Rest well, Kristin.

ImycorneroftheworldNews (me? trying to avoid writing papers? well, maybe): Seems like there might be, and I'm trying my best not to laugh while typing it, one sided truce.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. After too many days of fighting, unnecessary deaths, fear and destruction, the best that the world can come up with, a second before Israel gets bitch!slapped by every almost every other country of the world, is to have one sided truce. As in, Israel will stop the fighting and retreated Gaza. Hamas? Oh, funny you ask. Hamas, signing nothing, can continue as usual, terrorizing its people's lives and Israeli people lives. From my corner of the world, it pretty much seems like the world want more Israeli casualties before Israel would be allowed to kill more Gazans. What. The. Fuck.

Which may bring a whole new realistic meaning to "excuse me while I die laughing", but seriously? That's the best you can come up with? A cease fire that's trying to bypass the real problem? Why do I have the strong feeling that my country is being led by a bunch of incompetent monkeys?

Then again, why so I get excited for. It's just one more bloody round. It's not like the first time the leaders of this country are lying, or not getting anything more than just more killing.

Oh, Kristin and all, I am so very sorry for your loss. What a tough way to start the year.

Ms Bug, I am bursting with joy after reading your blog post. You are truly an inspiration. You should be so proud of yourself.

What Laura said, vw. That was a really wonderful blog post to read.

That really is awesome, bug.

Owen has seen bits and pieces of Raiders of the Lost Ark--none of the scary parts but he's familiar with the big rock rolling down towards Indy. Well, O got a slouchy cowboy hat in a dress up kit for Christmas and put the hat on this morning and announced that he was Indiana Jones. Then he proceeds to run around the house and tell me that he's running from the "giant ball."

Then he proceeds to run around the house and tell me that he's running from the "giant ball."

He could also be playing "Alias".

Or The Prisoner.

Pretty sure he's not seen Alias or The Prisoner.

Next up: Star Wars.

It's a good thing kids are so entertaining.
