The Stock Report

(I'm pretty sure I'm stealing this format from Hooper who used it once about 200 years ago)

In Body News...

Head Colds: are way down. I have one, I hate it, it makes me want lay down and die except that when I lay down I get even more congested so I guess it makes me want to stand up and die. Also it is making my left eye ache.

Constipation: Is up, or at least the good folks at "Mycolon Corp" have been thinking so for the past several days. The company has been warned by by it's major shareholder that if things don't change fast than Raisin Bran industries will be sent in for a hostile takeover and their first step will major overhaul aimed at eliminating waste.

Sleeping in: has suffered some major setbacks. Seems like these days I just don't sleep in as well (with about a week of notable exceptions a while back). In general though I have been going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. But even when I don;t go to be early (like last night) I'm still tending to wake up a bit earlier every day. It's Wierd.

Being a morning person: has gained some significant ground as I get used to the idea of actually accomplishing significant things before noon.

And now for the Internet Report

Blogging in general has been down drastically over the past few months because basically the internet stinks. Sites that have gotten noticeably worse as of late include YouTube, Facebook, and Wesleyan.org (not that it was ever good but it at least used to be up). And now for a more focused blog annalysis.

Kirk Perry's Blog is pretty much dead
Kelly Thomas' Blog is pretty much dead though still the quality fair we have come to love we it does occasionally get updated.
Mark Brewer stocks have fallen somewhat lately as his posts have become quite hit and miss
AJ Thomas has become somewhat erratic in his posting shaking reader confidence.
Blogging as a common practice is pretty much over
And the big loser in the Blog game these days is Keith Drury's Tuesday Column. He has stayed constant but quality is way down and it seems like alot of revisiting the same old issues. Hard to put your finger precisely on what is missing but it seems less provocative, less people care to respond which means even less people are really interested. Because I like Drury and choose to believe the best I'll say that my theory is that he is in the middle of writing an awesome book and is using his best mojo there.
Blogs that are up - Matt Rose and Sarah Canny.
Robin White is holding steady with his weekly pulp about his japanese adventures.

Rounding out the online world the Mob Boss app for Facebook skyrocketed over the weekend but is now settling into a pretty fair price as the initial rush wears off and I get somewhat bored.

And finally we turn to daily life news;

Oat cakes are up as a delicious and relatively healthy snack available at most coffee shops.
Kleenex with lotion have received a huge bump due to the head cold mentioned above.
Benylin is holding steady at best since it seems to do pretty much nothing
Cold water is pretty much always on the rise since it's wonderful
Napping has fallen sharply with the meteoric rise of my Cpap machine and breathing all night.
Head colds are dropping even further in this section because they mean I can;t use my machine.

And Hoodies have reached an all time high because no other article of clothing creates and actual positive emotional response when I put it on like a hoodie. It's like I'm wrapping myself in happiness.
