cast upon the wall like a moonlight shadow

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today. - H G Wells

Things are calm here in the bunker. I'm oddly comforted by the rain the past few days, it's coming down unaccompanied by the damnable winds of the past few months. The lesser of two evils.

Pondering the idea of human "chemistry" the past few days, a common enough term, but what the hell does it mean?

Also thinking about Bush, and his repeated statements about withdrawal from Iraq. He says he won't without a victory, the problem, as with the entire war on terror, is that victory has not been defined. A new government has been established, Hussein has swung from the gallows, what's left?
