Hmm… so I just read a post about Obama saying, “This is my second visit to Yad Vashem…I am always taken back to, sort of, the core question of humanity that the Holocaust raises. And that is, on the one hand man’s great capacity for evil but on the other hand the capacity to join together and stop evil if we are willing to speak out in one voice.” The author said that this quote was in poor taste… I just have one question… How? Looking back on it he may want to change his wording or add something, but what he said overall is not bad. Yes he was simplifying the Holocaust, but he wasn’t there to give a huge speech on the Holocaust.  And then apparently Obama is the devil for saying this. How many dumb things has Bush said?! Pretty much every word that comes out of his mouth is the wrong one.

Bleh. Politics. Okay, I’m done with that. So, speaking of the Holocaust, I am taking my class on it now. It’s really good, except it’s tough to read some of the stuff, like the Jedwabne massacre. I don’t really want to go into because of how graphic it is. But, yeah. I really like learning the details of this stuff. My roommates boyfriend was asking what exactly I’m learning in this class since everyone knows about the Holocaust, but what you learn about it is so superficial. I really like learning the details of what happened. I had no idea about the Hitler-Stalin Nonaggression Pact until I took this class.

So otherwise I’ve just been working a lot. Frank finally came back after going home for a week. Then he had to go to Phoenix today and ditched me for the whole day. We were supposed to go see Batman tonight – his idea – especially since we stayed up til 1 last night watching the first one, even though he had to get up before 6 this morning. That annoyed me. I don’t even think he’s left Phoenix yet, and I don’t think he will at this point in the night. I hate when people break plans.

I’ve been watching a lot of Weeds again – I was watching Gilmore Girls again for a while. I can’t wait to catch up, but it’s going to suck to have to actually wait a week or more to see the next episode haha.

Alright, I must finish my reading for the night, but I needed to write a little and vent a little.

Oh, and I hate hate hate bills.

καληνύχτα – aka Goodnite!
