A few thoughts before I go...

litheraToday is training. I won't be here much to answer comments but I will get to them if you leave them.
Troy on Friday! Anyone up for it? I'm thinking like an 8 or 9 o'clock showing. Let me know.
Talking to Ben this morning about how he saw the video last night of Nick Berg. His comments on it are: It was really ominous at the end. Just like the stories said, they were shouting "God is great!" up until the head came off, and then it was just eerily silent. Just makes me wish it were more clear cut. That these weren't small groups of idiots mixed with good people, but maybe a whole country full of them. I really do think people should watch the full thing, though. I don't think it'll have the effect that the people that made it wanted it to have. Once the emotions settle down, it gives you a lot more to think about. For one thing, I really do believe our leadership is better than that. The image the video presents isn't that of a people unified against us, though. They're no officials, no military. It's 5 or 6 guys with their faces hidden. It really sends that message home, that it's not the whole country. Once the outrage settles, that message will be quite clear.
And on a much lighter note, who knew Link was a hottie? I might have to get a Gamecube just for this game. I have a weakness for Zelda games...
