Had a fairly quiet weekend, not really an awful lot to report. I'm feeling a bit blank this morning - no real enthusiasm, but not feeling particularly down either. As usual an ill judged comment managed to upset a close friend that I'm stll kicking myself for. I really need to learn to think before I speak. Can't make any excuses for it, it just happens. My psyche makes me an insensitive dick sometimes.
Most of the weekend has been spent watching the coverage of the war. Bad things are starting to happen. From the coverage of the television they seemed to be surprised there were losses and the Iraqis were fighting back. I don't think its a surprise to anyone else, including the military. It was interesting to watch the press conference with General Franks - a number of sympatheic and non-critical questions from the US press were answered clearly and concisely. There seemed to be questions from the BBC and others that were definitely more sharp or critical and the guy stumbled over those, very unsure of his words.
Still panicking every time I turn on the news and see there's been attacks launched against Kuwait.
Also just generally unnerved by the way anyway, as most people must be. The threat of terrorist action must no doubt increase and my girlfriend lives in a popular tourist area. Half worried that something may happen. I guess I'm just generally worried about her... I haven't managed to spend as much time as I'd like with her recently. Things have conspired against us... I miss her terribly. Her presence is much needed and appreciated, any moment I get with her seems better than the others... I'm a sap, I admit it.
Got to go look busy. Important visitors expected in the office soon...
