Another hit from a cute, fun British girl-pop band (is there any other kind?).

Awesome stuff, get a kick out of Jack Webb explaining to the Anointed One how things work:

Looks like one of my favorite shows about movies is getting a new look and with both of the critics I’d originally hoped Roger Ebert would have chosen to replace Siskel years ago. This is looking good and it’s time to add AtM to my TiVO once again.

I am pumped and very happy after my first week of forex trading. I started off rocky by stupidly trying to trade the British Pound on a bank holiday for them. But after a few losses here and there, I ended up doing much better than most noobs, actually increasing the balance of my trading account by 10% on the week.

Not bad for my first week, right?

On a rainy day, this is just the kind of song you need. Harken back to bygone days and shadowy glens whilst enjoying the song which might as well be the Irish national anthem. It’s hard to imagine anyone doing it better than the Celtic Woman troupe, particularly one of the original soloists, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha.

Seems about, yep, about a month ago I thought I’d be updating this blog more often as I got my new venture underway. But progress has been slow learning (and practicing) forex trading. In fact, it has taken up all my time, so much so that I’m not socializing very much, including doing any gaming. Weird, I can’t recall the last time I spent as much of my time trying to learn something as complex and demanding as this.

There is still a good chance I will fail, of course. But at least I plan to start Live trading this week. I have at least one very good strategy to employ during overnight trading sessions and will also be practicing on small lots during the weekdays. If you’d like to learn more about what the hell I’m talking about, check this link for a quick, simple explanation of Forex Trading.

Also, I am Facebooking like a mother these past few weeks. I’d pretty much let that whole social-networking thing pass me by; always thought it was a huge waste of time. It probably still is, but damn near everyone I know is doing it so Yours Truly jumped aboard.

The great Pat Condell is back and I’m wasting no time in featuring his latest video on my blog. Check out what Pat has to say about the latest shift in the political spectrum regarding the West’s fight against this growing tide of medieval darkness.

I know this past month has been the longest time since I updated the blog with a new post, but I have been really trying to make my most recent business ventures work. Unfortunately, internet retail is in bad shape along with the rest of the economy.

However, I am going back to my trading classes and taking a fresh look at a new field: currency trading. I have been reading up on FOREX and hope to try my hand at trading a small account in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, the weather is nice, the Renaissance Faire is opening soon, and I hope to make new posts a more frequent occurrence at Merchantprince!
