Journal Zerbey's Journal: June 12th, 2004

Well, as I write this it's 04:15 on a Saturday morning and I'm stuck at work babysitting a phone system upgrade. Whoever said IT was a 9-5 job had never worked IT :)

President Regan died on June 5th. A great man who did not deserve to spend his last 10 years with Alzheimers. I'm glad that he's finally at peace and hope that his family finds comfort in that knowledge also. I watched the funeral today and he certainly got a fine send off. I hope we made him proud.

I was shocked to see how frail Margaret Thatcher has become, she always seemed to be unstoppable and it's sad to see old age is finally catching up with the Iron Lady. Another great leader.

They finally found Joshua Bryant, the little boy who lived in the same city I do and went missing in 2001. Unfortunately, he was not found alive but buried in woods near Cassadaga. All I can say is, there are some truly evil people in this world. I hope they find his Grandmother's remains also so his family can give them both a decent burial. The suspect in the murders took the cowardly route and committed suicide.

Labour got their arses kicked in the local elections in England, looks like the stage is set for another Conservative Government. Ugh!!! Come back Maggie we need you!! The one time I voted in a UK General Election I voted for Paddy Ashdown, who has since retired. The alternative was John Major or the smiling idiot we have in power now. (Actually, the only reason I voted for Lib Dem is because they where the only people who actually came to my door asking for a vote).

Went to see the latest Harry Potter movie (Prisoner of Azkhaban). In spite of friends telling me it sucked I thoroughly enjoyed it.
