I've been lax in terms of posting any bullshit on here in a while. I must say that I will remain lax until the duration of my imprisonment in sacto is up.

I watched cnn today in the motel room this morning. The news consisted of reports about armed robberies for playstation 3's, o.j. simpson's new book, and the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, with a separate report expounding on the workings of scientologist wedding ceremonies (just in case we were curious).

Rememer when, five years ago, in the weeks before 9-11, all sorts of inane, completely irrelevant garbage-reports dominated the news and served as fluff headlines, and the stories played on repeat...that is, until 19 religious maniacs piloted airplanes loaded with passengers into large buildings on the east coast?

Suddenly, reports about britney spear's risque outfits, missing washington  floozies, and shark attacks dropped out of the news faster than a turd drops out of a dog's ass.

Of course, the coverage of inane, irrelevant bullshit is to be expected of the major networks and local newspapers. It's easy to remember the reason why it's better to, whenever possible, stick with BBC (available on PBS) or the New York Times.

But while we're on the subject of inane news coverage, I'd like to report that I heard on the radio today that a sea lion attacked and bit fourteen civilians at aquatic park back in SF. While irrelevant, it was definitely a pleasant thing to wake up to.
