Blackout

[webcowgirl]

There is no war yet, and already I am feeling like I did on September 13th, or was it the 12th? I want to stop reading the front page, stop visiting the New York Times online, stop listening to NPR, just put a blackout on all news. I can't handle the tension, I can't do anything about it, I don't want to know what's happening since it's all so horrible and it's just going to get worse. Am I a coward to do it or a coward not to do it?

Can someone email me if North Korea lobs a bomb toward Seattle?

How about those Oscars! I bet The Hours wins best picture, Renee whasserface for best actress, Jack Nicholson for best actor, Julie whazzerface for best supporting actress, and who cares about best supporting actor anyway!

no news

I think the thing that frustrates me about most of the Iraq news is what bothered me about the ongoing September 11th coverage, there was maybe 10 to 20 minutes of actual information that just kept getting repeated over and over for 3 days.

If they would give me the 10 minute update of the new info for the day and just bloody get on with other stuff I wouldn't mind so much but the 24x7 repetition gets annoying and old fast.

Your are totally right. I don't give a rat's ass about how troops are living on an aircraft carrier but I was completely caught up in an analysis of the Iraqi Kurds on NPR today. I have been wondering what's going on with them and getting their point of view was very informative.
