Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
So. Huge bomb goes off in the Reuters Hotel in Baghdad...but who is responsible? Who is best served by a compliant media?
Smaller bomb went off two doors down from Sam. He was first on the scene with his camera - looked like it was targetting two US armoured vehicles parked next to it. He said he saw someone with a headwound but that was all. He has learned to say “do not shoot the clown!” in Arabic. This is a start I suppose
So. I’ve managed to escape work at a sensible time for a change. Fingers Xd I’ll be able to get more freakcity done tonight. Am all sorted with regard to the rest of my work, so it’s looking good.
Chatted some with Owen, he thinks he’s falling for Nathan, which is dead sweet
and Raffa apparently moved out yesterday with about 1 day’s notice, so Warren has become Owen’s new flatmate...
Sleepy person. Slow warm tube. Small screaming child. Grr.
I have backache and a bad urge for beer. Woe is me...
Read some interesting stuff about milk being carcinogenic that I’m not sure I agree with. I suspect that milk doesn’t cause cancer at all, but that it acts like “baby bio” for existing cancers. If you think about how babies grow when being fed milk you may see what I mean. Milk I seem to recall, is full of stuff that makes cells grow.
Comedy headline of the day comes courtesy of the Metro’s “Coffee ’may help children avoid drugs’”. Yeah, coffee will certainly take away the thrill of rebellion and the adrenaline rush of the unknown. Yeah.

Whoops.
I just ordered coffee instead of tea. I may be a little bouncy tonight
Almost finished the search results page. Looking nice. Slow as fuck tho. If we had a decent fast server to work on it’d be so much quicker...each change to the JSP and I have to wait a good 20 seconds to see if it worked...so I’m gonna ramble on here in the gaps as I got bored waiting for email...
Pretty uneventful day. Demo outside the Syrian embassy about the killing of Kurds in Syria on Friday (see link) - bout 200 people, or so winj says...seems to have gone peacefully...still nothing on the news though about it which is pretty shitty really, as the whole point of the demo is that there’s been nothing on the news about the massacre either.
The media in this country sucks, but at least it’s not America. Grr.
"Kurdish demonstrations have swept across Syria, following outcry over the killings of Kurds by Syrian authorities and pro-Saddam supporters at a football stadium in Qamishlo, northeast Syria, on 12 March 2004.
/According to information received by KHRP, almost 2000 supporters of the Fatuwwa team from Dayr al-Sur, a renowned Ba’thist city, entered the football stadium armed with guns and bearing pro-Saddam and anti-Kurdish statements. Fighting broke out between the Arab supporters and the unarmed Kurdish spectators. Reportedly, Syrian security personnel who were present and internal security police, summoned by the Mayor of Qamishlo, joined the Fatuwwa supporters in attacking the Kurds. Approximately twenty Kurds, including three children, were killed in the stadium and more than 150 injured. "/

I am beginning to suspect I may be on time!
Stayed up until $toolate chatting to people, then got woken at 6am by the heater in the bedroom which seems to have a mind of it’s own...it had turned itself on and was trying to cook me...the bastard thing...
Am gonna add bios to profiles I think. Don’t really know any sites that do this. Also going to add Journal previews too.
Gomeche sent me a lovely email, CCd to various nazi and white power groups, which was nice...he’s discovered circus2iraq and assumes that I’m the Scott on the front page...spose he got that one right...Apparently the Circus is all a scam to finance Sam’s heroin addiction...bless...Gomeche has published both Sam and Steve’s home addresses on Redwatch. The police are being less than helpful, for a change...
Don’t think Sam will mind his address being on there too much as he doesn’t live there any more and is currently wandering around Northern Iraq, but I’m not sure Gomeche’s investigative abilities stretch that far. Suspect he doesn’t realise Sam’s been off the skag for years too, but hey.
I will be a little annoyed if I end up listed on nonce/redwatch again however. And I’ll be annoyed if he finds this place too. Grr. Circus2iraq is too important to be interfered with by a mad fool.
They did a fundraiser the other day and raised nearly £2000. Rather cool I feel!
Ah well. Not had any contact with IKG in about 2 years. Spose it was my turn really. Harry’s a bit worried though as his name/address are on the registration for the domain
Just a bit pissed off and fed up about it is all. And to top it all, whilst this is going on I’m being accused of being a nazi on gaydar by some fucknut who can’t tell the difference between right wing zionists and jews in general. Fucktard! And another one who claimed I knew nothing for saying Richard Perle was right-wing as he is a democrat. Which he’s not. *sigh* dunno why I bother...
I must be a nazi who is detested by nazis. Explains why I’m so fucked up
Heh. I’m writing this outside the Hammersmith Palais. Classy!
