quesarahHappy Thursday all, and Happy Veterans Day to US folks. Celebrate our servicemen and women, even as the assault on Fallujah continues...
Random post today, 'cause my brain is full of the randomness. Does anyone think Arafat's death is going to have any effect on the Mideast peace process? I'm honestly unsure if it will; even if it would I fear that Bushie would fuck up any chance for a lasting peace. But please, share your thoughts and ideas; I love to read them.

New journal layout. The old one is too buggy, the display freaks out almost every time someone posts a meme. Annoying, especially since I like that layout. But until such time as someone debugs it, I will switch. Ah well, at least I have some pretty purple on my page.

My friend/mentor Denise is a real world traveler, and has spent time in many beautiful and exotic locations. I have enjoyed her photos and stories of every place, but never felt terribly jealous. Until now. She just came back from a tour of the Galapagos, which is every biologist's Mecca and Club Med rolled into one! She sent a quick email with a photo of her next to a giant tortoise. A giant Galapagos tortoise! How brilliant! I must see her slide show, hopefully very soon.
********
Lastly, since my post on the topic spurred such great responses I've decided to post bits of lyrics with good visuals as I come across them. Hope you enjoy.
Can you see in my handwriting,
the curve of my "g,"
the longing?
