I had to cut off the game of "chase the laser" despite having a juvenile dog, juvenile cat and two kitties in a very entertaining game. The little dog is beyond OCD, he's totally chasing the dragon. He gets this expression with his tongue sticking out just a bit, his eyes all wide, and a shallow little fight-or-flight pant. Little dude gots it bad.
anyone know a website (ideally free but not necc) where one can stream live video from webcam that has a simple design, no ads? or maybe this is a custom job. i am helping some young artists with a project where they drive around for eight hours and webcast themselves over Portland's WiMAX system

Calls to the restaurant confirm that unfortunately located but ultimately charming restaurant Centovini will close after three years on West Houston. Centered on a expansive wine collection and Italian small plates, Centovini is owned by the founder of neighboring store and design inspiration Moss—which is why many passersby may have confused it for a furniture store—and the owners of I Trulli on East 27th. Though it indeed won some design awards, was frequented be celebs here and there, and earned some positive reviews from the press—Bruni had a love/hate relationship with the place—it just wasn't in the cards. A rep says they will close after service on Saturday night.

Maybe I should make an economic page so I don't clutter up this one? In any case, I think this article from Bloomberg last year is an important history lesson: Bond Vigilantes Who Gave Bush a Pass May Ambush Obama or McCain.
To come back to the present week: Auction Results: Less Than Festive. I know the equity markets are way up, with the Dow, Nasdaq, and the S&P all threatening to break through important resistance levels - but it just can't last. Eventually I'll be right! :-)
"You mean to tell me that the success of the economic program and my re-election hinges on the Federal Reserve and a bunch of fucking bond traders?'' Clinton raged at aides....Yes Mr. President, yes it does.
