i'm not a crook!
hehehehe.
so i'm sitting here thinking about just how far g dubya's pants were down on our national crisis. and the fact that two white folks were described as having "found" bread and soda while a black teen was described as "looting" the same products. something to think about. we're seeing some serious second class treatment of our citizens here right now. soldiers taking bribes for people to get onto buses out of New Orleans and such. things that make the donation of resources from all the nations around the world seem worthless and petty. there are times when i'm sad to say i'm from the same country, much less species, as people who would exploit need for personal gain. you don't do that. ever. period.
past that i'm reading a few books, on a much lighter note. picked up the philosophical great Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" and i've started Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" while i'm trying to finish Jonathan Safran Foer's "Everything is Illuminated." last one is very nice i've just had other things on my mind lately. but i'm making a push to finish soon.
what else...what else...one of my coworkers did what we've been waiting for since she started leaning on our pull-out bag-mates. you know the ones that you see in the grocery stores to make it easier to bag up all the items? yeah, we have those, too. she was basically sitting on it and the thing ripped out of the plywood into which it was screwed. so we all hear this loud crack, see andrea (said coworker) laying on the floor and the pull-out is bent over to one side. hilarious. haven't laughed so hard since i actually managed a funny on the level of jon stewart. it was less jew-y, though. yeah, that's spelled J-E-W-Y. hehehehe, silly jon stewart. anywho life is great.
that is all.

Let me know what you think of "The Bell Jar"...I've been intending to read it.

the first 20 pages are bomb so far, lol.
sounds very sylvia so far.
i loved "everything is illuminated," though. definitely worth reading. in fact, you should read that before the bell jar. just trust me. i had tears in my eyes at the end and i didn't know if they were happy or sad. probably both. but it was the perfect end for yesterday because it really focuses on the choices we take. even those choices we make because we have to but wouldn't ever tell anyone about. it's an intense final 70 pages.

straight up, geezer. it's really sad that it's taking something like 10,000 more deaths to make people realize that all bush is good for is lying to the american people. he hasn't done a thing to make this place safer. not one thing. so that's what's making me the angriest about this whole thing. i don't care that he's a republican- some of our greatest presidents were- and i don't care that i didn't vote for him what matters here is helping the people down there. the frank truth is that all the people who are writing commentaries about how he's not doing anything are doing just that themselves. they're basking in the glow of being right instead of making a difference. of all the times not to sit back and say "i told you so" this is one of the most important.
