what to say?

I have so many quater-to-nearly-complete pieces to post, but I can’t bring myself to think about any of them today. The news around the world is so bleak, I’m trying to figure out who best to donate to for Japan and a few other places, opportunistic douchenozzles (thanks Jeff) are taking advantage of the situation and causing more misery, and what sounds like a slaughter is going on in the middle east with no help in sight. I know I will pull myself together and pretend that writing about gaming and hockey and random things does help people take their minds off all of this for the minute or two they take to read. Today, however, I’m just going to try and chill and think.
