introduction
THIS PART OF NEWFORMULA IS NOW IN COLD STORAGE. I decided to move everything over to wordpress, with a clean start. Old posts are now under archive here, but for the latest please visit newformula.org
america is, erm, unique. I am currently watching a tv show- a selection of comedy acts (who just aren't funny) performing from the gulf, presumably, with a load of patriotic, old war reminiscing, sexist and just plain weird 'jokes'. Not to mention the news coverage here, out of this world. Like a movie. Take one channel, whose show is called 'operation free iraq', showing amazingly biased reports of the war. I am grateful the british media can at least attempt to show a few sides of the story with generally informative and interesting journalism. hmm.
being in texas for all of an hour was something of an eye opener too, as well as walking through Reno airport- the first thing you see is slot machines. then more. then, well, more slot machines, and oh look, these ones play irritating music at you as you walk by. how cool. the place was just full of them.
anyway, i am now in a place with good friends and cool people, and a ton of snow falling outside the window now. sweet. can't wait for tomorrow...
