I've been to the Bitter End. Pomegranate italian sodas are yummy.

If you don't get it, it's ok. I am a total nerd and I'm not going to explain it.

And then there was stuff...

I don't use this blog anymore, if anybody was wondering. That should be rather apparent. I 'blog over at a site with no ads now that's run by a friend of mine.

So, if you would like a holiday card from us, you need to email me your address. That's at voxangelus at gmail dot com.

That is all.

But not yet.

I know it probably seems like I don't care that New Orleans, the most beautiful city I've ever visited, is under water and there are people starving and dying there. After all, I haven't blogged about it (until now), written about it, or participated in any threads on any message boards I frequent about it.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I am pissed off, I am angry. I am sad, too. However, I don't trust the media, I don't trust their spin, I don't trust the President and I sure as hell don't trust what most people say about most things.

I'm really reluctant to even get involved in actively caring now that Michael Moore has stuck his fat ass into the proceedings. If anybody's a master of spin, it's him. I don't like him, I don't like his bleeding heart, and the only movie of his I like is 'Canadian Bacon'. I will probably never see the hard facts on this - they'll be distorted and masked to suit Dubya and his precious photo-ops and I'll never see the truth.

The conservatives and the liberals have their view, and it seems like my middle of the road, this sucks, things need to be done, get the damn water and MRE's and antibiotics in there view has no place in this kind of a tragedy because it isn't nearly dramatic enough.

There are so many things I could say and want to say.

I want to know why the city leaders of New Orleans didn't have a better evacuation plan in mind, planned out, and distributed and aired on TV and radio at least weekly during hurricane season.

I want to know why Dubya thought it was OK to divert funds from the budget for levee repair/Army Corps of Engineers for his little war in the big sandbox, and why Baghdad's infrastructure is so much more important than New Orleans'.

I want to know why in fuck our national guard troops are over in Iraq (on 15 month tours of duty while enslisted army is only there for 4 mo at a time) instead of here in the the U.S. doing what they were trained and signed up to do.

I also know that if I begin to loosen the chink in the armor and think about it, I will be such an emotional mess I will be worthless for anything else. My baby is sick and I have to keep my focus here.

And I know I'll be called selfish for that, for worrying about my own one child who at least has AC, food, water, access to diapers and medical care instead of worrying about all the sick babies in New Orleans and other hurricane zones who don't have those things right now, but too bad. My own child comes first.

I'm probably not going to be using Xanga much anymore - I've been using MySpace for a while and I like it better.

If anyone wants to see updates of pictures of Freyja, please email me at voxangelus at gmail dot com and I will put you on the list I use when I update her albums. I will no longer display them here.

Ok, you totally have to imagine a rubber ducky on top of it...it's supposed to look like a bubble bath. Today was way hot for frosting so it's kind of droopy.

I turned on the TV this morning and was flipping through the mediocre channel selection I have when I caught, live on CSpan2, the spacewalk to repair the tile spacers on Discovery's underbelly! Way cool! They kept panning the camera around, you could see the Earth and clouds and ocean. I watched the 15 min that were left and Freyja watched a little too.
