I was looking forward to some hope!

mr_booboo accompanied me to the screening of Climate of Hope.

Speaker introduces the film - 'The government are looking towards using nuclear power because it's clean energy with zero greenhouse emissions!'

Me *thinks* Wow really! That's good news!

Speaker - Let me first explain that in the past I was an Anti-Nuclear protester.

Me *thinks* Wow, this must be good!

What we got was 27 minutes of how EVIL AND TERRIFYING NUCLEAR ENERGY IS and how it's totally NOT EMISSION-FREE and three minutes of these-are-the-clean-alternatives-yay!

Me *bangs head repeatedly on desk*
mr_booboo WE ARE NOT DOOMED!!!

Of course, then I had to go tell the guy that the title of the film was misleading and really, I needed more than three minutes of hope at the end, and his explanation? He ran out of time. Then I gently explained how he could improve his speaking voice, because I'm helpful like that.

But then we had dinner and cake and coffee with special_trille and haunted_attics which cheered me up until an accidental lapse of attention at a crucial moment put me behind in the Token White Girl (TWG) running.*

Then mr_booboo and I went back to her place and watched the new Heroes episode and it featured my two favourite characters a lot and it was GOOD, even if it did make me shout at the telly a lot.


*Mr Booboo and Haunted Attics haven't made up their minds who gets to replace Special Trille as their TWG friend while she's in China next month. It's between me and dark_squire.

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this outright, but I think you are AWESOME

Hee. One person's 'awesome' is another person's 'bossy and interfering'.

But thanks :)

*adjusts knee-rug, leans on Zimmer frame* I used to go to PND meetings. Saw Atomic Cafe at one of them. And this was before the events at Chernobyl.

Yeah, so not a fan of the nuclear energy, me.

DQ is likely going to get the job because he's more of a girl than any of us will ever be.

If you do decide to go to the paid lectures, let me know. I might tag along with you.

Oh, I'm going. I feel the need for some more hope.
