i woke up and the newspaper said RED ALERT and all through breakfast my mom and i listened to the news about the bomb plot foiled in britain. ugh and shit, i hate to think what might have happened.

anyway i'm leaving to korea in like a week and we aren't allowed to take any toiletries/liquids on the plane whatsoever plus we gotta get to the airport 4 hours prior. canadian regulations are somewhat lenient compared to the us/uk's, though.

in between soundbites about what you're banned from carrying on the airplane, the radio was blaring an ad about the world trade centre movie with cheesy patriotic lines and i wanted to barf right then. fucking wtc. it pains me that people are ... paying to see this uberpatriotic movie.

needless to say, the entire front section of today's globe and mail is all about this and its mighty depressing to follow stories like this.
