God I really can't stop listening to the SNL skit. It kills me every time. And sure helps get my mind off the fact that the world market is crashing around us, and most of the people it's going to affect the most are just like lol whut's the fed. Oh job, if it weren't for you, I could have that ignorant bliss again too. Le sigh.

Let's quote SNL!

"My goal tonight was a simple one. To come up here and at no point seem like a condescending, egomaniacal bully, and I'm gonna be honest, I think I nailed it. Sure there were moments when I wanted to say, 'Hey, this lady is a dummy!' But I didn't. Because Joe Biden is better than that. I repeat Joe Biden is better than that. So to all of the pundits who said I would seem cocky or arrogant. You dopes got schooled Biden-style."

Tsk tsk I believe the word you are searching for, dears, is "apologists"

Mean mouse is being mean again. Perils of the laptop.

I only wish the Net was scarier than the economy. Then at least I'd have some decent distraction. Work is ever the depressing. Stock market is like a teasing harlot. Up and down up and down. I wonder if the election can truly save us. I know I'm supposed to take comfort in the electoral college map, but I am extremely wary about calling things early. I learned the fatal error in that about a year ago. With all this misery afoot, I find myself in poor motivation to actually figure out what pieces I want to submit to my contest.

Though, in somewhat perkier news, I am contemplating a new project. Mostly for the reaction factor because those are nummy. Bonus points for also getting bored enough during lunch to write a crack essay. My old fandom is going to murdinate me.

Which reminds me. I should kick myself for forgetting my roots. Oh, X, how could I have forgotten you or your training?

And we end with an awesome conversation between me and Graham.

Graham: Soon they'll start making everything out of corn. Like corn nuclear bombs.
Me: I could go for corn nuclear bombs. At least they'd be recycling.
Graham: Don't worry, North Korea, we've just got a nice shipment of corn.
Me: ... OMG. You're a terrible person.
Graham: Aren't I?
