Individual flakes from the information blizzard:

Stupid thing: Headline of the Daily Star about pro-hunting protesters storming the House of Commons: "First it's Batman, now it's Basil Brush!" What's wrong with this picture?

Unfortunate thing: The Killers' song about glamorous indie rock'n'roll and how it's all they live for is in fact a really boring song, with boring guitars and a boring beat and boring vocals. If that's all they can see themselves doing in life, it's a bit tragic.

Traumatic thing: Last Tuesday's Six Feet Under. I was so upset I couldn't sleep for hours after it. It looks like Collateral has the same plot (ish), but Six Feet Under makes the trailer for that look like a happy skip through a field of pretty flowers.

(Other unfortunate thing: library clock about to run out. Okay, I'm off to see if I can still get into my PVC skirt.)

Six Feet Under - I set the video recording and went to bed. From what I've heard in various places, should I not bother to watch it?

No no, it wasn't traumatic because it was bad but because it was good. A horrifying exploration of the abuse of power, or something. Or perhaps a very complicated psychological rape. I really was quivering with impotent rage after it.
