Thank you to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday. I really appreciate it.
I spent the day having easy meals (with food I'd set aside for today) and reading comic books: Nextwave Agents of H.A.T.E, & Shadowpact. Also caught up on new episodes of BLEACH.
I'd meant to top the evening off either watching The 10th Kingdom or LOTR.
But 2008 had to suck and it overwhelmed and I ended up crashing and sleeping for a bit. Which wasn't a bad thing. The bad thing was having one friend get robbed and not want to tell me why they were upset for fear of harshing my groove. And another having a complete breakdown because of something on going.
I've realized quite viscerally that I cannot punt my caring to the side even for a few hours. The conflict of trying not to ask questions or give comfort or get more details sent me head back into slightly pained dozing in an uncomfortable position which the cat tried to take advantage off by using my face as a pillow.
I've had some sleep now and I'm not avoiding going 'OMFG that SUCKS!'.
All in all except for these two incidents, a very pleasant birthday that I wish could have been pleasanter for said friends.
The bright side about having a Birthday Month, however, is I still have 20 days to go to enjoy having been born.
But do note. If I had magic powers. I'd be torturing a thief right now and already in Boston with flashcards that say [[Very Comforting Huggles ]] (and yes that's a reference the general public's just not going to get).

Once again I spent the entire day, an hour behind. The revelation that it's now past 6pm and not 5pm just upsets some plans, cause some places close at 5:30 or 6pm itself. And it explains why when I called for information about something they were already closed and just ---
I hate the new Daylight Savings Time dates. HATE IT.

Uhm,
Did anyone else know it's Law in Texas that if some kid in school answers on his school test the question of "How was the earth created" with "By G-d in 7 Days" - he's supposed to get that marked correct??
Did anyone else know that Oklahoma is trying to do the same?
Am I the only one feeling like there's some weird time travel / dimension influencing device and the Republican Party has been given access via neo-coms who got into science for the sheer purpose of creating it?
I phase my thoughts like this mostly because I think if a pagan child wrote down 'Sheela Na Gig Did It' - they'd get marked wrong. And if a Jewish child declared what the year was by Jewish counting, they'd also get marked wrong.
And what about someone saying 'My Dog Did It' because their family has just started a religion all about Rufus The Great Canine Savior. Ok, maybe not. But then again, I'm not sure how one starts a religion in America.
Will First Nations Students in Texas and Oklahoma be marked wrong if they put down information about the Earth being on the back of a Turtle, or being the body of a Sky Mother?
An acquaintance of mine who's military is being transferred to Germany. And her refrain so far has been "Praise Thor I'm Getting The Hell Out Of Oklahoma." Of course she's scared that when she gets back to the US, things will seriously have changed. She couched these fears somewhat humorously.
I... no longer think they're quite so far fetched.
The Earth Revolves Around - G-d
It Rains Because - Of G-d
Fire Is Hot Because - G-d Says So
Uhm... Is anyone else getting flashbacks to the Trial of Galileo ?
one bill to rule them all...and in the stupidity blind them
