Owen graduates from 4K today. Ceremony's this afternoon. Olivia woke me up crying about ladybugs at 5 a.m. and then, after I got her a drink of water, promptly went back to sleep in my spot. I'm working on a second cup of coffee.
The two American journalists (Laura Ling and Euna Lee) have been sentenced to 12 years hard labor.
Fuck. How much political pressure can the US exert in this situation?
Most of what I know about Next to Normal is that, based on the number they performed tonight, it is way too intense for me to ever see.
Ditto. It looks great, but I don't know if I could take it.
Also, I hear good things about Rock of Ages.
I certainly hope the answer is "some" at least. NK are the people setting off IC(almost)BMs and whatnot, letting their own people starve and so on.

On North Korea? How are those nuclear talks going?
North Korea isn't going to respond to political pressure. They've done this so they can pressure the US.
WHAT. Please, please tell me you are joking, and that such a show doesn't really exist. Please.
Hee! My sister produced the workshop version waaaaaaaaay back when - she said it's the sort of thing which by all rights ought to be terrible, but actually turns out to be pretty awesome.

Saw that in the paper this morning. I feel like I should know better than I do what the options are for international diplomacy in this case.
Like Billytea says, this is North Korea we're talking about. Normal rules don't really apply. China is potentially the best able to exert some sort of pressure, assuming they were of a mind to. But even then, a lot depends on what NK's endgame is here.
Fingers crossed for it's nothing, Austin
Happy Queen's Birthday, Australia (except WA)!

Funnily enough, WA is about the only part of Australia that hasn't reached Tuesday yet. You'll be sending the Queen a belated birthday card again this year, Mr Rot.
