(no subject)
*working on the bloody dissertation*
I wanted to link to ICMSA (Association of International Bond Dealers) but instead I've almost linked to www.icmsa.ie, which is Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association. har har. Now I wish I were writing about Irish milk, mmm lactose.
In the other news, I hate this country. Elton John is playing a free concert in Kiev today and most of what I've heard or read about it is negative. For fuck's sake, the man is a legend even if you don't like his music. And he'll receive $1 for the concert which is, I repeat, free for anyone to attend. So why do you care who he sleeps with?! I'm sure he'd never even want to touch most of those bigoted homophobic people who say that. Oh they say it's not 'moral' for him to fight against AIDS! People in this country are not right in the head. I'm going to the concert just to support the campaign even though I don't have time (and I'm not a fan). Hopefully nothing ugly will happen, and all the haters will stay at home because it's beneath them to attend a gay concert (that was a quote). I'm not gay and I don't even know any gay people in this country, but all this is pissing me off to no end.
This is a very nice and accurate article about the event. BBC news wins once again
eta much later: the concert was much better than I expected. I have to admire Elton John, it was more than 30 degrees but he played for 2.5 hours. And the people were really nice as well, so I suppose I stay corrected. This country is not a lost cause :)
