Dec. 27th, 2013 07:50 pm* A bombing in Lebanon took out a motorcade, including a politician who was doing a bunch of peace negotiation type things. Odds are high of it being Hezbollah, as he was opposed to them.
This is nightmarishly like the news reports from my childhood. It is hard to convey to people too young to remember the '70's how much scarier things used to be and how comparatively quiet things were until recently. Now the War in Syria spills into Lebanon and Egypt is scaring the shit out of me on a regular basis. I don't even want to start thinking about Yemen right now, and on and on.
* I see that asshole Shinzō Abe has been out rubbing Nationalist salt in the wounds of the survivors of the rape of Nanjing and their descendants again, as part of his program of pissing off the Chinese in order to rally Japanese hardliners for repealing Japan's Peace Constitution. You can likely guess the string of obscenities I am thinking right now.

* I started out shaky today. Yesterday was terrible physically. Hector is on day two of refusing me proper sleep. I am having trouble getting enough oxygen. I dragged myself out anyway as there was a problem with my driver's license I needed to sort out in person. As trips to the DMV go, this wasn't that bad. The wait was fairly short and the man did not charge me for fixing the problem and whisked be through at the best speed possible. This left just enough time for picking up yet more things I need for the new apartment, like a rod to hang clothes onfor my closet and some stupid planter trays. I need to remeasure the long planters. I may be fucked there, but that's now Monday's problem. Then Greenwick and I dismantled more things to get ready to take across Sunday. The amount is dishearteningly big and we really need a third person for Sunday. I am not holding my breath. I used pretty much all the spoons and am mostly still upright as I must eat somehow.
If I seem extra sweary and volatile, it's because all I really wanted to do to day is curl up in a ball and cry. I fucking hate being emotional but I haven't the soons for control.

Date: 2013-12-29 01:02 am (UTC)I've given up on Dr Who. I watched the anniversary special, I watched the Xmas one. I don't like Moffat. I don't like his long convoluted stories where he tries to pretend he's cleverer than he is. Meh. Dr Who. No more. I think that's me out of tv shows I watch now.
I hope you feel better.
