Canadian Kamel Makhloufi has designed a pair of arresting graphs:
Each pixel represents a death: U.S. soldiers blue, Iraqi troops green, enemies grey, and civilians orange.
ughhhhhhhhh sad.

public transit win!
the bus i take to work was recently (perhaps while i was away?) converted to an express bus. i am the second to last stop before the subway station. this is excellent - it comes a few minutes later (more time for hair and makeup) and i get to work faster without having to sit in traffic. BUT it means i won’t get to keep up with the latests WBG eats and some of the other characters who live further down the line.
oh well. also! it’s the same price as my old bus even though regular express buses cost 50 cents more.

unsettled
two years ago, almost to the day, a girl i knew died suddenly (within days of diagnosis) of an acute form of leukemia (acute promyelocytic leukemia, or apl). it was awful. tragic. heartbreakingly sad. i’d been thinking about her a lot this week, originally unrelated to the fact that her anniversary is coming up but then more once i remembered that. and then i watched last week’s episode of house that i missed while i was out of town (more on that later). the patient had exactly that. apl. she would have died within days, as janet did, but they managed to save her with a bone marrow transplant. of course i’ll never really know why that didn’t get to happen for janet, but i am disturbed by the many similarities of their circumstances.
coincidence? maybe. at least i didn’t watch the house episode two years ago or i might have to stop watching because that would be far too freaky.
