war is dehumanising. watching war on tv drives the message all the way back home. i was at justin's, basically laying on his couch between consciousness and unconsciousness, just watching the bombs go over baghdad. it's an amazing sight, to say the least. nothing in hollywood can ever compare to the real thing; if anything, this has probably enlightened everyone all over the world. even paolo's interested. a planned 1, 500 bombs over a 24 hour period. the ultimate pyrotechnics effect showcase. it's like a rock concert on acid. for 12 times the length of time.

it's just that i think that the media isn't sensitive enough. i don't know...it just gave me this lurch in my head while i was watching it all that this was one big, big joke to most people. everyone's watching the americans flex their muscles and now we have the problem. for everyone who doesn't like war, last night could either have been an reaffirmation or just a revelation to them. it just hurts. and god, i hope it doesn't happen here.

as long as there isn't a running commentary by joan rivers, i guess that it's still alright. lord knows that the americans would love to make a big show out of this.

god help us. here we go again.
