Damn

It's another Monday. I spent the weekend recovering from some virus. It's a boring but seemingly unavoidable consequence to being alive. Oh well, it's not like the weather we've been having is anything worth venturing out into.

Been listening to some new music of late. The Silversun Pickups new album is growing on me. Panic Switch is the only real grabber, but some other ones are starting to grow on me. Blind Pilot has also found its way into heavy rotation. There a some new tracks from The National floating around. If they are any indication, then the next album should be really good.

While waiting for my Chicken-Cheese Steak today, I was watching what passes for TV news. As expected, I was horrified; the story about the SF Journalists sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea had finished and the Bimbette was reading reviews. Apparently, this bastion of Journalistic Standards allows viewers to txt/email/Voice Msg their feedback about the story... hilarity ensues- not.

First person claims that the risk is part of the job, "Cause they can win, like, awards 'n stuff."

Second person says it really awful, but that's what they get for sneaking around.

Third person says that if you're going to leave the US, then you're taking your life into your own hands.

Fourth person says military action is the only option.

Thankfully that's when my sandwich got messed up so my attention got diverted.

Seriously, that's what you should expect if you leave the US? Ten bucks says this person can't name the Capital of Nebraska (they may actually have been from Nebraska, but the bet still stands).

So two women, US Citizens, who were working on a project to attract attention to the horrible plight suffered by some women and children in North Korea, stuff like this.

For this they "deserve what they get."

And the "News Person", who must've started with the doorman and blown every dude in her path to even be allowed to step into the studio, says nothing.

Humanity, I weep for thee.

If you want a good read, go here. It's a little long, and there are a lot of stats that could use a source, but's it's a good read still.

So, to make up for messing up my sandwich, they gave me free fries, and the messed up sandwich to bring make to the shop.

IB's is awesome, just don't be in a hurry, or come in with an attitude.
