*disclaimer: its late, im tired, and not thinking clearly

I really like space. Mainly because it’s really mysterious and even more mysterious to me because I don’t actually know much about it at all. Still, I just know that’s its really interesting and if that guy on TV can cry about how much he loves space and how it’s his calling, then I know I’m not the only one who knows that there is something about space that is wild and fulfilling unlike many things here on earth. At least this is what I know right now..Maybe a trip to the A&S Museum is in order?

I should probably do some investigating on that Austrian situation too…yeesh. 

–> While browsing for Austria I came upon this in the Times:

“The bodies come and go with the tides. They wash up onto the riverbanks or float grotesquely downstream, almost always face down. They are all but ignored by the living.

In the southern reaches of the Irrawaddy Delta, where the only access to hundreds of small villages is by boat, the remains of the victims of the May 3 cyclone that swept across Myanmar are rotting in the sun. “

The imagery in this–bodies in water, rotting in sun–seems so vivid, maybe it’s the writing, but it takes an artist to see that. it’s something that can be explored even further…

“Nearby, the bodies of an adult and a child clung to each other, floating in the middle of a canal as riverboats passed by.”

Ok now a lil Austria::

“I had to create a place in which I could keep Elisabeth away from the outside world, by force if I had to,” he said.”

“Until now, the Kampusch case was considered by many as the epitome of depravity in the post-World War II history of this country.”

“He led a double life,” Mr. Polzer continued, “with one family of seven children, with his wife, and a second family of seven children, with his daughter.”
