It's Been A Long Time

I don't know how many of you formerly-faithful readers are left, but I thought I'd blog for a bit while waiting for some pictures to print.

I've been ridiculously busy since I started a new job. I don't have any free time at work to goof around (oh how I miss those days), much less take time out to blog. I feel a bit bad because I'm not able to respond to friends' emails as quickly or as thoroughly as I would like to (and used to) so if you've noticed that please understand I'm not blowing you off or uninterested. I'm just busy as hell!

Other than that, my life is about the same. I've been watching a bunch of movies lately, most recently The Devil Came on Horseback. It's an eye-opening, informative documentary focused on the crisis and genocide in Darfur that is being ignored by all the people who make decisions that could help. I know the general public hears bits and pieces about the situation over there and most of us are probably confused and in the dark about what's really going on. I mean, I knew that celebrities have been trying to drum up publicity for this cause and I knew people were being killed, but I honestly didn't know to what extent, why, how, what the UN is doing to help, what the US government's stance was etc. This film does a decent job of explaining the details in an understandable way. More importantly, it proves (to me, at least) that genocide is definitely taking place and everyone needs to put politics aside and save lives over there. If you're interested in finding out more www.savedarfur.org is a good place to start.
