Nobel prizes

Come again? While the chances of Bush or Blair winning a Nobel Peace Prize are small, the fact that the committee is entertaining the idea at all says that the Peace Prize ain't what it used to be.

I should be considered for the prize. Let's consider it. Number of people killed by Bush's / Blair's orders: 9,282 (not counting Hussein and his sons). Number of people killed by my orders: 0 (whenever I had a problem with some company, I found a diplomatic solution).

The only question left is, when can I pick it up?

Concern

Had a big Italian dinner with Boon Chung, Robert, and Finiki. They're helping me through the 3-month separation from my girlfriend. We talked about some semi-serious subjects during dinner.

Most important right now, it seems like Captain Trips is making its way around the world. Kind of scary, since Annie has just been through Toronto and Frankfurt. Both airports have seen people with this fun new form of deadly "pnuemonia" in the last 2 weeks.

The paranoid little voice in my head has told me to make my backpack, so I've gotten together a tent, sleeping bag, a bit of food and whatnot, with plans to head for the hills if the shit hits the fan. Fun, huh?

I've also created a new category for this post, called, "The Coming Apocolypse". I suppose I'll provide some category-based linkage soon enough, but I need to go back and categorize all of my old posts correctly.
