Because this is what we Gringos do when we are scared, right? We consume stuff. Our culture teaches us to consume like we're the only people on Earth with a right to it.
Today was Memorial Day. I could go on and on about the military industrial complex, the reasons that I tend to not celebrate any holidays if I can help it, etc... and I probably will do all those things eventually.
I guess I just want to recount my day.
I slept in. I made some cupcakes. I talked with my partner about our contingency plan for when the shit hits the fan and we have to, you know, evacuate or some such horrible thing.
I cried about that. Then we talked some more about impending doom, and I cooked some delicious vegan food and we spent a good chunk of the day watching Bill Hicks and other stand-up comedy and also Boon Docks.
I'm pretty bummed about the state of things in the big, bad world. But I'm lucky to have my loved ones.
