My house got broken into last week, and then we had a rock thrown through a window a few days later (possibly related). So I had to deal with a bunch of stuff last week, and am still dealing with stuff today, and I need to catch up at work, yada yada yada....
All of which is to say the post I wanted to write about TLR's being involved in itching sensation (me? neuroscience?), might have to be postponed until tomorrow. In the mean-time, I hope you enjoy this song I've been listening to a lot recently.
What sort of music do you listen to to get through stressful/eventful times?

Well, it's that time again. With the world economy in crisis, and the administration sticking to it's "Everything's gonna be OK" strategy, our candidates are holding a "town hall"-style debate.
Remember the revelation back a year or so ago that Exxon Mobil knew all about the likely effects of the global warming they contributed to, and the subsequent denials by Exxon that this was not true, yada yada yada?
That sounds really awful with your house - I hope you manage to get things sorted soon.
In terms of music - when I'm feeling really stressy I usually go for proper old-school metal and hard rock. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath usually do it. Listening to Black Sabbath playing "iron man" a few times is nicely cathartic - and also for a brief period of time kills my hearing ability, so I can't hear anything else to upset me :)
Sorry about your house. How close are you to Montreal? I noticed Dennis M'abuse posting on your other article.
Your SITN link needs to be updated to include the "HTTP://" or something, because it's defaulting to a scienceblogs URL.
Thanks - fixed.
We're about 6 hours from Montreal. I haven't been up to Canada since I was like 7 years old, but I should make a point of getting up there some time soon.
This is disturbing. You are "stressy"? I would think so. Is this being investigated? Are you on someone's `1et's get that guy and his microbes' list?
It's my first time reading your blog, and maybe none of my business, but you brought it up.
