Every Planet We Reach Is Dead

In between study and sleep, I've been watching season 5 of The West Wing, a series which adds fuel to the desire to reach the US, as well as entertains on several levels. love of politics not least among them. Only today, after finishing the series, I've hit the 'net to find Nawlins has been subject to an event worthy of a Bruckheimer movie. breakdown of civilization as desparate citizens loot and pillage, fire weapons at helicopters that drop supplies from a height of three meters, so as not to be flooded by refugees.

Kinda makes me feel guilty about wishing I had enough money to go out somewhere on saturday (my first shift at the call center was cancelled, but I did get paid for the Druitt gig), and worring about silly things like wether this girl likes me or not (so high school, I know, but it's a great feeling). our turn'll come though, natural disasters on epic scales that will see a breakdown of society just like in Nawlins. Hope I can loot myself a PSP or that Sony iPod killer I've seen around before they order "shoot to kill", though we'll see how I go. posted by Keegan at 5:51 pm
