jchrisobrienMat and I attempted to see Daredevil tonight, but about 2/3rd of the way through, the lights came up and the projector turned off. Visually, anyway. We could hear the grunts, shouts, and breaking glass, but could see nothing. Mat left to find out what went wrong. The first idle thought I had was, Something has Happened.
Mat came back in the theater, and people started leaving. He stood and told me "The theater is being evacuated."
I didn't know what to think. We walked outside, and quickly found out that the building had no water. The pipes had frozen, or something along those lines. So everyone had to leave. I scored 2 complimentary tickets, and we left.
I'm just about fed up with the entire impending war situation. Everyone you talk too has a dozen reasons why we should go to war, and a dozen reasons why we shouldn't. They talk about blood for oil, violated treaties, evidence of chemical weapons, lack of evidence of chemical weapons, not losing credibility, sending thousands of people to death to safe face, pre-emptive strikes, terrorist reprisals. I'm about done. Go to war, don't go to war, I don't care much anymore. I can't change what the Administration does.
I sway back and forth on the war. I don't like the idea of striking first (so what if he harbors terrorists? so do a dozen other countries, that we aren't attacking!) I don't like the idea of Saddam violating treaties (I don't care about the spying bullshit. The treaties said weapons inspectors had to be let in, and he threw them out). I don't buy the "we can't back down and lose face rhetoric. If the rest of the world is condemning us for wanting to start a war, how would we lose face if we decided to let the inspectors do their job? How will the inspectors find anything if the Iraqi's keep moving things around?
Other nations accuse the U.S. of wanting Iraqi oil. We accuse other nations of not acting because of THEIR reliance on Iraqi oil.
The Kingpin said it right. "In this business, no one is innocent. No one."
For dinner I made beef cooked in wine, with garlic and onion; mashed sweet potatoes, and peas. It was delicious. That is the memory I will carry to sleep with me.

Did you at least get to see Jennifer Garner's "Gothic Flashdance" scene?
