Is there anything you pretend to care about on a regular basis? What is it and why must you pretend?

Congrats, you've somehow just assumed leadership of a local criminal organization. Unfortunately, the old HQ went down with the last boss, and now you need to find somewhere new. What kind of establishment will you pick to be the place where you run your new buisness out of the back of, through which you will launder money and which, you hope, will provide reasonable explanation for the comings and goings of your various underlings? (You would be aquiring the actual buisness as well)

Do you like Wes Anderson's films?
A few folks have said that they think those films are "casually racist" -- if this is part of your response, what exactly are you reacting to?

There's already an ONTD post about this, but I wanted to start one here too.
Today is the 10th anniversary of Elliott Smith's death.
Are you a fan of his music? If you were a fan before he died, do you remember how you found out about his death? What are some of your favorite songs? Do you believe he killed himself, or do you believe his girlfriend at the time is to blame?

TQC, I have a social dilemma. I am of the view it's totally wrong to dress up as a race. My hockey team are having a 'Cowboys and Indians' night where all the girls team have to dress as Native Americans. I expressed to the organisers why it was wrong, but as expected, was ignored. I'm not sure what to do. Shall I skip it, go but not in costume, put a post on the communal facebook page explaining why it's wrong? Nothing? I am super involved in equality and liberation groups at my university, but this group of people are very ill informed about this. We are in the UK as well so Native American oppression is not really taught.

I found a book on Amazon.com where the kindle ebook is almost two dollars more than the paper back.
Why? Why is this?
Can you give me some serious and non-serious answers as to why this digital edition is more money ($15.96 compared to $14.08 in paper back)?

30 Day Shred on Netflix?
Can someone who has netflix have a quick look and see if the 30 Day Shred is on there? I did the first ten days on youtube and really enjoyed it, but now I can't find level 2 for free anywhere. Most paid downloads of it (like amazon) are restricted to America, so I can't do that, but I think there's a way of getting around netflix, if my terrible computer can manage it.

Rent
TQC,
The 1st of this month I started renting a condo. I paid the October rent and a deposit. I stayed in the condo for only a few nights, but for various reasons didn't like it and decided to leave. I've informed the lady - left a message on her phone. She never sent me the month to month lease that she promised she would, has been showing the condo much more frequently than she said she would (I'm no longer there but I receive a call when they go into the condo to look at it), and she hasn't gotten back to me about my message.
Where I live I'm pretty sure it's the law that you have to inform landlords 30 days in advance that you're moving. Which I did. But I'm wondering if I'm obligated to pay November or if the deposit I gave her (same price as the rent) would be sufficient since I was only there three nights and did no damage and since she never sent me a lease outlining the terms of the deposit. What should I do? Tell her I'm counting the deposit as the November rent and give her back the key? Or pay the full November rent?
