As you know, Bob, the news from Tuesday has broadened my temptation to gather together a group roadtrip to Foggy Bottom and environs to provide a mass dick-punching.  So you may well expect that nerves and patience are raw for many at the moment. 

But I digress.

Yesterday I tempered my ire by focusing on the positive in my life.  I still had my words to work on; a novel to finish and another to expand upon.  I have A here with me, the both of us celebrating our thirteenth anniversary on Thursday.  [It just so happens that I'll be in Concord that day, but I should be home by afternoon as always.  We don't have anything big planned other than another march on Saturday.]  I've learned a long time ago that feeding the anger and helplessness does not help me at all; the best way for me to deal with it all is to find my own calm first before I do anything else.

As is usual, the FaceTwit universe feeling itchy as well.  Twitter feels full of Subject Matter Experts and Facebook feels full of irate memes and it's wearing me thin. Perhaps it's time for me to take another detox session.  Might not be a bad idea, considering I'll be stupidly busy all July working on revision.  I''ll pop back in near the end of the month, just in time for Worldcon.


It's a tough world out there right now.  Peace and love to y'all.

Okay, I really need to stay off Twitter and Facebook today, or I'm not going to get jackshit done.

See y'all on the flipside.

Man Punched for Singing Coldplay Song

From Yahoo Music News...

A Coldplay fan has been beaten up following their rendition of "Yellow" in a karaoke bar.

The incident took place in Seattle on Thursday (August 9) at Changes.

As the unnamed man took the stage to sing the song, a woman reportedly declared: "Oh no, not that song. I can't stand that song!"

She then leaped at the would-be singer, shouted expletives at him and told him his singing "sucked," while expressing the same opinion of the song, according to a Seattle police report.

She pushed the man and punched him, all in an effort to stop his singing.

Other patrons went to the singer's aid and hauled the 21-year-old woman outside.

Robert Willmette, one the barmen at Changes, said: "It took three or four of us to hold her down."

According to the barman, the woman "went crazy" when she got outside, punching him twice in the face.

The police were called and blocked the whole street off.

The officers took the woman, whom Willmette described as "a little hippie girl," to the ground.

She assaulted the police officer and was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, reports the Seattle P.I. paper.




I mean, it's not their best song by far, but DAMN...
