thebratqueenToday feels like a good day. It's that perfect temperature where opening all the windows makes the house feel like the definition of "fresh air".
Plus I don't have work so I get to be lazy and do whatever I want to. This will include cooking, editing the next Million Miles Away story, and working on an essay I wanna write in response to one of the advice questions someone asked me.
I've tried watching the news but I just can't. The amount of propaganda being shown disgusts me, and the rah rah cheering over Shock and Awe makes me want to vomit. Actually Shock and Awe itself just makes me want to vomit, but the cheering doesn't help. I touch base with the news every now and again because it would sicken me more to think that another bombing like A-Day could happen while I'm over here all "la la la gay sex" and oblivious, but other than that nada.
I actually thought about doing a long rant about Shock and Awe, and about how crass it is, and how blatent the manipulation is that mass destruction like this is given a name to catch our attention like it was some kind of god-damned Nike commercial, but then I realized this is a lily that doesn't need guilding. Nobody needed to have the horror of 9-11 explained to them because I daresay it was pretty obvious. I'm going to likewise go out on a limb and assume that nobody needs to be told how disgusting this is either.
At least - nobody here at any rate. The news media is another issue, but there we are.
