Because sometimes, you just need a little perspective on your life.

Confessions of a Sudanese deserter

Go read that. Then whatever your troubles are today, I'm betting you'll feel better able to deal with them.
It's a damned good thing for Al-Bashir that his region doesn't have any oil, or the US would have been all up in his craw by now.

Some days, humans just disgust me.
That said, I admire the courage of this man to step forward and give voice to it. To be willing to put his life on the line, and to most likely never be able to go home again, in order to try and make the world see what is actually happening there, and who is behind it. Nothing will be done about it, most likely, but in people like this man, I see some glimmer of hope for the species, at least.

Let's hear it for first world problems!

You and sleep escape me.

Got bunnied today. Knock wood I can actually keep on this bad boy until it's finished, and not have it fizzle, because it's actually coming out kinda hawt.

It's been awhile since Snarry challenged me like this.
I kinda like it. Even though I'm technically *supposed* to be working on El Dorado Road today. EDR has been a bit dodgy lately though, and while I think that changing the voice from third to first person, Jack's POV will help the flow, I've spent the last two days bashing my head against that outline, and had to delete every word I'd written therein, so I think I bloody well deserve a break to work on somehting that's acutally responding, thanks!

I'm trying to decide whether this will be part of the Burning From the Inside, Double Dare verse, or will be its own critter. I suppose it'll tell me in its own time. These things usually do.
Anyhow, knock wood, and back to it for me.

Avaunt!
