It figures - my favorite on-line dj right now is Dr. Galactik, who it turns out happens to be from Canada. Grr.

I'm going to drink less. Hopefully not going to the hospital daily will make this come naturally, but I just did a run to the recycle bin and couldn't believe how many large liquor bottles made up my contribution to reusable materials. What if I needed to throw together a quick molotov?

Plowing through all those old-school pictures made me do a memory check, and theorize that nonscientific or not, I was due a large dose of karma payback. So I'm going to ride and try to learn from what has happened, spend some time reflecting and not even trust my own memories - break out of familiar thought patterns and really question why I did what, and how that impacted others. They say you pay it back 3 times over - so that's what I'll do if faced with it. Hopefully I can learn.

It appears I don't need to waive into the DC bar at all! According to at least one source, there are no time restrictions for admission to the DC bar. It's just a question of having the right scores, which I do. If I don't need to but the door remains open until later, then I will save the $1,000 in app fees and just be a MD bar'd lawyer. The DC bar site seems to agree that there are no timelines, but I've heard otherwise through casual conversation. Still, I could use that $1,000 plus dues for other things.

I still haven't paid out my tithe - need to kick down to my charities NOW. On the other hand, my marvel stock just jumped 20% in a day. I think my next retirement purchase is going to be citigroup, down 5% today alone - they are so beat up by the publicity on the subprime market in general and their giant missteps that they are down almost half! This means their p/e is like 8. They were equal debt to cash (if you trust their books) but plan to write off 6-8 bil of their 27 bil. I think these numbers are already reflected in their price, and this is just hysteria. Previously I bought them at 46 sold at 55 - today it's 36! Their finances are still really solid, and I don't think they're going anywhere. Come Jan, I think I'm going to put all my $ into C for my 2008 retirement contribution. Or sooner.
