When I sit at the computer all day I'm likely to post more than once, and more likely to post when I don't have much to say.

I don't care about Mr. Peterson. I don't care if they set him on fire. I miss the days before FOX and the original media frenzy known as the Buttafucco affair. Never met Laci, and while I'm sure it's a tragedy for all involved - I'M NOT INVOLVED. It has no effect on my life, except that all the twits who care about the sensational story are sucking up my bandwidth. You know what effects me? Interest rate increases. Pollution standards. Sale of public lands to private companies. Tax rates. Zoning decisions. Taxpayer financed baseball stadiums. The price of oranges. I suppose those things are boring, but they're real, measurable, and affect me (and you) directly. Hey, set the guy on fire and I might look - but otherwise I'm out of the loop.

Exam at 6. I'm not ready, but I am. I'll never be satisfied with how much prep work I've done. How much should I study now, vs. resting up for the exam itself?

I might throw a party on 1/7. Should I? Any big events that day? I'm thinking of the alcoholic theme:
Please help me fight alcoholism. A major sign of alcoholism is drinking alone. Well, Friday, Jan 7 I am going to drink in my apt. I have no particular reason, though it is the last Friday before I return to school slavery. Now, I don't want to be an alcoholic, but I will be drinking at that time in that location.

What you can do to help: show up and drink with me. You see, intervention is the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic. If a bunch of friends are with me, and we sit around talking while drinking together, I'm engaged in healthy social activity. If I drink alone in my apt, I'm an alcoholic. So please, if you care about me and don't want me to be an alcoholic, intervene on my behalf since I lack the self-control to stop myself. Show up and drink.

That's a great idea for a party!

I intend to help with intervention as often as possible until next semester. Hmm...does that also mean that sex addicts require similar intervention? Oops...focus on the final - focus on the final.

Sigh.... I feel the same way you do, really about the whole media frenzy for more sensational news when there is plenty of real news out there... hence, I listen to NPR... oh, yeah, interest rates went up, but I really see that as more of a good thing.... might help stave off inflation and give the foreign markets more incentive to prop up the dollar
