  So&nbsp;yesterday morning (the&nbsp;night before in the States) I had about a half-hour conversation with my wife before I came in to work. At first she said she was high, and I was about to get mad when she explained that she took two sleeping pills instead of just one, and now she was all high. We talked, as I said, for about 30 minutes, and finally I had to go to work and she had to go to bed. So we did, and I continued on with my boring-ass day. After work I got online, and got two off-line messages from Sheila, asking where I'd been and why I didn't get on before work like I said I would.
She had no idea that we had talked. Isn't that crazy? I mean, I know it can happen, after all I've seen Total Recall and Paycheck and all those crazy movies, but it had never really happened to my wife! So that was interesting... Reuters reported the following: "LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Science Museum says it is considering a radical way of paying its hefty energy bills -- using visitors' excrement. The central London museum said it was considering taking the waste from its 14 toilet blocks and converting it into electricity. "With free admission it would be a great way for visitors to give something back to the museum and help keep the overheads down," said the museum's head Jon Tucker. "We have almost 3 million visitors each year and have huge electricity bills. " The museum said the plan would be to siphon off waste from the toilets, store it and then either burn it as fuel in a mini-power station or turn it into electricity using a microbial fuel cell.
The power produced from the excrement of 100,000 visitors could produce enough to power 500 light bulbs, while also breaking down harmful organic matter, it said. " May I just say here that it's been my experience that burning shit sucks? Not to mention the stech. It's unlike anything I've ever experience. Yes, I had to do it here once, (we got rid of the "burn latrines", thank god (or Allah)), and it was a most unpleasant experience.
I hope Britain's Science Museum has a plan to contain the smell of burning shit... I really like watching the news at times. However, I must say that news in the US are mostly bad news. I never fully realized it until we got CNN international where I work for a little while. It then dawned on me that in the US they don't show international news at all. And also that almost the whole world has something bad to say about the US and that Americans don't like that. So we got rid of CNNi and paid a guy to come here all the way form across Iraq to install a whole new satellite system which recieved FOX news. It should come as not surprise that out of the 30 or so people I work with, there are only 2 democrats. I forgot what I was saying. Well, the point I wanted to make is that the news lately have been so depressing, that I've not watched or read a news story in about a month.
Yeah, we still have FOX news where I work, but most of the time the volume is turned down, so that's a relief. And, honestly, even though I've had my downs and ups, I feel so much better because I don't have to worry about the rest of the world... does that make sense? Anyway, I miss watching the cricket highlights... Ok, I have to go.
