41 days to go

Well she survived .. and she survived well at that! After Monday morning (being up from 2am) she then coped with Monday (still pre full moon) .... slept right through Monday night and then during Tuesday, she slept for 3 hours during the day. So last night, she was not wanting to sleep! She was still awake at 10pm but once she finally nodded off, she was out till 7am.

I've been discussing "blogging" with a couple of people .... talking about the purpose of the blog .... or the purpose of any blog ..... it's an interesting phenomenon ... at what other point in history has there existed a 'public diary' such as a blog? In past times, when someone published their diary, it was usually years after the fact ..... but now it can be a daily story! "..... Today I did XX" It's a new form of writing ... events can be described and published moments after they happen! Amazing!

The power of the internet ..... for instance, the Wikileaks saga .... I suggest that never before has there been such a public abuse / misuse of the justice system by those in power. Sure, there probably have been worse examples behind closed doors ... but the current public actions by US, Australian, and Swedish authorities are such a blatant and public abuse of process that it leaves me deeply disturbed ..... no - not that .... deeply disappointed that the corruption in powerful places seems to really be as bad as I feared.

Excuse this diversion away from Kaylia ...

  1. Yay! We speaka da same language.

    Samuel Pepys was, of course, the consummate diarist, and I suspect he may not have minded if his comments had a wider readership at the time because he was a saucy bugger. But he could not have dreamed of what we're doing.

    Re WikiLeaks: VP Biden calls JA a terrorist. A terrorist is defined as someone who uses violence to achieve political ends. What else is capital punishment or assassination but violence? Ipso facto, Biden is himself a terrorist. The damned hypocrisy! From the Presidential office??!! The USA has gone insane.
