Don't know exactly how I feel right now. Last time I saw him was when my dad died and he was getting pretty up there.

He's in a hospice right now (that carries his name, BTW), withering away from mouth cancer and probably won't last the week. He's barely coherent and, if he is conscious, probably won't recognize me. I'm debating going up there: I'd rather not remember the last image of him as a flesh-clothed skeleton with a rotting mouth and there's likely nothing I could do that would make him feel better. I don't even think I'll be able to see in time if I could.

Current Mood: morose

So, I put in the End of Evangelion soundtrack for the first time in probably ten years or so and I'm still blown away by it.

Cruster - a privileged rich kid who, through some inspiration the beat poets, adopts the hobo lifestyle. Crusters wear clothing what a homeless person may wear: untucked ratty shirts, unwashed jean shorts, and dirty gimmie hats. They may also jump trains, dumpster dive, drink liquor out of a paper bag and keep malnourished dogs to complete the look.

Two days into the summer break and I'm already bored.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, a nuclear incident, now the volcano in Kagoshima erupts?!

What's next, Godzilla? Zombie outbreak? Alien attack?

Fukushima number 1 just exploded. NHK is telling everyone to stay indoors now. Radiation levels outside the now-skeletonized containment building jump 20 fold.

(obiviously, this is not the worse of it)

(shit ain't even real, but it's nice to laugh at something in all this horror)

TokyoJapan hit with 8.8 Richter scale earthquake 150km off the coast, at depth of 24 km. Initial tsunami has inundated Tokyo, but the worst damage is farther north at Sendai in Miyagi prefecture. Reports are saying that most of the city was swept away.

Thousands feared dead.

NHK said: Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant is in trouble now. The emerging diesel plants to cool Nuclear Reactor stopped.

Also, the turbine room at the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi is on fire.

Tsunami warning for Hawaii and West Coast.

Current Mood: depressed

They dropped all budgetary matters and went forward with it.

Fuck Walker, the Kochs, the Fitzgeralds, fuck every one of them.

I suddenly have a need for this.

I know what this is, what the context is, and realize it's worth far more than it's being listed for. I have no legitimate use for it and, even how cheap it's listed at, I don't have the money to be throwing up for something like this.

But, goddamn, Quadguard Class IIIA extremity armor for under fifty bucks! (currently)

Holy shit!
