Continuing my low-content blogging of late with this:

I mean, so much has a person down these days, what's to say on LJ? I did save hundreds of buckies on a lawn-mower and a chain-saw tonight - there's some good financial news. Otherwise? I hope everyone is doing well.

Y'know... what if maybe everyone stops freaking out about the economy? Then would it maybe not go into the toilet? Because when you get down to brass tacks, money is just a tool for measuring what we think things are worth. It's all consensual reality, not actual reality. Value is what we decide it is.

Also, to the pundits and politicos out there: The next time you use the phrases, "Wall Street and Main Street," I'm going to punch you in the eye. Just sayin'.

I keep thinking the same thing about money and the economy as consensual reality. It's hard for me to quite make sense of this series of events and concretize it because it's all about hundreds of billions of dollars (numbers that, frankly, seem kind of made up and beyond the realm of reality) and economic speculation.

At any rate, I'm doing my part to prevent the economic collapse of the United States by stolidly refusing to freak out. Unfortunately, since I'm poor and don't buy or sell stock, no one seems to much care if I freak out or not.

Oh, I can think of a few things.

Good point on the economy. It's why I didn't take my money out of WaMu. I didn't want to help cause the failure.

('Course, now that it's Chase, I will eventually take my money out -- but that's only because I hate Chase.)

Last night I saw Jupiter through a telescope for the first time. I could even see the moons around it - four tiny points of light. It was beautiful.
