So there's this big kerfuffle going on about some political cartoons from some Danish newspaper or something... Heh. Of course, I am on top of things as usual by following my typical method of finding things out days after they have first occured. I was watching the news to kill a few minutes and of course all three effing channels have the same damn clips about the whole deal. And, I have a few grips of my own about this. First off, guys, could we maybe change it up a bit? A little variety in sound bites would be really great. Second, you do realize that the cartoons are only offending to certian people right? So stop calling them offending. Just say "the cartoons in question" or "the afore mentioned cartoons". Third, would you people stop fucking whining about it already?!? I try really hard to be understanding about other cultures and religions, but damn you make it difficult. Just stop it already with the riots and the screaming and yelling. I dunno, maybe it's something in the air over where you guys are. Lots of fighting and what not.
If I wanted to see the whole "loot, pillage, burn" thing, I'd build a time machine and go back to the Medieval days.
I guess I'm all cranky about this because I don't even know what the cartoons looked like in the frist place and I came in halfway through the show. Hard for me to take sides and argue. Also, yes the cartoon is offensive to some. However, to others it is an insight into how the artists views certian things. Correct me if I am wrong, but is that not the point?
Or maybe I'm just too laid back about this sort of thing. I don't go getting all pissy when someone makes a cartoon about my political party, or a leader that I am in favor of. Good point here would be the little pictures that came out just after Pope Benedict was elected. Yes, the ones that made him look like Emperor Palpatine. I looked, shook my head and went on with my day. Could just be me, but I think that's the whole point and some people out there are missing it.
Whatever, I'll shut up now. I can hardly spell correctly and the keyboard won't stay focused.

PS. Hey Kitten, I love you.

FUCK YOU REVENUE CANADA!

Correcting a mistake from yesterday's post. I failed to mention someone rather important.

Love you Kitten!

I really don't update this thing often enough. And I've got body glitter all over. More on that later.

Interesting things I have done as of late:

Well, I managed to read five novels in the last.... four days. I've got two more here, one in transit to the library for me and I'm probably going to request a few more when the TRAC system is back up. Apparently it's down until Friday. For those wondering what a trac is, it's an online library catalogue. Stands for The Regional Automation Consortium. Means that I've got access to every book in Central Alberta. Actually I think it might be all of Alberta, I'm not sure. Anyways, I make use of it. Alot.

My mom and little brother Luke came and visited last weekend. I had a surprisingly good time chatting with my mom and Luke was thrilled to finally get his visit in. Kept mom from being cranky by insisting that she watch Robin Williams: Live on Broadway with me. Didn't get to finish it but she laughed pretty damn good for what we did see.

Only have one more episode to go in Firefly. Now, I'm not going to rave about it, I'm not a hardcore fan. But I have to say it's pretty damn amusing at times. I would have liked to see it go a little further but at the same time, given what Joss Whedon did with Angel and Buffy, maybe it's just as well.


Stupid but self amusing things I have done as of late:

Got eyeliner on my foot. I didn't realise that the pencil had fallen on the floor in the bathroom and I stepped on it. Pretty pretty blue all over my foot. Bright blue.

Applied lipstick to inside of pants pocket. Note to self: make sure the cap is on properly before putting into pocket.

Bodyglitter from head to toe. The little container of glitter that I have was open and when I put it on the dresser...POOF! All kinds of shiney and pretty. Though some in places it probably wasn't meant to be. Like my nose.
