LOL it gets better it seems

STATE OF THE EMERGENCY!!1 (CNN), SRSLY, PEOPLE (BBC). What can one say but uhhhhh :| wow. To paraphrase a CNN headline from a few days ago, BEFORE any violent clashes or whatever occured, Bangkok was apparently already 'crippled' by the protesters and um, that was just a lie. I mean, the PAD did pull some pretty risky and high level shit, notably the storming of the NBT (waaay to turn yourselves into a violent mob in the eyes of the public!), but their most effective and yes, 'crippling' shit was actually pulled outside Bangkok, what with the having managed to shortly shut down/block the Phuket/Krabi/Hat Yai airports and setting up those roadblocks to certain key highway points from BKK to some upcountry routes. Even if you just consider the math, there is not really a chance of 10,000 or even 35,000 or how many ever PAD protesters are camped out really making a bustling metropolis of 11 fucking million ground to a stop. Most of what's happening is focussed on the government house areas, places that IF you don't work or live there are easy enough or at least possible to avoid and gah. The economy is shit enough as it is without the added fallout from this, now with MOAR cancellations from tourists and etc.

I actually got an email from Tutor Georg, who was worried about my uh 'safety', which was totally sweet though ♥

Here's hoping for some kind of resolution to this shitstorm, though I really can't see something good coming out of it, as Samak is equally as much of an ass who cannot communicate as it seems that the PAD has now turned radical?? 's not like we have any new and awesome politicians lying it wait to takeover the power vacuum either, just the same old crowd over and over again. THAI POLITICS IN A NUTSHELL: THEY ALL SUCK (it just depends on the degree!).

I BET BATMAN WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO.
