Well. I was thinking of waiting 2 whole years before I'd update this again. But I really felt like writing a rant. So, I did. But then I realized that, not having posted anything in such a long time, I really should put up a general post, and attach the rant to that. So, I did. Here

Ah! My goodness, how're you doing?

[someoneingrey]

i'm doing well, i'm a year from my masters... and trying to finish the semester... one more paper for the semester... which i'm slacking on right now... (oops)

how're you?

[somebodyelse]

More well than not. :)

So, I'm sorry, you'll have to remind me what you were getting your masters in.

Sorry to hear about the bookstore job...anything else on the horizon?

And sorry for being so bad about e-mailing...I just realized that I never replied to your message on Facebook. Anyway, post-New Years, we should do something.

[somebodyelse]

Thankfully there are yet further connections across the interwebs, so that when one network fails, a second picks it up. :)

Yes, let's get ideas for what going now, and we can figure out the when later. So... Lunch? Dinner? Museum? Else?

[nayrb5]

Hmm...lunch or a museum sounds pretty good. Perhaps both!

Problem with oil speculation is that they were (to a certain degree) self-fulfilling prophecies. A high price estimate for oil causes a rush in buying, thereby pushing the price up to or near the estimate.
One prediction that I was happy to hear about: RBS's credit / stock crash alert in June/July.

[somebodyelse]

Yeah. I also heard conspiracy theories over the summer that the stock market was planned to crash specifically in September and voila!

But yes, you are probably correct about it being self-fulfilling, but they were bashing it for being wrong when it really wasn't.

[rightwinger]

I think you're right about it not really being wrong, given that some of the early events which helped to turn the price tide (especially on the part of China) were completely unforeseen and were necessary to turn the price back.

[rightwinger]

Oh, and, I'm sorry to hear about your job.

[thisgirliknow]

whoa. hi.

[somebodyelse]

Yo. So, did we ever get that annulment?

[thisgirliknow]

Something like that. I hope.
