Well, that’s the particularly awful week done and dusted. Sort of. I still have more Shit to Do next week, but hopefully things should calm down a bit from here. We’ll see. I am looking forward to a bit of time off at Christmas to just relax and, you know, chill out.
I’ve been somewhat out of the loop today due to the things I’ve been doing, but I did managed to catch the awful news out of the States today — for those who missed it, there’s been a mass shooting at a school in Connecticut. I don’t know all the details so I don’t want to comment on it, but it’s massively sucktastic. I feel somewhat distanced from it being over here in the UK as I am, but I know enough people in the US for it to carry some degree of resonance for me. Facebook and Twitter are full of messages of support and debates about gun control at the moment. The inevitable arguments are ensuing from the usual suspects. I don’t really want to get involved, but it’s pretty clear that something needs to be done.
Anyway, that sounds an awful lot like commenting on it, and many people have doubtless done so far more eloquently than I today, and will doubtless continue to do so over the next few days. (Fox News, of course, have been quick to blame video games, but fuck Fox News). So I will leave that there.
I am still ill. I drove for two hours after a full day of “civic duty” today and am now exhausted, battered and feeling like utter shite. Andie seems to think I’m a day “behind” her in this plague, however, so hopefully I should improve a bit from here. I hope so. Obviously I’m not comparing my own pitiful physical state to a tragedy which has unfolded in the US, but, well, this week has just been one of those ones that you get the impression the entire world would like to erase from existence.
I’d be fine with that. Also with a fast-forward button. The end of next week would be nice. KTHX.
