I'm somewhat wasting my life today. I'm not sure how to not do it - considering I'm at Wendell and Mary Janes and doing nothing but going out to eat and watching movies/tv. Yes, I just typed that. I watched both a movie and the television today. Wendell likes to watch a movie on Saturdays and then television - and the television is so loud and in the sitting room with all the furniture facing it - so its almost imposible to NOT watch television. Right now we're watching CNN. Apparently, the Cowboys practice bubble just collapsed and now they are talking about swine flu. Oh, swine flu.
Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s 25,000 Americans died of A.I.D.S. before President Reagan gave his first speech on the disease. (learned in "And The Band Played On"). Lets just chew on that for awhile.
I embarrassed myself by talking about A.I.D.S. passionately for maybe 25 minutes straight to poor Matt and Natalie. I couldn't help it! I was...overwhelmed...by the facts presented in that movie. I don't even know where to channel my outrage at injustice energy - especially since it was like, 30 years ago. I'm an emotional person, ok. And I'm pregnant. You do the math. :)
I can't write about anything substantial right now because the television is SO LOUD. Now CNN is reporting on Obama perhaps electing more than one supreme court justice soon. Oh boy.
Samuel Alito did not take a very good picture for CNN - just in case you were wondering. Poor guy. Aren't those pictures digital? Couldn't they show it to him and let him re-do it?
We watched An American In Paris earlier. Delightful! It's a sing/dance/big set movie and Mary Jane loves those. It's so much fun when she gets into it and squeals with delight (literally) at the people on the screen. sigh. I love it.
I have nothing to say. The tv is blaring and I can't concentrate.
Expect a nice, spirtual/love/marriage/Hope Chapel (i'm in love with them) report soon.
