So, I clicked on the link to her flick'r acct and was greeted with:

Salaam Gn2Dlnd!
Now you know how to greet people in Arabic!

And that was weird.

OK, warning for everyone. It shows graphic images from September 11th, 2001. I turned it off after 7 seconds.

I didn't see your warning, BTD, I got as far as 8 seconds.

I happen to think I have a pretty good voice. And I'd like to run for President some day. I hadn't previously considered combining these activities, but once the whole 9/11 hullabaloo dies down I think we should add karaoke competitions to the usual debate cycle.

I see it's time to start avoiding all news sources and some broadcast tv channels... the deluge has begun.

Thought this was an interesting info-graphic on the impact of 9/11 on civil liberties:

MSNBC is rerunning the NBC coverage from that day. It's just as intense, even after you know what happened and it's truly amazing how composed Tom Brokaw and all the other broadcasters were.

This is the first year I have actively sought out coverage and I'll probably regret it tonight when the images burned into my brain 10 years ago are brought front and center.

We've spent the day avoiding coverage. Watched morris dancing and rock cello. Did a ton of laundry. Unpacked a box. Bathed the cat. Watched Star Trek. Looking forward to the media returning to its usual pandering to the unwashed masses.

I was productive today as well. Bought and assembled a new Ikea bed, disposed of an old one, cleaned kitchen and office, did important business-related paperwork - made myself a szechuan stir fry with beef, broccoli, carrots and red and yellow peppers. (Pretty good.) All the while, I listened to science, skeptical and Biblical criticism podcasts.

I'm toying with watching United 93 before bedtime. Haven't done anything all day to "observe the occasion" - - - -so.

But I don't seem to be in the mood for such an intense movie. Funny, I never seen to be in the mood to watch that film. Purchased it. Never in the mood to watch it. Heh.

I have the 9/11 documentary (the one by the French guys from inside WTC) on DVD. After that, all other coverage seems trite and cloying.

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 03:54 AM.
