Monday - Ick

On an earlier shift at work the next four weeks, have to get up and out and to work an hour earlier (start time of 8 ayem) than the last month. And it is a Monday, was very tiring and exhausting. But it was nice to get out an hour earlier - will get used to it in a couple of days I'm sure. Hardly talked to any workmates though, 99% of my words were to customers today.



Hmmph, I know Sudan is a major catastrophe, and money to Darfur is always going to be good, but is anyone else slightly nauseated by this remake of 'Do They Know It's Christmas'? Sorry people, but I don't want to hear Robbie Williams and the Darkness among others ruining the song - it's not a classic, I'll grant you that, but it should be left as an 80s icon instead of trying to update it. Note to Sir Bob (Geldof) - you might sell more if you wrote some new lyrics LOL.



'Blur singer Damon Albarn served tea for the artists and crew - who have donated their time - but did not sing.' - that's the idea Damon LOL LOL.



Oh, and talking entertainment, did anyone else notice that ODB died over the weekend? ODB he of Wu Tang Clan and duetting with Xtina in Dirrrty LOL - you missed those highlights of the last ten years, you red staters you LOL. He was only 35 - today would have been his birthday. RIP dude...



OMG, this is just fucking ridiculous - the US military stopped a Red Crescent aid convoy going into Fallujah because, as Colonel Mike Shupp says, there are no trapped civilians there. Yeah Mike, they are ALL insurgents, even the dead girl in a pink dress GRR. And the whole thing of saying that men between 15 and 55 cannot leave the city - it makes sense in a Doctor Strangelove kind of way, but common sense says that if they weren't radicalised before, they will be after such rules - if indeed they manage to survive the siege.



And the Baghdad government is going to sue reporters for telling bad news - 'Baghdad warned journalists last week to endorse the position that the operation has been an overwhelming success or face legal action. Reporters were "not to promote unrealistic positions or project nationalist tags on terrorist gangs of criminals and killers", it said.'



Sometimes I wish I could just find some more good news. Might have to surf a few blogs rather than news to get it as well - and I don't mean just THOSE sorts of blogs :)
