I'm not helping myself at all by staying up so late. John and I watched Mystic River, another movie we failed to see, but at least it only took us a couple years. I guess it's Depressing Movie Week for us, if you don't count The Empire Strikes Back that we watched earlier this evening with the kids. We also watched Bowling for Columbine last night, though I missed almost the entire last half because Kay called. Half was plenty, really. I was getting very disturbed watching people get shot. I have a low tolerance for death. Watching, I mean. Everyone has a low tolerance for death. Heh. I don't need to see all that. It didn't help convince me of anything. I get it. Guns kill. People do terrible things with them. I don't like guns or violence or racism, and I don't need it shoved in my face over and over and over again to know it. I'm probably overly sensitive because of the previous movie, but I wouldn't have liked all that anyway. I'm not sure if I'll watch the rest another time. I dont' really like either side of the political spectrum anyway, and that had a whole lot of both.

I'd like to talk about it more, but I am tired. I won't say I'll talk about it later either, so I won't make any commitments to break. Hope I can get a good night's sleep.
