[politics, US] Holy hell...

I did just take a look at the legislation in question, here, sections 3032 and 3033. I am disgusted and appalled, and just sent mail to my Representative.

Information on how to do that is in this, at Obsidian Wings, or you can just go to Write your Representatives.

[edit] I found the initial post because of geekchick pointing to it.

[edit edit] In very very short, the piece of legislation is trying to make it legal for people accused of terrorism to be exported to countries known to use torture.

[sleeeeeep, random]

So, for whatever reason, I was _utterly_ unable to fall asleep last night until around 1am or later. I was _AWAKE_!

Considering that I normally try to go to bed between 10 and 11 in summer (between 9 and 10 in winter), and I've not yet gotten a full night's sleep since being not sick (damn loud people in the alleyway early Tuesday and Weds mornings this week!), this is a problem. Just got hit _hard_ with utter exhaustion. I hope I sleep more normally tonight. Sheesh!

Wearing contacts apparently confuses my co-workers. Me doing it, I mean. OK, yeah, my eyes seem smaller with my glasses, being highly near-sighted. Still! They also give me a small headache (I think. I get headaches for so many reasons it's difficult to be sure. I could also have a tired headache, for example).

Visiting family Saturday. This ought to be entertaining. And long-term non-LJ-enabled friend visits from Sat night till Monday morning. I need to do laundry somewhere in there, too. Meh. And hopefully catch up on some sleep!

La!
