khaosworksOkay, so the Iraqi War is on. I'm sure everyone is either glued to their set or bored out of their fucking skulls or various shades of irritation in between, so I won't do a run-down of the news. The first few days is pretty boring boom boom boom anyway. I'm still waiting for casualty figures and wondering if Saddam will cut loose with any chemical weapons he has. I hear a couple of SCUDs have already slammed their way into Kuwait and the invading troops are donning protective suits ("don we now our gas apparel, fa la la, la la la, la la la"). I've worn those damned things - they is sweltering - I can't imagine how it'd be under the desert sun. If I were the Iraqis, I'd dispense with the chemical weapons and let the invaders just die of heatstroke. No longer in Iraq, Hans Blix, of course, is understandably pissed off with the inspectus interruptus... but now look what you've made me do. You've made me run down the news.
On a brighter note, while I still haven't gotten the official letter from UGA (and an e-mail to the Registrar's Office has yielded no replies yet, although my Professor tells me to keep bugging them), I've seen the official dates on the web site and with the Halls of Residency opening August 13 and classes starting August 18 it looks like I'll be in Georgia by August 1 or thereabouts.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jost, take note and keep the spare bedroom ready, good buddy. I'll probably need those couple of weeks to get settled in, and get really celebratory with my new Southern neighbors and family.
In unbrighter news, of course, Arsenal has been eliminated from the Champions League's final eighth. As the Brooklyn Dodgers were wont to say, "Just wait till next year." There's still the double to win.
Finally, for those who want to keep track of such things, I give you the Iraqi Body Counter, a serious effort to keep an accurate body count of Iraqi civilian casualties arising from the crisis.
