random thoughts from today. ~.m.

can i PLEASE, PLEASE not see any more pictures of birds covered in oil sludge? those pictures make an already horrifying event even sadder. i can’t look at another one. that would be great.

it’s National Doughnut Day, and the closest Krispy Kreme to me right now is 74.48 miles away (nor is there a Dunkin’ Donuts nearby, but i’m less disappointed about that. although i admit i’m not familiar with them.) luckily, there is an awesome local place about a mile from me. and while i may not be able to get a free doughnut, i’m more than happy to pay 75 cents for some of that goodness.

my sister is in Japan right now. this is, as she calls it, her “Japanese jam.” it’s soooo Japanese, it would be a cliche if it wasn’t actually Japanese pop. (my favorite song by a Japanese artist is still “Automatic” by Utada Hikaru.)

if one of these is so great on its own, how could all three together not be amazing? ~.m.

i love france so much. ~.m.

this is the Champs Elysees. the story is that French farmers turned part of it into a “field” to promote the French farming industry, which is apparently going through some tough times. (this picture is a little old.) i wanted to put it here because i love Paris and i wish i would have been there.

outdated political cartoon, but still unfortunately relevant. ~.m.

maria b. — Sun, 30 May 2010 00:55:28 +0000

i’m too lazy to find any statistics or articles about the dramatically shrinking middle-class in the US. this cartoon does a good enough job for a saturday, though. i saw it a couple days ago and, although it’s from a past administration, nothing much has changed. in addition, the Senate walked out for Memorial Day recess yesterday without telling the Congress. Democrats arguing for another extension of unemployment benefits found out during the discussion that the Senate had already bailed. yet another Senate Democrat fail. fucking assholes.

this oil spill is really bumming me out. ~.m.

maria b. — Sun, 30 May 2010 00:44:10 +0000

i don’t really want to get into it too much because it’s really depressing to talk about, but the oil spill in the gulf is really, really horrible. with the effects on the wildlife and on the ecosystems, the oceans, the gulfstream running along florida and up the east coast, not to mention the 11 guys that died in the initial explosion and the many, many people whose livelihoods depend on shrimping and fishing in the gulf, i honestly can’t even read another article, watch another news story or look at another picture of the effects there. it’s just really a bummer. our clusterfuck of a government had better damn well make sure BP pays for ever red cent of cleanup of this shit, for the next fucking century.
