Writing Photography Rambling
I had a bath early this evening, in an attempt to relax perhaps, I wasn't really sure what I was thinking. I suppose I thought it would bring some kind of unrealstic super relaxation, only dreamt of, but for some reason I believed it... and so I went to the bathroom and had a bath, with Kairi keeping me company. I was relaxed afterwards, but not quite as relaxed as I had hoped, and I'm not sure if the bath can claim responsibility for my relaxed state, as it was more so normal, than super. I guess it didn't do what I had expected, and for some reason, shortly after my bath, I felt stupid for expecting it. I find myself sitting in front of the window; the window wide open and breeze in my face; it's the only sense of relaxation I feel anymore.
Final Fantasy 6 - I made this mini-site / section while I was playing through Final Fantasy 6 a month ago or so. The character information that's available on the Character page of the section was written about two years ago, and I didn't change it one bit, I only changed the layout of the page, and I created a FAQ on the game, small, but they're actually questions that people ask me all the time. It was fun making it, as I do know so much about the game, and hopefully there will be something there to interest you or help you.
I've been suffering from boredom lately... and it's not like I don't want to be doing things, I do; it's just that there really isn't much for me to do. I'm sitting here at home waiting for TNS to call me to tell me when my training day this week is, and I've put all of the clothes into bags that I can, and emptied my desk and I dunno... there is just not that much stuff for me to do. Makes for quite a boring day to say the least... and doesn't really give me much to write about, although I've said to people before that it's not what you do that makes the writing interesting, it's how your write it.
I'm sorry but Jon DID NOT make himself look stupid. He completely destroyed that man.

NEW YORK - How's this for a feud that straddles the line between politics and entertainment: CNN's bow-tied conservative Tucker Carlson vs. "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.
Carlson on Monday fanned embers still hot from their "Crossfire" confrontation, saying Stewart looked ridiculous during his CNN appearance and was a sellout for publicly backing Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) for president.
Stewart, appearing on the debate show Friday, angered Carlson by saying "Crossfire" is "partisan hackery" that does little to advance the cause of democracy.
And that was the mild stuff.
"You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably," Stewart said.
Responded Carlson: "You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think."
"You need to go to one," Stewart shot back.
Carlson complained that for a comedian, Stewart wasn't being very funny.
"Come on," he said. "Be funny."
"No," Stewart said. "I'm not going to be your monkey."
Carlson chided Stewart for lobbing softball questions when Kerry appeared on "The Daily Show" last month.
Later, Carlson told Stewart he was "more fun" on his Comedy Central show, and Stewart called him a jerk, although he used a more vulgar term.
"I thought that he looked ridiculous," Carlson said in an interview Monday, "and I think the tape makes that clear."
Carlson said Stewart continued lecturing the "Crossfire" crew after the show went off the air. "I wasn't offended as much as I was unimpressed," he said.
Stewart wasn't talking about the confrontation on Monday, a spokesman said. Comedy Central executive Tony Fox said there may be some regret over the vulgarity, but that Stewart has been a longtime critic of cable news networks and their political argument shows.
The comedian hasn't gone out of his way to endorse Kerry. In a public forum last week in New York, he was asked who he would vote for, and he said he'd back the Democrat.
Carlson noted that many of the great comedians kept their political opinions to themselves, not for fear of offending anyone, but because it could hurt their art.
"You're selling out," he said. "If you are a satirist or an acute social observer, and he is, and all of a sudden you suspend disbelief on someone or suck up rather than prod or poke someone, people will look at you and say, `Even if I agree with you, I don't like it,'" he said.
Fox said "The Daily Show" poked fun at people in power, regardless of their party. Most people who watch Stewart are aware that he leans to the left politically.
"I don't think it really impacts the show at all," he said. "The show does what it does regardless of Jon's political persuasion."
I think I'm going to keep this entry short, as I don't really want to go into eeeeeverything that's been going on / happening, but there was something I wanted to point out because it both impressed me and amused me. John Stewert recently went on a CNN show called Crossfire, which usually features two people with opposite opinions and they 'debate' back and forth, but they asked John to come on, probably thinking he would just make everyone laugh and so on, but when he came on, he confronted both the hosts with jawdroppingly realistic and straightforward questions, and you could tell they had no idea how to handle it. It was a really amazing thing to watch, as John Stewert ripped them both a new asshole, especially the one pansy who wears a bow-tie. Anyway, I have the torrent file to the full episode (commercials included! yes!!) so if you have bit torrent installed (http://www.bittorrent.com), just click and run this torrent file and it will start downloading. The file is under a 100mb, so anyone with rogers or sympatico will be able to get it in under a half hour probably, and people on dialup shouldn't even attempt. Anyway, without further hesitation, here's the torrent file!
