Lol, we see no stars at summer because we have 24 hours of daylight. I live in an average big city and the stars are less visible (winter time) because of all the lights in the city, but the Milky Way is visible anyway when the skies are clear.
Spain won! Hurrah! Spain was the better team and the Dutch were brutes. Only one red card to the Dutch, they actually earned three. Jong should not only have got a red card, he should be put for trial for assault.
Loads of goal opportunities and only one goal! It was 0-0 at full time, it could have been 2-2 or more.
Shakira had a performance? I missed that! Aw. I kind of have the hots for her so I'd love to watch it. It was a sexy performance? Arggh I so should have wathed it lol.

She's a great artist yes. Beautiful voice.
You talk about the general economy and the job market I think. I concentrate on the currencies. The general economy of course have an big impact on the value of a particular currency, but it's not only that that influences it. And little liquidity means that little currency is being traded, and that causes much bigger volatility. So news, good or bad, that normally would have limited impact on the currency market can have a big impact. The volatility is typically for summers, it has not so much to do with the general trend of the economy.
