Huge Tracts of Land

[ciroccoj]

Not a great day so far. It's my one day to sleep in - didn't get any last weekend, since Chris was on call, and won't get any next weekend, as he's on call again. So imagine my delight at being woken up early by Daniel asking me what I wanted for breakfast.

What did I want for breakfast? More sleep, damnit.

Awful night last night. Went to bed nice and late, after one of the worst fights we've had in a long time.

And today I'm plunging into Property study. Woo-hoo. If I was much more excited about it, I'd be in a coma.

And then I saw this, which would normally just make me roll my eyes, but... what the hell is wrong with people?

BTW, am I the only one who thinks that if the kid had called another kid a faggot derisively, nobody would have much cared?

Anyway. Time to plunge back into drudgery.

Sending good thoughts your way. I hope things get better as the day progresses.

::hugs::

Thanks. The day has been improving, actually. That's the nice thing about starting off that crummy - there's almost nowhere to go but up ;)

[snarkhunter.livejournal.com]

I second the good thoughts. ::hugs::

Re: that article. Oh, for the love of...

I wish I could stop caring *quite* so much about things like that, because I often get a bit too upset. That just makes me want to scream.

[ciroccoj.livejournal.com]

That just makes me want to scream.

Yeah, me too.

Actually, it makes me want to slap several people.

Not that this will help tons and tons with the whole fighting and stress thing, but it might make you smile for a moment or two ...

Dude, I was drinking milk when I saw this. I've made a bit of a mess on my desk, but at least I didn't snort the milk :D :D :D :D

Thanks!

of course this incident would happen in louisianna! thank god it's in southeren louisianna, not northern--where i live. there is a cultural difference. not that we're making progress by leaps and bounds--but we *are* making progress--glacially.

There was some southern state around 1996-7 where some genius set off a firecracker inside a fireworks shop, and blew everything sky-high. One of my students at the time was from that state, and I remember he wanted everyone to know that he was from the northern part of the state, not the southern, where this had happened. He kept us in stitches for about a week with little observations about the people of the southern part of his state, and how different they were from people in his region. I don't think it was Louisiana, but does the firecracker story sound at all familiar to you?
