no longer empty and frantic


some estimates are placing the tsunami death toll at over 120,000. what an incomprehensible loss of life. biblical in magnitude. i'm sure the numbers will rise as we cross over into the new year.

what a fitting way to christen the new year.

me, i'm just worrying over my hill of beans. hey, it's all i've got.

went to the bar last night, intending to just have a beer. i ended up having 5 or 6.

going back tonight, this time to meet an old friend. there's a chance i might have another beer.

i wonder if there are any bad health effects to drinking heavily? or smoking -- is smoking bad for you?

i've got a long day of sitting around doing nothing. yesterday, i killed a good clip of time visiting the crime library. reading is the next best thing to watching tv. it's good i'm using all this down time to better myself and be so creatively productive.

i feel like a pig in a cage, on antibiotics.

Death tolls: infirmity, disease, being a woman, being old, being a male, old, dying, sick, poor, disenfranchised or innocent. (Generally).

Acute pancreatitis, chronic liver disease (cirrhosis); that is about, it. (>7/without a friend - I'd be worried). Smoking is bad for you.

Heart disease & lung cancer. (In, 90% pack/day, smokers). >4/day = bad.
