Here’s a thing I’m wondering about.
The Terri Schiavo thing. The republican right raised it as a right to life issue. Most of these people are anti – abortion as it is for God, not doctors to decide who gets to live or die. Doctors who carry out abortions are seen as playing God. Well, God obviously decided that it was time for Terri to die. Why the upset? If it stands at one side of the scale, so it should at the other. By wanting to keep her alive, these people were doing the very thing they, apparently, don’t like. Hypocracy?
Well, it’s finally been announced. The worst kept secret in British politics for years. We will have a general election on May 5th. It’s been known for ages that Blair favoured an election this year, on that day. It does, however, present Charles Kennedy with a bit of a problem on the domestic front. (Kennedy’s domestic front, not the country as a whole.)
And the royal farce of the year gets weirder. The marriage of Charles and Camilla. Forst the ceremony had to be moved from Windsor Castle to Windsor Guild Hall. Then the queen announced that as head of the Church of England, she would not attend the actual wedding, just the religious blessing. Then Prince Phillip announced he wouldn’t cancel a trip to Germany, but hoped to be back in time. Now the wedding has been postponed by a day. Because the Pope’s funeral is on Friday and Tony Blair will be there to represent the British government, the Archbishop of canterbury (who will be conducting the blessing ceremony) will be representing the C of E and, erm, the groom will be representing the royal family.
Onto personal things, I now have the Firefly box set. Wooo! Excellent show. I hope Fox have fired/shot the idiot who cancelled it. I have a slight crush on for Jewel Staite. And Serenity is quite simply the best looking ship in sci-fi (and as a Trekkie, that’s not easy to admit).
Work is, well, work. I need to ask them about getting Thursday nights off for a few weeks as there is a scriptwriting course at the uni I really, really want to do.
Oh, I have a computer! It’s really old, needs a new monitor, more ram and a USB card before I can go online with it but still. Puter. Yay!
Tuesday saw much cursing from me as I built my puter desk. If you can possibly avoid it, never get anything flat pack.
And that’s about it.
