Hey Alex, are you going to do NaNoWriMo with us? It'll be fun, in a doing-your-homework-on-the-bus-on-the-way-to-school kind of way. Well hopefully. But having said that, I've already got half of mine planed out in my head, so I kind of have a head start. But you have until the first of November, so even though it's crazy, it might just work...

That stuff about Bush and his dodgy dealings is pretty scary, by the way... just goes to show that if you just scratch - nay, tickle - the surface, there's loads of dodgy stuff going on... By the way, while we're on the subject of the good ole US of Stateside - does anyone have any more info on the Pakistani guy who was in jail in Hamburg (I think) who tried to warn the US government of the September 11th attacks 2 weeks prior? He (apparently) at one point got through to some official, but because he was being detained, the US guy hung up on him... oops!
