I’m in the middle of an all-nighter. I want to finish a major document that’s a milestone in my thesis’ process. I hopped on news.google.com for a quick news update… ok, I wanted to check the latest on MJ… and noticed that the World category had only news about plane crashes.

It’s so strange that in the past couple of weeks, no less than 6 crashes were on the news. 5 of these fatal, and 2 with upwards of 100 victims. It’s just strange.

Also strange, and Israeli settler, a secular one, for that matter, was commenting on the then-upcoming withdrawal from the Gaza strip. She said that she didn’t want to leave because this was her land, the land of her ancestors, the land given to her people. Now, I couldn’t really give a rat’s ass about that whole conflict at the moment… but if you’re secular, you’re not supposed to use that argument. Your people? Given? By Whom? Your ancestors? Huh?

Another one, girls claim they want straight-shooting guys. No messing with them, and playing on their emotions. When push comes to shove, however, they revel in the games, they enjoy the torture, and they play like the players they pretend not to be. What the fuck is that all about?

Bah, humbug. Back to the Software Requirements Specification.
