Chicken once, chicken twice, eating chicken soup with rice.

I can't eat chicken soup with rice w/o singing that damned song, and I've only seen the show once, years and years ago.

I am the queen of freaking out. I am a news junkie. I actually listened to the entire press conference this morning. One journalist actually asked Rumsfeld if they really expected us to believe that anything could stop this war! Good on her.

Am I freaking? I am not. I'll write the letters and go to the protests but I've somehow gotten this pretty fatalistic thing going on...they're a bunch of big babies with deadly toys, and we can't do dick to stop them. I have a garden to plant, a house to work on, friends and children to love and hang out with, kittens to pet, and my crocuses are blooming, and they don't care. But I refuse to be afraid because they say so. Fuck them.

From metaphorge, the definition of a terrorist: one who attempts to use fear to achieve political gain.

I'm not playing their game. I'm going to eat my chicken soup with rice and go smoke in the sunshine.

I was disgusted yet again at how incredibly inarticulate Bush is when I watched him on CNN this morning. Man....

I think it's from Really Rosie, which was on TV once when I was about....17? So, 1982 or so, although this production info says 1992. Maybe there's something even older that I just can't find.

I know a song, but it's just in my head from reading the books. I love Maurice Sendak.

Good for you! I guess I've gotten pretty fatalistic myself. Enjoy what I have and do what needs to be done. Don't give in, but don't let it take over your life.
