I don't know if any of you have seen Dead Man Walking, but I had to watch it for Christian Ethics.

Now disregarding how I feel about rape, murder, poor people, nuns, the death penalty, allowing the victims' families to watch, the appeals system, state appointed lawyers, Catholocisim, and Jack Black in a non-comedic movie, I was struck by the sheer absurdity of the nurse swabbing Sean Penn's arm before inserting the needle that carried the drug that killed him. I mean, why bother? Is it so that in the unlikely event that the condemned survives the injection, they don't want him to die of an infection? WTF?

Just thought I'd share.

Abby, as we're lying in bed ready to fall asleep just now: I know we can't jump on our beds, cause they're bunked, but do you think a midget could?
Me: I have to write that down. How do you spell midget?
Abby: I suppose we could jump horizontally if we put in the effort. Wait, let me try it... It's more like doing the worm.



Life is so much fun with a roommate.
