Did you all see the story in the news yesterday about Prince Harry’s stint in Afghanistan? He’d been on the front line over there about three months. The British press knew he was there, but agreed to keep it quiet because they knew he’d be a major target for the Taliban/al Queda. But what do the American press do the minute they find out about it? They blab to the whole freakin’ world. So irresponsible. This is why I have so little respect for the American press these days. They don’t give a flying flip about putting people in worse danger than they’re already in. His Highness is being withdrawn from Afghanistan immediately now.

On a different, if not happier, note. I could not get to sleep last night. And ended up sleeping until noon. I hate when I don’t wake up until 10 or 10:30. Noon is just outside the pale! Then again, I was still wide awake at 5:30 this morning, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised I slept so late.

Very interesting Lost last night. A bit confusing, too, but I really enjoyed it.

Tonight, we have lots of reruns and a new episode of Stargate: Atlantis. So I’ll be watching recorded stuff before that.

Keyed in a couple of pages yesterday on the 1920s murder mystery which, alas, only added two pages to the manuscript. Oh well.

Reading: The Wizardry Cursed by Rick Cook. More magical computer programming hijinks! :D

  1. The press is making ALL Americans look bad. For Heavens sake, let the fella do his job! Do they not relaize OR CARE of the danger they put him and his commrades in? GACK!
    Sorry to hear you couldn’t sleep, I’ve been there. I hope whatever was bothering you- doesn’t tonight.

    Enjoy your shows this evening, I’ll be watching NCIS dvd’s again, I guess.

    YAY! Two more keyed in pages. Better than NO pages, yes?

    Have a fabulous day!

  2. Got to respect Prince Harry’s reasons for pulling out. The people sworn to protect him shouldn’t have to do so with people actively gunning for him.

  3. Kudos on keying in more pages.

    I agree with you about the press. They should have kept it quiet.
