The week (an informative title)
17 years ago
wow I made a journal
This week has me ever so pissed, which is incredibly hard to do, I guess its a combination of many factors but two are very poignant in my mind
1) the LHC - It's been hard to avoid the massive media storm surrounding one of the biggest machines mankind has ever made, masses of stories on the 'end of the world machine' that apparently should have killed us all off on Wednesday.
I find it infuriating when people slur everything, it shows the importance of properly educatedly science reporters. Throw a phase like miniature black holes at anyone who has little to no idea of what their talking about and they blow it out of proportion, when infact they are more miniature gravitational anomalies that will decay in less that a billionth of a billionth of a second.
And all these harbingers of misfortune couldn't even get their facts strait, the real collisions occurring on a scale that we haven't already achieved won't happen for months, powering up a giant underground electromagnet and then testing it to make sure all the right wires are connected isn't what they are even worried about.
2) John McCain - Ok so I live in the UK and have little/no understanding of US political process, but a man who's main strategy seems to be slurring his opponent is not one I could respect, it makes you wonder how much he can inspire confidence in himself, if all he does is go to disproportional and frankly disturbing lengths to make the opposition look bad compared to him.
And of course Sarah Palin the 'pitbull with lipstick' she is not that, she's a pair of tits with bad glasses and a worse attitude. I mean she is offering a BOUNTY for wolf legs, isn't that illegal? and of course her daughter is pregnant, if she can't even run her OWN FAMILY to her standards isn't she a bad choice to even stand by a seat of power? If anything she will cause World War 3 in a fight over the Arctic resources.
I must say while are politicians are hardly the cream of the crop (why else would they be in politics? *sarcastic laugh*) at least they're just shit, not bat-shit-bonkers (sorry to all the bats out there).
But hell what do I know? I fantasise about being a bipedal talking lion in between being asleep, hungry, eating, reading, working and learning (in no particular order, and no I will not tell you what I'm learning, I'm overly paranoid)

but on the bright side my mum got a sweet pair of grey kittens today :3
