- Financial news: Okay, Lehman's declaring bankruptcy. Merrill and AIG ae scrambling to avoid same. The gov't is taking control they should have never given up in the first place of Fannie and Freddie. Gas is spiking again because of Ike. I don't know to what degree any of you follow financial stuff, but it's hard to miss when you live in NYC even if that sort of shit has no direct impact on your life. Anyway. This shit is bad. And it wil trickle down, even if just via sentiment. Sentiment can fuck an economy.

- Another lovely day on Governors' Island. Some of redstapler's friends took fabulous pictures of me and I finally got to meet Ifan. Meanwhile, Michael Aranella and his Dreamland Orchestra can't possibly imagine how much Torchwood porn I'm going to write listening to this utterly scrumptous CD. There's nothing like a slutty tuba and a sleazy trombone.

- I love Trader Joe's. Today: 2 boxes of mini tacos, 1 pack of garlic sausage, 2 jars of salsa, 2 frozen enchilada lunches, 2 boxes of candy, 1 pould of ground beef: $30. That's like 12 meals and snacks for me.

- Patty got me a documents box today in this awesome burnt umber color and it looks flash and I can divide it up into sections for my various correspondence and yay.

- True Blood in a moment and then some work before bed.

- Really damn nice weekend.

- I still need to catch up on email.

What do you think of True Blood?? I haven't watched the second episode yet but I loved the first episode. Of course, I'm a huge fan of the Southern Gothic genre anyhow and its nice to see on my television screen.

I haven't seen anyone else on my friends list posting about it actually - you're the first.

I didn't love the first episode, but was willing to give it a chance because a lot of small things in it interested me. I loved the second episode because the actors are doing nice work about memory and history and war and it could have been a real throwaway in anything vampire related.
