stupid new year

So, apparently, in Austria, fireworks are either legal, or not illegal enough to dissuade people from setting them off. For the holidays, of course. Every five seconds. All night. But also - and this is the freaky part - all day. There is no light associated with them, no flash, nothing pretty, just pop-pop-pop all the freaking time, night, sunset, midmorning, two in the afternoon. It's gotten so bad, the dogs are refusing to go outside, which means they aren't pooing regularly, and i think dog no. 1 is getting a butt infection from disuse. Also they're both hiding under the futon blanket in E's room for nearly the entire day, and convincing them to come out and eat is no small task. And, um, maybe it's just because i'm too much of a girl and don't just like explosions for explosions, but why is it fun if there's just a big annoying bang? i hope this ends soon. but it's been going since before christmas, so i'm not entirely sure it'll stop until epiphany.

edit - 6 pm NYE: jesus fucking christ, i thought the texans liked fireworks. Austria is fucking crazy.

edit - 11 pm NYE: Indoor air quality is starting to suffer. Dog no. 1 might be having a panic attack, and there ain't nothing we can do about it. Gave her a couple dog-towel blankies.

edit - 1 am 2008: This is getting ridiculous.

edit - 2 am 2008: Okay. Stop. Please. I'm tired. Clearly i can never go to Baghdad. Or Jerusalem. Other war zones. kk. No big. But stop. Now.

edit - 6 am 2008: The dogs are sad. And shell shocked. And may have PTSD.

edit - 11 am 2008: How do people still have leftover fireworks? How are there ANY FIREWORKS LEFT after that awful bangedy concerto?
