Kaulapi World

V-day and I’m a so-so unhappy camper. not necessarily because of the day in itself, but more for the busy-ness that this week has been, is, and will be at least until I go on spring break. Then of course when one engine decides to take a rest, the other will take off. I have a bunch of big deadlines coming up that week at work on my new job that can’t be moved.

Gotten so used to the grind from the new year that I hadn’t realized how much leave I’ve been accumulating that I probably should use up. Wondering if I’ll be able to pull a trip out of towne for a weekend, it would be nice to get away for a bit. Been meaning to either go up the coast to the other illustrous east coast cities, or maybe venture into VA to visit some historical sites.

Lots in the news about the VP’s shooting accident. I got a big kick out of the Daily Show coverage about “shooting a man in the face” it didn’t seem to get old at all no matter how many times they played off on it. I’m a little suprised at how the press for on is actually responding to this with some level of outrage. It almost seems like the press is still more interested in our politician’s personal mistakes as opposed to their policy decisions.

The shooting accident just about almost replaced the other big news story regarding the offensive cartoons sparking riots and violence around the world. I am puzzled at the surprise expressed by people who don’t understand why people are so pissed off, especially when most of these people are the same ones who are so insecure about how their own gods and prophets are depicted in popular culture and newsmedia.

Got caught up in the snowstorm that hit the coast this past weekend, spent a good hour shoveling out the following morning. It was fun at first, but got old pretty quick. Lucky me I don’t have a car to de-ice and scrape when the weather turns all white. Too bad it didn’t happen during the week, might’ve been able to get a snow day from work.

I could make a metaphor for the snow like you know what, but I think I’ll save the font-space.
