    Am I the only one that finds this amusing?  http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?cl=10234011

    During one of the most critical presidential debates, Joe the Plumber was referenced by both Senators 23 times. 

    20 days left til election time...  Joe does have a good point though - EDUCATE YOURSELVES.  Don't rely on others solely for your information.   Watch these debates over again if you can.  Research their campaigns.  Vote for what YOU believe in.

    Everyday it disturbs me to see that companies are forced to layoff their staff to stay alive in today's hard times.  I know it's a fact we are forced to reckon with, just a part of economic conditions but it still leaves you a little sullen with such a grim outlook.   And it's so different when you hear about it through the news, you know it happens… but then you start hearing about it more from companies that you might be even more familiar with…. but what really sucks is when you or your friends/family are directly affected by layoffs.

    These are tough times, and they say you should hang on to every penny and if you've got a stable job, don't take it for granted.  What can you do but just weather the storm?

    California gets a gust of Santa Ana winds every October.  In fact, I can't recall a windless October in my entire lifetime.  Today, a fire started in the San Fernando Valley and burned more than 10,000 acres under such unfavorable windy conditions.  For more details, see LA Times coverage:  http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-wildfire14-2008oct14,0,860012.story  It's always unfortunate how a natural disaster can just cause mass destruction so quickly.   My heart goes out to all the families who have been forced to evacuate and have lost anything in its path.   And kudos to the emergency response received from local firefighters, community evac centers, and many more.  More info:  http://www.oes.ca.gov/

    My heart skips a beat to:
    That really good song that you can put on repeat without getting tired of it, the perfect swish from nothing but net, bright colors that scream attention which I don't like to bask in, cars that remind me of cartoons, the right sneakers for every occasion, the honest "I've-missed-you" look my dog gives me when I come home, a quick run in the dark imagining someone is chasing me, anything kawaiiiiii, frozen desserts of many fulfilling kinds, heroes or arch-nemeses, life ambitions and carpe diem actions, exercising brain power, exploring So Cal, and eating food that is yummy-yummy, in my tummy. Did I mention I'm a web-junkie? Long live internet!
