Euthanasia

Gypsy, the dog I grew up with at my parents' house has been put to death this morning. She had a cancerous growth on her front-right shoulder for a few months, and lately it seemed that the shoulder was having a cancerous dog attached to it rather than the other way around.

While it is indeed a sad moment for me, I am also happy that modern society gives us the tools to painlessly euthanize our suffering pets. I just hope that by the time I get to the stage where I require the same services, our society would have outgrown its hypocrisy regarding human euthanasia, given that my genetic material includes alleles for Parkinson's disease, cancer, heart and lung malfunction and other fun diseases.

RIP Gypsy 1994-2008

Midnight spasm

I'm thinking about it again. I know that it's completely pointless to think about it, but I am.

Been having a lot of things I want to put into writing lately, mostly about the new Radiohead album which I've been falling in and out of every time I listen to it, but I'm always driving when I think of what to say, and when I get home I'm too tired to write it down and I forget what I wanted to say. It'll come to me. The long expected weekend is almost upon us.

 Saw a documentary about Rabin on Channel 1 - and it was actually well produced. Interesting man. You can say what you want about him, but the guy showed up at the scene every time a bus blew up in Tel Aviv. Every single time. And that says something. Something different that we no longer have, and so desperately need.

 The neighbor's baby is crying again, and there are fleas here. and I'm supposed be getting up in less than six hours. I put Grandaddy's "The Sophtware Slump" to fit this gloomy mood, and now it gets me to thinking about my friend Gil, who is now somewhere in China trying to get to Tibet, and writing e-mails in Hebrew so the government doesn't assassinate her or something. This world is peculiar.

 

It's really too late an hour to be proofing
