every morning when i wake up now, i'm depressed and angry. maybe i should stop using NPR as my alarm clock...but then again, it's better to know what's going on.
i just can't believe all of this - lootings, shootings, burning buildings, people dying while waiting for rescue - can be happening in this country. when i see the pictures on the news, i feel strangely removed like i'm watching something happening across the world in a much less developed nation. but then, when i remembered that it's happening a few states away from me, it makes me so so angry.
it's almost unreal this whole thing. have you ever read 'blindness' by jose saramago? his description of the chaos and conditions in a city struck by the white blindness just keeps ringing in my head when i hear the words 'new orleans' now.
