frogger in regina

This is my blog from 2001 when I was living in Regina, Saskatchewan. When I landed, I had no job, little money and instant bills to pay. Much hilarity ensues...

Friday, September 14

After watching the news on tv nonstop (on three tvs at once, no less!),
reading the newspapers and listening to the radio late into the night,
I've found that Blogger Posts have kept this entire event deeply
personal, through Blogs such as this one:

A Winning Cake
I'm watching the tape of Bush at the site in New York.
He's making a speech. People are doing the Arsenio
Dog cheer. "Woof" "Woof"
"USA!" "USA!" "USA!"
Scary.
what's going to happen now?
America's New War
Attack on America
America in Mourning

Wal-Mart has sold a tonne
of American flags.

Have you seen the radar like
graphic on some of the American
news stations?

Today is a day of mourning.

I'm watching live coverage of the rescue effort in New York
on nbc.
It's just incredible the scope of human effort and the depth
of this tragedy.
How many people are still alive down there?

Speechless.

I am overwhelmed by this.

I block out the trite commentary in my mind and
concentrate on the images.

sadness and suffering.

It was very depressing yesterday
and today.

There are too many people focussing on the trivial.
