My dad just got back from my little sister's award ceremony thing at the elementary school. In his words "They give an award to whoever can breathe properly through their nose." So it took a really long time.

And my mom called and is telling me to call the orchestra department and try to get my sister's summer lesson times changed because we're leaving town on one of the days she has scheduled. And I don't want to. Because I don't know who is going to pick up on the other end. And I'll freak if it's Michelle. And act stupid.

There's an article linked to on medical_geeks that almost made me throw up.

It's a news thing, from Nepal, talking about a deformed baby that was born. There are pictures of him in a bowl, being carried by someone above their head along with tons of other people marching like it's a parade. And it says that the baby drew "a huge number of onlookers to witness the astonishing sight".

That's gross. This is a baby, people. There's nothing about what was wrong with him (anencephaly), they just call it a deformation.

And upon reading the article again, I just noticed that they call him a "baby". With quotation marks and all. As if he wasn't a real baby. As if someone didn't really give birth to that child.

Watched "Double Blind" yesterday. 'Twas a cool episode. Just for the fact that there was a huge amount of Doris Pickman, the paramedic that I think needs to be made into a main character. And some really good Maggie Doyle lines. Like "Guess he thought anything goes with the gay chick" and "Self-respect's a bitch".

Was watching "A Knight's Tale" just now (I had been listening to it while on my computer in the next room, but walked out there for a minute while I was waiting for something to load) and saw this shot that was rather interesting. It looked like Geoff was sucking on William's neck. So I had to bring the DVD over here to cap that.

I found an audio clip of Sam's memorial speech for Janet.

And am now sad.
