and then our exile

Very long, intense dreams last night.
Right now, Usman is wandering around the carpet, scattering blocks everywhere. Ah. He has grown two and a half inches in three months. ^_^

"The American soldiers killed last night in Baghdad--they were just going for leave, weren't they? Ha well they have a really good, long 'leave', now."
^_^. I don't apologize to anyone if they find that insensitive. I do not see how one should be 'sensitive' to people who've raped a nation.

I have a penchant for sleep. The past three nights I've intended to work. Intentions.

This afternoon, if my essay's finished and I'm relatively ready for my math exam, I wish to go skiing. My back hurts. I have sat too long in front of a desk. And I had forgotten how beautiful winter was. But I am stuck inside through work. I return to it. Please remember my back when you can.
