omg

exchange rate

I'm pretty sure nobody has ever been as excited about an exchange rate as I am right now. I might explode if it actually makes it to 100. Please, please, never let it drop back down to 75 again. (From now on, we'll refer to that period as "the dark days" and speak of it only in hushed voices.)

Is it weird that this is making me want to watch Veronica Mars?

Nope. Not just because I spent all of yesterday watching the total soar but also because the first season of VM was great TV. Oh, wait, did you mean rewatch? Never mind, then. But if you haven't watched it, do. Smoldering. Super-awesome dad. Snark.

(See how I'm not whining about how this is not the post I was hoping to see?) [Curse you, parenthetical of revealing what we were doing such a good job of concealing!] (Howdy, brackets of drama!)

How much do I love the potato picture? Seriously.

LOL, I bet Japan itself is almost as excited as you are. About a year or so ago, Japan was like, "um, let's deflate our currency" and the world was like "we're scared, so NO" and it just got worse. Glad to see it's inching up to 100. (With prices as they are, I don't even think I'll mind $20 shipping!)

I have a widget on my work computer that always shows the yen-dollar exchange rate. I smile every time I look at it now, though I can't help but remember the good ole days of complaining when the yen went under 110 to the dollar...

The exchange rate is driving me bonkers with all the up and down. I'm on the Euro so 125 is like a gift and then it drops down to 118 and goes up to 125 again only to go down to 122 and now raise slowly to 123... It's all better than the all time low of, I think, 97, but when I think back to the high of 170... oh, I still dream of that.
