A foul mood temporarily sullied my evening last night. I've made almost a full recovery though I'm still feeling fairly contemplative. I got all kinds of angry about the lack of coverage on the Gaza Strip last night. My beloved News Hour gave it a brief mention sandwiched between the increasing violence in Afghanistan and an interesting piece about just how bad things have gotten in Iraq despite the recent Cabinet announcements. The Iraq news is so insignificant I can't even find a link. Jesus. I just read that the House voted to deny even more aid to the Palestinians because nothing quells violence quite like empty stomachs and unpaid government workers. And Hayden's nomination is moving to the full Senate. 12-3 was the final tally. There are 8 Republicans and 7 Democrats on the committee. Wyden (D) and Feingold (D) confirmed that they were 2 of the 3 no votes. Way to go party unity and for sticking up for your constituents constitutional rights by confirming the man behind the phone-trolling. And way to go America for once again not caring.
Mayhaps that foul mood hath not left me.
Thankfully, Married to the Sea came up with one just for me today: socially irresponsible.
I'm making the trek home today on foot. And I'm going to do something really, really dangerous. I'm going to read and walk. This has become one of my favorite pleasures since the weather has become so nice. It reminds me of the years I spent as a child with my nose in the latest Ramona book as I aimlessly wandered about. No Ramona today, though. I just got Scrolling Forward: Making Sense of Documents in the Digital Age by David Levy.
Just in case you were still unsure whether or not I am a complete geek.
