Far Away So Close

I'm currently listening to a CD of people meowing. What are you doing with *your* Saturday evening?

Several days into the new year, and our garbage disposal has called it quits. The political situation still sucks, and there is a very real possibility of war heating up again in the middle east, and Australia is on fire. Not that I'm equating the first item with the other ones, but it does illustrate how close-by minor inconveniences often share equal headspace with distant disasters. I'm also not going to complain about the year being off to a shitty start. We live on a continuum, not the discrete chunks of time brutally imposed upon us by calendars and clocks.
