Anniversary post? bleah.
Sep. 11th, 2006 01:41 pmI was there. I'm on the health registry. I should probably call them and update my status.
Don't much want to hear about it today. In fact, today the only political news I want to hear is "OH GOD MONGOL HORDES HAVE INVADED CHICAGO. NO, ACTUAL OLD SCHOOL PRE-MODERN ERA MONGOLS*. LIKE, ON PONIES." That, or "AAAAH THEY REDREW THE CANADIAN BORDER SIX HUNDRED MILES TO THE SOUTH OF WHERE IT WAS YESTERDAY."
Or possibly something about a fistfight in the Taiwanese parliament. Those are always fun.
Or maybe- hey, is Cicciolina still in the Italian parliament? If she is, I could do with hearing about her career. Porno queens in national government. Gotta love it.
Point is: I was there, I did my bit, I'm still pissed at how things worked out, and I don't want to hear about it. I'll talk to y'all later about other things.
Thanks.
*I went to school with a guy from Mongolia my junior and senior year at college. He was a very intelligent man who was studying public health so that he could go back to his country and work for the government to improve health conditions in rural areas. You would never have known his ancestors were conquerors of entire civilizations. I have also read accounts by modern Mongolian competitors in international archery competitions; they seem very polite, very well trained athletes who would love to have visitors to their country.
