There is something wrong with me

eumeliaSo, yeah.
This week has been insane, hasn't it, particularly this weekend, most of which I missed due to the fact that I am both lame and trying to wrap up my degree.
So I missed what is probably the most important demonstration of the last decade studying for a stupid exam. Plus I wasn't feeling 100% hopefully the fresh muggy air of morning helped clear my head in order to pass this thing.
The important demonstration is ostensibly about the fact that people can't afford to pay rent or buy a flat in this country, but really, it's about the fact that we're not getting paid enough money, that there is no regulation of practically any market and that the government hates us.
Bibi, will you please fuck off already!
And then there was Norway - which, amazingly enough, the local news didn't jump to the conclusion that it was, you know, brown people like the rest of the world. And man, isn't the world feeling that smart.
I'm sorry to be glib, but in the face of such a horrendous tragedy, my only choice is tell the world to get over itself and stop Strawman-ing groups of people that are easy to blame because they're a They, rather than Us - white people have caused more destruction and murder all over the world, than many other atrocities combined.
And yet, I don't see anyone blaming Whiteness and Christianity for this killing spree.
My heart goes out to the family of the victims in what must be the worst time of their lives.
Be strong, Norway.
I'll mention Amy Winhouse, because she shouldn't have gone. It's always sad when an artist as good as that leaves the world.
And last, but not least, on the fandom front, because mixing political and social disasters with fandom on this blog is so rare - I mainlined the first season of Hawaii Five-0 for which I blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
verasteine, who showed me picscams of Scott Caan and told me about the subtext on a show that really shouldn't be all that good, but is actually really, really good. Character consistency! Who would have thunk it.
So, now I have an icon of Scott Cann being sarcastic.
The show itself leaves much to be desired in, um, plot. The plot, was, well, okay, it made the characters suffer which is fine.
Now I'm invested and I'm watching you CBS, do not fuck it up!
I'm resting, now, and I need to watch Torchwood - oh, man I need to write about Torchwood.
I have no time.
