and it's the end of january and warm and sunny and the weather's broken.

To go completely to the other side of happy, random thoughts:

Does the idea of Exxon posting a $11 BILLION dollar profit last quarter make you feel ill? I'm having a hard time containing my disgust for the oligarchy right now, especially after watching the video for "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and fighting tears. Again. (I hate that song, just for that reason.)

I have to echo Honeybunch on his sentiments on The Constant Gardener: I can't say I liked it, but it was a great movie. Gave more vent to that feeling of disgust.

At times I wish I could be oblivious. That way I'd never feel compelled to read the newspaper or online articles, or volunteer to help people who need it. Having said that, reading the Faith and Values section of the Dispatch has given me some new hope for middle-American church values. Take off that WWJD bracelet and start doing it (without complaining, kthx).

Angst brought to you by the letters P, M and S.

That billions in profit thing makes me feel completely ill, especially when my own heating costs are nearly doubled. Which is one reason why I bought an energy sector mutual fund with my Roth IRA this year. I guess if you can't end the evil, you can at least join in the profits.

Exxon needs to roll over and die, seriously. *flails uselessly at them*

I'm still boycotting Exxon after the whole Valdez fiasco -- it makes me sad that they're making such a big profit. Especially considering the gas prices and everything else..
