creepy crawly
Jun. 24th, 2009 05:17 pmMy skin is healing. Much of that healing was done last night in my sleep, and I swear to you I FELT MY SKIN KNITTING. I had the creepy crawlies all night, and it kept waking me up. Last year when I had the spider infestation, one would occasionally walk on me in my sleep, and the similarity of the sensations had me checking the bed over all night. Verified: no bugs.
I have a coworker at the current temp gig who has a strong psychosomatic response to the mere sight or mention of a bug. He gets itchy all over. And it is taking all my restraint not to tell him about last night and watch him freak out.
I swear I'm not a bad person.

Walk softly, and carry a big stick
Jun. 24th, 2009 05:49 pmI'm not happy with Obama's defense of DOMA. That's going to be a given until he reverses it.
But I have to say, I am pleased at the different approach he is taking to our international image. I can imagine that in a couple of years, we will be respected again as a nation, and not just feared.
So, what are your news priorities right now?
Mine are:
Iranian protests
Bombs in Iraq (hey, remember that war?)
North Korea (either Russia or China is gonna get fed up real soon, I think)
Pakistani citizens turning on the Taliban (we should be more careful about where we bomb them)
Israel (those treaties they signed? they should abide by them)
What else?
