Meteoric depression
Still down in the dumps, maybe farther than yesterday. This is so unlike me I don't know what to make of it. Read Kyell Gold's latest story posted on FA, which didn't help. It's not porn, which pleased me as I think he's a really fine writer when he talks about feelings, hopes and fears of his characters rather than describing every "unf" in graphic detail. But it ties into the stuff I'm already feeling down about, so it doesn't help with that.
The screeching, irrational fights over health care reform are no help either. I am absolutely appalled that so many Americans, who ought to be educated and rational, are willing to believe the total made up fictions being circulated about the bills in Congress.
Frankly, I think those bills are a disaster because they don't do nearly enough. They will fail to help even if they pass, which now seems unlikely since the profit sector has started breeding mass hysteria with lies and distortions.
Oh, and last night's "peak" in the meteor shower was a dud, at least here. Apparently counts have been rising across Asia today, and there should still be plenty to see tonight if you have a clear dark sky. I'll go look again in a few minutes.
