All fairness to the stock market, it was correcting stupidity on a massive scale.

Were stocks massively overvalued before the crash?

I am a zombie. I woke up at 4am and couldn't go back to sleep, becuase of thinking about all this crappy stressful stuff. Then once I cleared my mind, my skin started itching all over.

I am seriously hating my brain. Ima stab it with a Q-tip.

Nora, it says right on the box, "Do not insert in ear". Also {{{{hugs}}}}

Had a bit of a freak out this morning. Heard this awful rumbling in the kitchen sink and then there was a stinky breeze coming in through the drain. I plugged it with a dish towel and called the city sewer department. Turns out they were just cleaning out the sewage lines behind our house. The last thing I needed this morning was sewage in the kitchen sink. It would have killed off the Lutherans.

Do you have hives, Nora? I've had stress bring them on, before.

Ok. My people should quit having bad/difficult mornings!

And goodness knows that could never happen again.

I am very angry at my brother for commandeering my television for that idiot. I missed "Girl With A Pearl Earring" which I'm not even sure I would like, but, hey...Colin Firth vs. Dubya? Tough call. Not. That's what I get, being such a non-territorial neo-hippie. (Sometimes I'm still sorry I didn't get to meet Diana Kerry. It'd be nice to swap "My Brother the Candidate? So Obnoxious." stories with somebody who's been there.) My only thought about "fighting the enemies of freedom"? I intend to. But I includeDubya and his posse. He would call that "a radical interpretation of the text."(/Oz)

I don't see any hives. I do have awful dry skin despite my best attempts to moisturize. I will check more closely for hives. I think it's just my brain fucking with me though.

I will endeavor to shake this off though. I feel like such a whiner and a downer.

Mine was very minor in the scheme of things, vw. But thanks.

erika, Girl with a Pearl Earring isn't the best Colin Firth movie I've seen but really, it's gorgeous to look at. Scarlett Johansson has some incredibly kissable lips. Mmmm. And Cillian Murphy has a bit part--although with REALLY bad hair.

You are SO not a whiner and a downer, Nora. Although, I do wish you would have come and hung out with Cass and I at 4am :). But, I'm selfish that way. I don't get nearly enough Nora time.
