terror in london

times like this, i don't WANT to be 10,000 miles away from my family and friends and everyone i love in the world. and it doesn't help that ignorant americans have taken this bombing as a new excuse to crap on about their war on iraq and how many new allies they can get because of it.

the most ignorant american thing that's been said to me thus far happened the day after the wedding at the 4th of july bbq.
groom's aunt from NYC: so when you guys watch american movies, they gotta put subtitles on there for you huh?
me: ... no?
groom's aunt from NYC: but.. you can't understand us, can you?

argh. sometimes i hate this place. i'm homesick. i'll blog about vegas some other time.
