Tonight was interesting. Went to see The Exonerated...Brian Dennehy and Stockard Channing were the famous faces in this week's show (every week they get another few famous actors to read a couple of the roles). I love them both as actors and I was excited for the night, even though I knew the subject matter would be intense and riling. We started out sitting in our seats talking about online dating...always a thrill (note sarcasm). And then the show started and the transition from jdate to death row was...I don't know...sort of jarring.
I am adamantly opposed to the death penalty. A show like The Exonerated only confirms that for me. There is no in between on the death penalty, as far as I am concerned. You are either for it or against it. Certainly if someone killed someone I love dearly I would want them killed - I would probably want to do it myself. But vengeance is not justice. And the death penalty is state sponsored vengeance. And it's wrong.

Gavin won. I have to admit, even thought I voted for him I am a little bit disappointed. It would have been kind of fun if Matt Gonzalez won. Although, things should get ineresting from here on out.
And Gore endorsed Dean. I don't know why people are so up in arms about that. I mean, it's huge for Dean. But that's the process...unions endorse early, other politicos endorse early...that's the name of the game. Yes, it's bound to have a big impact. But the primaries haven't even started yet. So what is everyone getting so worked up about?
=============================================
My flight today in that airplane was RIDICULOUS. Had I made a paper airplane and flown in that, it would have been only slightly smaller than that little piece of tin I was flying in today...I can't believe how hard I laughed through all the turbulence, especially considering how flipping scared I was! The pilot was great, though, and they didn't ridicule me too much!
You know, my Berkeley application is almost done...but I still have three more applications after that to finish! So as much as I will take a breather this weekend, I still have a mountain of work to do on the other applications.
