Wow - a week has gone by and I am still here in one piece too! I guess time just doesn't wait no matter you do. Been busy with this Star Wars Galaxies online game. Damn addictive you know? I am trying my hardest to catch-up with some buddies of mine who have been playing a lot longer. Of the group, I am the young wannabe. Nonetheless it is fun and I am enjoying myself though I need to take a break soon otherwise my eyes will pop out!

More Americans are getting killed and this is tragic though Bush has managed to get a cool $87 billion for the war effort. I see more deaths and it is a tragic that this is happening. The $87 billion makes my mind boggle - surely that money will make the US deficit even bigger? Still, it appears that economic figures point out to an overall rallying on the world's stock markets but I am now quite hesitant to dip back in. Content to let what I have er, grow.

The Guardian had an interesting article on the language of racism:
racism and the war in Iraq.

Well back to work for me.
