Dearest Friends,

I have lost someone very special to me, suddenly and without warning. He was my physician, but he was also a true friend to myself, my family, and all who knew him. He called me the day he died just to see how I was doing... I am struggling to make meaning out of this shocking and senseless tragedy.

Todays Lesson: if you...

Sorry for your loss friend.

That is an important lesson, sadly nothing teaches it as well as the loss of someone close.

I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. smile

...so I slept through Friday night after spending the better part of the day in traffic - grateful to be employed, don't get me wrong - just a little disappointed to have missed the butt sniffing at the local watering hole is all... So now it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm watching Freaks and Geeks by myself in my underwear, feeling simultaneously lonely and...

Dearest Friends,

I just saw a PSA for tsunami relief which featured Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr. sitting side by side and appealing for your dollars. I'm not entirely sure why, but somehow it was the most deeply unsettling thing I have ever seen in this world. Thoughts?

Far more importantly, however, my new favorite tv show is Matlock. Now there is one cat...

experienced an unwelcome first this evening: got a headache that was so bad it actually made me puke! the whole thing started in the library stacks trying to find ancient volumes of The Nation, volumes which the computer says are there, and yet are not.

Wow, 1967.... I'd like to see a pic of your car. I know what you mean it's creepy when someone you dont know is in your stuff... or using it, it just feels scary. Maybe we shouldnt care so much about "just stuff" but its still fucked up. I got annoying head ache, I think it's because I havent had Pepsi for two days, really, I think I'm addicted to it and I have to stop it.
severus:
Love your profile pic by the way even if it's a bit blurry it's Emma smile

thank you, you are kind. well the pics are okay, taken with a very old digital camera, i got a new one this christmas and it's fantastic i havent just had the time to learn it yet.

Got zinc and vitamin C, it's always good to get sensible advice though, thanks.
I think getting out and walking helps too, it gets the blood flowing around the body, hopefuly speeding up recovery.

That link makes me wonder even more about the US armies ulterior motives in the quake zone, there have been problems with muslim extremists there.
Don't get me wrong, what they're doing is really good, it's also a chance for a bit of positive publicity after the last few years, and maybe a few other things too.
Darn, it was supposed to be perspective in a different direction, sorry about that.

I can't get around this gargantuan tragedy that is unfolding. Does anything else matter at this point? I'm finding it difficult to really take anything else seriously in my daily life... I can't escape the feeling that this is in fact so much bigger than anyone is yet willing to admit - beyond even the seemingly immeasurable loss of life so far - big in...

i cant watch or read any of the stuff about all of it.. it makes me too upset. so it results in my seeming entirely insensitive..
some things are jus too much y'know..

it almost doesnt seem real. even lives back home don't seem real right now because of the sudden dramatic effect of this unexpected thing..
ive a friend over there travelling and im not sure whether she's moved onto the next place or what.. even thinking about it gives me goose pimples.. i can't deal with it..

sorry not much help..
there's nothing we can really say. quicker than a war.. killing people... and nothing we can do to prevent the emotions all of us, even if we know no one out there or no one waiting to hear from anyone, or even those who have lost..

one picture which got me was that of a decrased hut, left standing and a hand laying palm up with a little wrist showing, hanging out of the hut. im not sure ill ever erase that form my mind.

sorry to go on a little

Now that reporters are getting closer to the epicentre you can see how powerful it really was, devastating.

I wish I could help you find a better perspective, but we're just going to have to give it time.
