Are you surprised by this?

So far, the stock market isn't too thrilled with it. The Dow was hovering around the opening price all morning, but dropped right after the announcement. Currently residing at down 165 points (13,561.69).

Thanks! Her due date was Friday and she had an elective induction planned, but she chickened out. But now he's in such a hurry to come that my Mom doesn't think she's going to make it in time for the birth. My sis has been at the hospital since 9 am but didn't call anyone!

This is one of those few times I really REALLY hate living out of state

.

I wish I could be there!

I'm not surprised by turning a year older on my birthday, but I celebrate it none the less.

I am disappointed it wasn't a half point cut, but I didn't realistically expect they'd be that bold. I think if they were going to make any bold moves it would be after the holidays when it's more likely to have an impact, but as things stand, my guess is they'll stick to quarter point cuts for the next meeting or two.

They also seem to have an abundance of dorm-room appliances, some of which are bundled together. They probably figure everyone gets their fork somewhere else, but a student might need a blender for their non-alcoholic slushees *cough*.

I figured I could steal some forks from the stands around campus, but 40 might show up as suspicious.

The Parking gods apparently smiled upon me today. When I returned from Ralphs there was an awesome spot, directly across from where my previous spot was. Or it was a karmic award for all the lousy spots I've had in my time at CSULB.

The stock market is really not liking that it was only a quarter point drop. Dow is now down 293.

Hooray for good parking! And forks!

And $3 sake and lobster rolls.

I saw a Delorean dressed up to look like the Back to the Future time machine driving around Glendale just now. The driver was dressed like Doc Brown... wig and all.

AND

I was at a restaurant for lunch today. Sitting next to me were a bunch of Disney suits. Disney name tags, etc. The suits at the table were discussing something heated. What I heard really quick was this, "How on Earth can they get them all back into the fishtank? It makes no sense."
I laughed, I was thinking they were talking about Nemo 2 or something like that. Could be, you never know.

But did it signal before a lane change?
