy work. Fortunately, now that I've decided to kick lady psychoanalyst to the curb, I only have the piano lessons to attend until the 15th, when I'm going to a singing gigz. There's also one/two things I intend to apply for, but I'll get off my butt to do it come May.
