its 1pm and the sum total of the work i've done today was based on my boss saying "did i ask you to send a copy of that letter you sent to the arbitrator yesterday to the union. if not send one". i sent one. i spent much of the morning looking up recipes for my next culinary disaster and then reading about the IRA (my interest having been piqued by last nights documentary on the history channel about 'the age of terrorism'). now i'm sipping hot chocolate and preparing to read the book i've just bought which people keep insisting is an amazing novel (fugitive pieces - anne michaels). i had decided that given the limited amount of time i have left in my life and the humungous number of books i have not yet read i should only read non-fiction but i do not feel bad about taking a detour from this rule. the idea behind the book buying was to distract myself from terrorism and destruction but considering what the story is about i doubt i'm going to be putting thoughts of war out of mind.
last night the coolest guy said, "everyone has blood on their hands".

"Tony Blair will today reaffirm Britain's strong backing of US president George Bush's stand-off with Iraq. The prime minister is expected to claim that "it is massively in our national interest to remain the closest ally of the US"." He's probably scared shitless that bush is going to turn on the UK next.
i made carrot and corriander soup last night (with only an atom of help from june) and, despite earlier jibes from hangover re the fact that the english can't cook for toffee (my words not his) the coolest guy declared that it was the best thing i've ever made. in retrospect, i'm not sure that's much of a compliment, since it kind of suggests that the last 12 years of food i've produced was the equivalent of pig slop, but what the heck i made good soup.
