Another anniversary commemorating the attacks of 9/11 (those blasted Americans had me writing the date backwards all day at work). Reports on the radio this morning stated that a handful of patriots had gathered at the US embassy in Canberra to remember the atrocities that occurred 5 years ago. I think it's great that people want to remember, god forbid should we ever forget. But it seems that every year, the media attempts to glorify it more and more, to the point that we become almost numb - now I see the footage of the airliner striking the World Trade Centre, and don't even flinch. Nothing of that magnitude should be normalised - it even happened with the London train bombings. I just hope that we never see anything like it happen in Australia - or anywhere else again for that matter.

On a lighter note... happy that my 55c wasn't wasted voting on Australian Idol last night - Perth boy Chris Murphy lives to see another day. Now to see that West Aussie luck continue when the Eagles face the Bulldogs at Subi this weekend. Fingers crossed.
