a better day
Thanks to Deb's ingenuity, I've got my black Mary Janes now. We found a shoe store selling Mary Janes at a discount, but they only had brown. I never would have thought to dye the leather black! Heheh, this is fun. A bit of touch ups and a third coat, and they will be perfect. Ahh, shoes for walking over cobblestones.
Picked up my fellowship check and wandered through Calhoun. Talked with Hana and Keith. Stole Erik's copy of Russian Beauty off Keith's shelf so I could give it back to him. He looked so good today, tall, dark and handsome. I just wanted to stay in his dim office all afternoon listening to him type. He had three or four pages of correction notes to get through by Tuesday before he sends his article back.
Walked over to Metro and bought coffee, enjoying the sunshine. I bought myself a pack of Fantasias as an end of semester present . Maybe I just like them because people look twice at a blue or red cigarette. Keith hassles me about smoking every now and then, but then he turns around to ask me for a cigarette. Silliness.
I can't believe this business with the FBI. At least they have a one month stay to sort things out. In a way, I am glad I won't be here to watch. It makes me sad enough to know my government is executing a man. I just can't support that, I can't. Who puts an end to the killing, to the pain? Do you honestly believe watching McVeigh die will somehow assauge your grief over the bombing? Will it really change things? the quotes I've seen in the news are bloodthirsty ones, and it saddens me too.

You know, I've read several of your posts on McVeigh and I just can't decide on a side. I don't believe in killing yet I can't help agree with some of the bigger issues like housing costs for jails, etc. And of course, those that kill ... its just not ok to do that. There must be repercussions. Of course, I could never watch. I'm sure its all about anger, vengence and fear. They want to quash the fear. I feel that the anger comes from fear and loss.
Anyway, I hadn't reall thought about it 'till now ... so my thoughts are jumbled and don't make much sense.
