WEEKLY DIG //
The weekly dig has lost a G this week to cut back on spending. I'd thought I'd rant very quickly on this recent stock market apocolypse.

It f***in sucks.

I've been tring to keep my head in the sand and say things will sort out. But when the screaming guy on cable throws in the towel, you know it's bad. After finding out that all of my retirement and funds devalued by 65% in just a couple of weeks after I've been maniacally clawing and saving for the past decade made me want to barf. I turned everything into cash. I've completely lost all faith in financial institutions, the government, and humanity. Other than that I've been watching a lot tv and playing Bejewled.

I'm also a Wamu customer and just heard they had a little hiccup. In these times I have found heart warming stories like this one and that one to be of great comfort. To aid you in these difficult economic times, I scoured extra hard to find you random stuff.

In the last couple of weeks I feel like I've had so much to say and yet so little motivation to sit in front of a computer. The DNC, the RNC, I bought the Rolls of grills, football started, I watched Tropic Thunder, I turned 30 again, and I found out that I may not have a job next year. Until I can properly organize my thoughts while taking an epiphany dump, here are some links:
