Teddy bears are the best bedfellows, because they don't steal the blankets. Or if they do, you can chuck them across the room and there's no blood to clean up in the morning.

And now, a Blog:

I'd like to write professional style, themed columns. Pick one topic, describe it in detail, make a few humorous statements, and slap it up here for the world to read. After all, I'm my own editor, publisher, and critic. I might as well be my own starving artist too.
Having come to this conclusion on my way to class, I proceeded then to pass the time through British Politics listing possible topic ideas, some of which make sense, and some of which mystify even me.

Needless to say, I've scrapped the idea for now. I don't have the patience to sit in a lab, staring down a fuzzy computer screen, and formulate good editorial essays. Maybe if I were cool like Chris, but I'm not and he's gone and thus I'm left to wander amid my own disorganized thoughts.
The wind is blowing fiercly, howling and screaming as if walls and doors were built specifically to insult its power. (That's not so far from the truth, now is it?) The rain comes and goes, and really its a miserable night. The others want to go pubbing, but I think its a good night to curl up in my bed and read a new book. Oh, yes, I've discovered a fantastic new book, courtesy of Flora- a columnist from New York with a sense of humor to rival my own. Jonathen Ames, if you're interested, which you're not, but I thought I'd try.

I suppose I should be used to reading bad news from Iraq at this point- used to the crashes and the death and general tones of dispair which seep from that country but I never seem to adjust to it. I suppose thats good in its own way- no one ever should be so adjusted to violence it just seems natural. But people are. The perspectives here are decidedly different from the U.S.- most notably in that, its nowhere to be found. Sure, people discuss it, if pressured, but it doesnt appear in the news radio programs or the newspapers, or even on the UK edition of Yahoo! News, except as a footnote. I wonder if its apathy from the world, or obsessiveness from the States? Anyway, I guess I better let that alone before I digress too far and never return.

That being said....Holy Snow Plow Batman! To the Batcave!!!!
