OK. So I'm the biggest dork, and you'd think that I won the lottery today based on how I'm acting.  I got an email from my old psych Prof. today inviting me to a celebration for one of his graduate students who is defending her dissertation tomorrow.  Granted, it was to quite a few other people, but I was still on there anyway, so I'm going. I'm really happy and excited for her, and I'm also glad to hear from my Prof.

I have no idea what to think of London today...it's definately eerie and shocking. Such a violent world we live in. Although when I was watching CNN this morning before work, some reporter-dude was musing about how "...we've let our guard down, and began focusing on missing girls in Aruba and shark bites...it's no wonder we got attacked again..."

1.  WE MUST ALWAYS LIVE IN FEAR to prevent attacks! Somehow I think not. But you know, it will get you re-elected (or elected for first time, depending on how you view the 2000 election), generate hatred, and money...

2. Umm, that's your own damn fault, lame-ass newsreporter, for focusing on one, single missing girl and a string of shark bites instead of the nukes in North Korea, the G8 summit, world hunger, AIDS, Global warming, the precarious status of our surpreme court, our crappy school systems....

3. We are not Brittian, you pompous  idiot. Even though Tony Blair (much to my dissappointment) has become Bush's puppet, you cannot speak for their greiving nation as if you were one of them.

4. #1 re-visited. How the hell does constantly reporting about terror help the situation? If anything, it's crying wolf.

That's it today. I was supposed to be looking at grad schools. So much for motivation.
