"Whatever you do, DON'T MENTION THE WAR"

sanpaku_backupOur expedition to Sharon to do the passover shopping yesterday did not yield the complete set of things we need for the holiday, requiring going into the belly of Boston for the remainder. As we dodged angry motorists and circled Coolidge Corner for a half an hour for a parking spot, causing massive spikes in my blood pressure, the Mrs. remarked: "I can just see the LiveJournal entry in my mind right now."
I guess I've gotten a bit predictable. So I won't write about Boston after all.
Anyway, though, after eating kosher shawarma at Rami's resulted in an excruciating and sleepless night for me, I lay in bed and tried to think of why I am less preoccupied with friends these days. It was not too long ago that I was complaining about that a lot, but recently I have lost all interest in being social. I think it has something to do with the war. I am interested in arguing about the war, but I am not so interested in hearing what people say about the war. In the few instances where I have discussed it with people in person, they have tended to not have very deep thoughts about it. I find that more disappointing than anything else. It's one thing to disagree with someone, it's another to realize that they are just not that interested in the topic to begin with.
This is odd because just about every single one of my friends is against the war. But I'm afraid to ask for their opinion, let alone the opinion of someone I don't know very well. I'm just impatient with underinformed conversation.
In other news, I am having way too much fun making new user icons. I think I will have to get a paid account just to be able to have more than 6.
