A Complete Explanation Of Everything

I've been growing increasingly snippy in my various online contributions recently.

I suppose it's a reflection that I don't think there is that much to laugh about when domestically and internationally, we are facing an enormous credit crunch and the damage that the unwinding of a massive speculative bubble in property is going to rend.

I've also not been anywhere for a bit, though I have a trip to Amsterdam and tix for The Hold Steady next week.

Perhaps, it's 2008 cabin fever afflicting me already or I just badly need to get laid.
