Iron Fist

free burma

IMG_0597

I always feel like a bit of an ignoramus when people hold a demonstration in my city, and I find that I actually have no idea what is going on in Burma to warrant this.  Fortunately for me, I work a desk job these days, which means that if nothing too pressing has come up I can spend the first hour of my day reading the news on the BBC.

I know that today was Blog Action Day, and I was supposed to write about the environment, but I didn’t have much to say about it except to note that I burned very few hydrocarbons today, which is good because I am told we are running out and now have to steam them out of big piles of Canadian sand, which is only slightly less ludicrous an idea than turning our topsoil into car fuel by way of making into corn first (apparently no one remembers the Dust Bowl these days).

I am short on sleep and long on thinking today.

    Hey, I’ll trade you a beer for some of your unused hydrocarbons…

    I find that thinking is difficult on the best days, but nigh unto impossible when I’m short on sleep. So now you’re my hero… hope you can handle the responsibility. :)

    I must be shorter on sleep than you are because when I scrolled down and saw the headline “free burma”, I thought you meant that something called burma was being given away. Yeah. Way too much partying in NYC this weekend…
