Yesterday [Monday] I posted a little text fragment about a certain disaster movie on my Barbelith column . If anybody read it - can I just apologize.

Normally the news doesn't effect me emotionally. And yet I can cry at the cinema. I spent the day being sick and feeling awful, but I don't think it's entirely because of the news.
