so i've got a cold, and i'm sitting around trying to read more harry potter, but i'm incredibly distracted by what's on tv. yes, it's mtv programming, but it's really quite good. it's gideon yago's diary of being in iraq. i would definitely lick that boy if ever given the chance, because he's doing amazing work. it's very eye-opening, honest journalism, and i can only pray that the real world/osbournes crowd are staying tuned in rather than switching to "best week ever" on vh1.

our country has seriously fucked up. makes me sick that people can run away from that.
