Oh, and (unless the liveblogging missed it) I like how none of the reporters asked him about Afghan civilian deaths, or the recent drone attacks on Pakistan, or about the floods.

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 17:02:22 UTC

or about the floods

I'm clearly a one trick pony today, as the other two things are just as important, but what? =/

haruhiko September 10 2010, 17:11:26 UTC

Oh I'm just kvetching that none of the MSM reporters apparently bothered to ask him about the floods in Pakistan.

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 17:14:30 UTC

Lawl, I figured. I was kvetching with you. Ignoring all three issues is ridiculous. Brown peoples lives don't matter that much I guess. =/

haruhiko September 10 2010, 17:22:31 UTC

There's something just really gross to me that we can't even have a hiatus on the drone attacks for at least in the immediate short term while people try to pick themselves up from the flooding.

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 17:26:22 UTC

WAT? I haven't been keeping up with the drone story like I should. Just, argh, god-fucking-dammit.

Sorry bb, I didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news. D:

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 17:34:57 UTC

... I need a fucking drink.

haruhiko September 10 2010, 17:35:48 UTC

Sounds good right about now.

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 17:40:03 UTC

Tequila, Jack Daniel's or arrack (Sri Lankan coconut rum)?

haruhiko September 10 2010, 17:43:35 UTC

Omfg coconut rum sounds so good right now. :9~ I'd use it in a mojito tho'.

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 17:50:31 UTC

I'd mix you a mojito and pour Mal and myself some straight arrack with a bit of ice, the way it's meant to be drunk. ;D

haruhiko September 10 2010, 18:07:23 UTC

Lol I can't handle alcohol at all, you guys drink it on the rocks and I'll watch.

I'll just sip my mojito slooooooowly and when you're snoozing in a corner I'll be in Mal's bunk. >_> XD

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 18:24:57 UTC

You do that and I'll see if Kaylee and Simon want some company.

haruhiko September 10 2010, 18:30:21 UTC

Simon will need some company 'cause he'll be fuming with jealousy that someone else is in Mal's bunk. 8D You can calm him down~

poetic_pixie_13 September 10 2010, 18:35:25 UTC

LOL. You could always let him join in. I'll take care of Kaylee (and ask Inara to help if needed). ;D
