vrijdag 11 februari 2011

vrijdag 11 februari 2011 Up at 1:37. Turn on France 24. I'm watching live coverage of events in Cairo and the call to prayer. Pundits are predicting revolt as protesters amass in Tahrir Square. James Creedon does his overview of the world's newspaper headlines. Of course, it's all about Mubarak. "We Need To Drag Him From His Palace!" Reporters talk about their experiences and ideas. Egypt: The Day Tahrir Square Saw Running Battles. I'm reminded of the Revolts In Europe Of 1848.

With all this excitement, I manage to fall back to sleep while France 24 keeps playing. I have dreams in French. Up again just before the alarm. I'm glad not to hear that damned alarm. Hot Pocket for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. She gives a gay pirate from the Tampa Gasparilla Festival a $50 Pro Flowers gift certificate. Yay!

They talk about the turbulence in Egypt. One caller makes a reference to The Sorrows Of Empire. Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic. A right-winger calls in to say "We should thank Bush" for the liberation of Egypt because we committed ourselves to the invasion of Iraq. Mubarak Resigns As Egypt's President. 8:47 - Millions are dancing in the streets in Egypt.

I wish that I could be there to cheer with them.

I need to go to work. 10 - Wash dishes for Teresa. 11 - Lunch prep for Dolphins and Sea Otters. 12 - Christin's break. The kids finish lunch so early. We let the Starfish play with trucks and cars or read books. 1 - Toni's lunch. Wow! All the Starfish are asleep. 2 - Patty's lunch. The 7 Seahorses sleep until 2:55. Nice. Turn on my radio for The World. They talk about President Obama’s comments about Mubarak's downfall. Report - Washington And Mubarak's Downfall. At the White House, President Barack Obama said "Egyptians have inspired us." He noted the important questions that lay ahead, but said, "I'm confident the people of Egypt can find the answers." I call Michael and we talk about Egypt. He says that he's going to Chicago to see a OMD concert. Wow! If You Want It!

Stir fry beef with rice for dinner. Watch Star Trek Enterprise - Singularity... a black hole in a trinary star system?
