a stoned age

Weird night

So it was a weird night at work.  A guy standing in line at register two, passes out and proceeds to die right there on the floor, between reg two and reg three.  So fucking wierd.  It was quite surreal, at first seeing my co worker giving the guy CPR and then watching the EMTs pounding on the guys chest.  All the while, customers are still shopping and a few co workers are wheeling stuff out to the aisle. What the Fuck?!?

Then the man is pronounced dead.  They put a sheet over him and drape the unoocupied stretcher with a sheet to block him, laying there dead on the floor. The coroner showed up fairly quickly and removed the body. 

What a strange night.  RIP guy, RIP.

Myanmar

I've been watching the protests in Myanmar with interest.  Now the government has cut net and phone access!  My thoughts will be with all the protesters.

Myanmar has been enflamed by protests against 45 years of repressive military rule. Security forces have killed at least 10 people in the past few days, arrested hundreds and sealed off hotbeds of dissent in Yangon and other urban centers. Exile groups and at least one western diplomat have said the actual death toll could be much higher.

The End of the Year

Not much has been going on but that is all about to change!

This weekend my bff is coming to visit!  YAY! Tomorrow I have to go shopping and buy a bunch of things for the spare bedroom since right now the only things in there are a lamp and some baby stuff.  hah.  I don't think my friend will fit in the Pack N Play.

October is packed, LS turns one, my MIL comes to visit for two weeks and our friends are getting married.

November, my brother and his GF are visiting for 10 days.

December, we fly to Kansas for Christmas.

And then, damn, it will be January 2008 and we'll be only 9 months or so from moving!   Sometime in the early part of 08, we need to travel to San Diego to visit my grandparents. 

Here comes the whirlwind that is the End Of The Year.  I think I'm ready.
