In the news

At yesterday's appointment, one news-related question the psychiatrist asked me was what George Dubya Bush is focusing on these days. I'm sure she was looking for an answer about promoting Middle East peace, but I said something instead about justifying the war with Iraq when no weapons of mass destruction have been found yet. I wonder what she thinks my answer says about my psyche?

In other news, Congress has passed the "partial birth" abortion ban. While this is the one form of abortion I'm sure I'm against, the fact that the bill doesn't include any kind of health exemption confirms my belief that the "pro-life" politicians don't give a damn about life.

In other other news, a big yellow spherical object has been seen glowing in the skies above the Washington, DC metropolitan region. Local residents are demanding to be told what this object is, what kind of danger it might pose, and also why the sky has blue patches instead of the usual unbroken grey. Local leaders have thus far been unable or unwilling to provide straight answers.

There's still lots of grey in the sky and the big spherical object keeps hiding behind clouds. I'm not sure if this is going to turn into a mostly sunny day or a mostly cloudy one, but so far it's better for going out in than yesterday (it was raining and in the high 50s when I went to my appointment).

Hee. Those excuses are pretty good.

I wouldn't have minded the trip so much if it had been to DC, actually, if I'd been able to get their entirely by Metrorail. Unfortunately, the appointment was here in the county, which meant in this case that I needed to take a bus. Blech. I'd forgotten how much long bus rides can hurt when I'm already hurting. But at least that appointment's done with and hopefully somebody will decide something soon.

It was good to see some color in the world today! But it didn't seem quite natural somehow.

That is the Big Fiery Sky Thing. Don't be alarmed. It's a natural phenomenon. I have seen it in Leeds on occasion.

Ah, I have indeed heard of the Big Fiery Sky Thing, but I had not expected to see it in my lifetime. It is very strange.
