# Cat was visiting again yesterday evening, making herself comfortable (apparently the first couple of visits were reconnaissance missions), first occupying my chair in front of the computer and then sleeping on the sofa for an hour or so while I was up on my bed reading... It was kind of cozy, but while I do worry what's going to happen with her (someone from the house is still feeding her, and I guess she still lives in her late owner's empty apartment for the time being), I really can't keep her... she's used to coming and going whenever she pleases, to be outside in the yard... I can't confine her to solitude and boredom for nine hours a day, on 30m2.

# What TR has to say about Bush's re-election. I'm not automatically going into a bout of fangirlitude for him saying it at all, applauding his courage & whatnot (now granted I don't live in the US & can't really gauge the climate, but with Eminem outright calling Bush a 'monster', 'coward' and liar, it can't be quite as bad (yet); and if he loses a few fans over taking a political stance, good riddance) but I do love the wording... reason, sanity and compassion.

# Looked at more TV sets today & have pretty much narrowed down the choice (who knew that something so prosaic as buying TV could be so exasperating...) & ::sigh::, those LCDs are reallyfuckingimpressive. On the rational side of things, it's not only that I don't have that kind of money to spend on a TV, it also strikes me as faintly unethical to pay anything from € 2.000.- upward for something that only serves personal entertainment. But yeah, there's a tiny voice inside my head whispering wantwantwant.

# Bought APC's emotive, and (since it was a cheap offer) SOAD's Toxicity to replace my downloaded & self-burned copy. Also some Swedish type of Glühwein at the IKEA store...

# M. called, K. is sick, work tomorrow. I would be more annoyed if I hadn't expected something like that, much as I hoped it wouldn't happen...

You should be glad you aren't an American.

I am an American but I will be in Prague next semester and greece after that.

After all I'm hearing, I am rather glad, though it's not as if we have anything to be proud of, what with our version of the religious right in government. Not to mention the older and newer nazis of the FPÖ...

Is it that bad already? It's hard to judge just how bad things are, if you don't know a situation from personal experience, and European (especially German) leftists so often get critcized for a knee-jerk kind of anti-Americanism mixed with anti-Semitism and an essentially anti-democratic stance, that one gets a little cautious...
