I got an anonymous Japan relief gift... Thank you, whomever you are! ^___^

I know someone currently living in Japan; fortunately, she is way south of Tokyo. I know other people who have lived there in the past, further north, maybe nearer the center of the disaster. I hope that their friends and families are safe.

The saddest thing right now, in American news, is to see Charlie Sheen getting more coverage that a disaster of epic proportions. O.O I am ashamed.

Funny thing was, before I went on a short vacation with the daughter to see the parents in WI, I came into work worried about utopiantrunks because I hadn't heard anything. And when I went back to work, one of my co-workers asked if I had found out anything. So, for some of us, and our friends, this is still an on-going situation.

Charlie Sheen is simply a pain in the ass. His TV show isn't even that good. It is kinda sad that he's getting so much publicity. Fortunately, I mostly watch Fox News. Ok, granted, it is biased on politics, but they've been covering the Quake almost to the exclusion of everything else. Point for them. One of their prime reporters is in Tokyo right now, covering the Fukushima Issue. Go, Cavuto!

I've seen nothing pf Sheen lately. Been seeing stuff about the tsunami and Libya on Yahoo, BBC News, etc.

While I'll admit to finding poor Charlie highly entertaining in that train wreck sort of way (What WILL he do next?), I do have to say it's a little disconcerting to see him still plastered all over everything with stuff like Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Haiti going on.
Our priorities... they kind of suck. >_>

I hear about CS every morning on the drive- my morning radio station has a brief celebrity news thing and he's ALWAYS on it! But, to be fair, the regular news broadcast is always about the things happening elsewhere and the regular talk parts focus a lot on Japan too. I wish more of our media was like that- here's all the big important stuff, and just a little small WTF part.

*hugs you*

I hope you've had some good news; I've had to distance myself some or I'd be gobbling Valium like a damn child star. It's just so huge a thing... And so many variables. O.o It hurts and there's nothing I can do except donate money.

I was following Anderson Cooper, but I had to stop. I guess you can have too much empathy or something; I started with the nightmares and the anxiety, and it sure ain't helping anyone over there. >_>

It just seems as if every time I turn on a "news" channel, there is that idiot babbling about his DNA or something. >.<

And now I have Libya to worry about... *headdesk*

Wouldn't suck so much if I could actually do something. O.o

I don't remember his father or brother ever being such sniveling, self-aggrandizing assholes. And if it's not him, it's the Lohans or the Cyruses or whatever badly behaved, over-paid loosely-talented "celebrity" is being a jerk.

Japan is trying to melt down and dig out, NZ is a mess, Australia is either on fire or floating away and Haiti... Good crap, those poor people in Haiti having been sitting in rubble for over a year! How is any of that less important than whatever crap Charlie Sheen poops out?!

And you know the worst part... O_O I feel more for the animals... The wild animals, the pets, the farm animals... Finding out that Maru is safe and that a woman found her cat alive make me cry with relief. O.o I'm pretty sure that says something about me, but I don't know what. >_>

I had to stop watching for a while. I was getting anxiety attacks. >.< And I ate an 18oz bag of peanut butter M&Ms. *sigh* Times like this I wish I played the lottery and actually believed I could win.

Yeah, wish we could! *huggles you*

Did you see the video with the two dogs? O_O I bawled through the whole thing...

I passed on that one. The cat one did me in. >_>

And then Merula's pointer finished me off. O.o
