i despair

I don't want to live in a country where this can happen.



More later. I'll write about our day and night later. Right now I'm too stunned, upset and depressed to write.

    Please pull it together. We need to unite in our times of grief and get out of here.

    America is a hopeless sinking ship, I'm out of here. There is nothing worth fighting for there. The bigots, homophobes, racists and Christians are so mindless that they cannot be reasoned with.

    Anon #1: Thank you. I'm sure I will pull it together... but for now I need to grieve.

what i'm watching: maybe coffee was coffee

Someone just emailed this to me. +++++++ George: (While preparing bicarb) She invites me up at twelve o clock at night, for coffee. And I don't go up. "No thank you, I don't want coffee, it keeps me up. Too late for me to drink coffee." I said this to her. People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live. I can't imagine what she must think of me. Jerry: She thinks you're a guy that doesn't like coffee. George: She invited me up. Coffee's not coffee, coffee is sex. Elaine: Maybe coffee was coffee. George: Coffee's coffee in the morning, it's not coffee at twelve o clock at night. Elaine: Well some people drink coffee that late. George: Yeah, people who work at NORAD, who're on twenty-four hour missile watch. Everything was going along so great: she was laughing, I was funny. I kept saying to myself "Keep it up, don't blow it, you're doing great." Elaine: It's all in your head. All she knows is she had a good time. ...
