Weirdest Dream lately :
I dreamed I was on the "other side" when my Dad was passing. I spoke to him and made sure he was okay. Then I woke, and knew he was gone. 30 minutes later, we got the call from the hospital saying that his blood pressure had crashed in the last 30 minutes.

Currently working on :
A BTVS related story called "Long Goodbye" which deals with a member of the Watchers Council being vamped as part of an experiment.

Friendly Fire claims more victims


ITV, the English tv station, has confirmed that they have enough evidence to believe that one of their reporters has been killed.


Terry Lloyd is believed to have been killed by Allied forces in a "friendly fire" incident in Iraq.



During the first Gulf War, I was shamelessly on the side of the alies. I was all behind getting Iraq out of Kuwait. And in a debate about the war, I saw someone ask the house if we could send a letter to Stormin Norman and ask him "Could you please define 'Friendly Fire', for us? And then, could you please STOP DOING IT?"

I'm actually losing count now of the "friendly fire" incidents. I don't watch the war 24-7, and I don't know when to disregard the US "accident" versus "Shot down" stories.

Either way, I think we're up to about 20 confirmed friendly fire fatalities.

When you can't even guarantee you're hitting the right SIDE, how the hell can you say you'll minimise civilian casualties with a straight face?

Scratch that. They can't even hit the right fucking country.
