breaking news

arafat's dead

from today's NY times

"Republican leaders were promising to renew efforts to pass bills that Democrats had blocked, like one permitting drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge"

please, people, i beg of you.  do not let this happen.  these are preserves.  it will take about 5 years of drilling to produce the oil, and the estimates say that tere's only enough oil there to supply 6 months of consumption.

do not let them destroy the refuge!

bah humbug

this guy gets on the subway yesterday.  there's a single seat open between two women.  as he goes to sit, he murmurs "excuse me" - excellent subway etiquette.  the woman to his right says "What?!"  so he clarifies: "i'd like to sit here".  then he gestures toward the seat.  also fine.

she says "I'M not sitting there.  that seat is OPEN!"

she then proceeds to chew him out for politely giving her notice that his ass was going to be in close contact to hers.

guy looks over at me.  i try to do the sympathetic eye thing without the woman noticing.  he looks mortified.  everyone on the train suddenly has other things to look at.  and the woman sat back, andget this - she looked satusfied!  like she'd put him in his place!

ooh, smack chart.  btw, way to be oversensitive about the size of her saddlebags...

tired

it's already been a long week, and it's only monday.  i don't want questions or sympathetic comments here, i just want to put my thoughts down somewhere outside of my head.  after a weekend which took a lot out of me in many ways i found out that a friend has been in an accident, unclear how serious the accident was.  no one really has any details, so now i just have to wait continue on my general path of blind faith.

no, not blind.  stubborn determined faith.

ok - now back to work.
