We do make our best art in times like these, so there is that…

:) I saw Martin McDonagh's play The Cripple of Inishmaan not too long ago here in Ann Arbor, (near Detroit, Michigan), and it was fantastic. A week ago I saw Beckett's Watt and Endgame at the same theater, back to back. Watt was pretty good, but I couldn't take Endgame.

Being from Detroit, I can empathize with the feeling that a bit of hard times makes for great art. The city is pretty awful to live in, but it's very creative.

Ireland's in a weird place right now, the economy grew last quarter ahead of expectations but so did unemployment. What'll happen next, who knows?

That seems to be a theme. The US economy seems like some guy that just stood up after getting hit in the head. It looks like he might be ok, then he wobbles, then he steadies himself, then he wobbles again...
