so...

[timepiececlock]

We're going to war.

There's a new plague in Asia and Canada and probably gonna start here too.

This is the last year of Buffy and Lord of the Rings.

I'm losing my civil rights.

My feet are cold and I'm out of clean socks.

My not-elected President is an ass.

Damn, the world is coming to an end.

Uhh...plague? What plague?

Re:

ah....there's some incurable pneumonia (sp?) thing that's killed like six people in Cananda, a few in Asia, and on doctor in American doctor guy who was in Asia is sick now. There's CDC alerts and stuff.

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Just what I need to hear.

And I'm thrilled by Toronto's proximity to NYC. Just thrilled. Thanks for the war, guys :)

Hold me?

Or... just pass the vodka.

*Sigh* This is why God created DVD's & fanfic, though, right?

Sorry, this is all I have. But it tastes good, and will get you drunk fast enough.

[luna-k.livejournal.com]

Yummy nummy!

War? Wha war? Ib gomme brandy!

It is TOTALLY why God created DVDs and fanfic.

And friends...that's why we have friends. As long as they don't sneeze on us or nothin.

That new SARS thing (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is scary indeed, but it's only just been identified, so I'm not willing to think of it as incurable yet. More info at: http://www.cdc.gov/travel/other/acute_resp_syn_multi_031503.htm

"Buffy" is going out in style, in a planned way.

I have no idea what's up with LOTR.

War. Loss of civil rights. Big time scary. George W., his Daddy, and a whole bunch of conservatives just like them have been chipping away at our rights for decades. Before them, it was somebody else. We can't ever rest. It's like vampire slaying.

Socks. This has a remedy. Meanwhile, wrap your footses in a blankie or some sweaters. Or...do you have a dog? They make good foot warmers.

This president is, IMO, a super maxi ass. But most presidents are annoying as hell, and all beholden to special interests, and that's why we have three branches of government, and checks and balances, and separation of church and state, and a free press. Not that this Cabinet likes any of those pesky detriments to efficiency.

The world isn't ending. Our high standard of living might be, and certainly the way the world looks is changing. But it's always doing that. When I was a wee tiny brat, none of my playmates and I thought there'd even be a world by the turn of the century. Just a smoking radioactive cinder, is what we thought.

Before that - can you imagine how horrifically scary it would have been in 1941, when no one knew how the war would end? No one knew. You can just go back and back till forever, till wolves and saber-tooth tigers, and it's always been dicey, and it's always looked really grim.

Not that we can be all la la la. I'm just saying....umm, I'm saying we can deal. I'm also saying pass me the whiskey....

thanks for the info about SARS. I didn't know it had a name-- though isn't using both 'severe' & 'accute' sort of redundant?

I have no idea what's up with LOTR.

Well, there's one third left of the book, which means one more movie. After that... I'll be a fan left out in the cold without the promise of more every christmas.

"super maxi ass" ::snert::

The world isn't ending.

No, but obviously my indecipherable sarcasm is, because it doesn't seem to be doing it's job.

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

isn't using both 'severe' & 'acute' sort of redundant?

I think as a medical term, acute is more specific than just meaning severe. I believe it refers to something that is severe but has a brief course, rather than something that's chronic.

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Ah. great. So it kills you before they can develop a cure, too. lovely.

[caille.livejournal.com]

Rashaka, you know I appreciate your sarcasm, don't you? You know I didn't mean to act like I think you're clueless or something? It's just that I'm here, and you're there, so hugs must be virtual.

Hugs, Hugs and More Hugs

Uhhh, where in Canada? 'Cause the province I live in is the closest one to Asia... eep.

*goes to look for info*

[girlwithjournal.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...do you think there's any way I can move to another planet?

Re:

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I hear Planet Krikkit is nice.

anniesj deserves a big smooch for that icon. :)
