Going, Going, Gone

I'm going away for the weekend, camping with friends from Crusade at NU. I expect the Red Sox to be 2/3 of the way to a sweep of the vaunted (but not as vaunted as we are!) Seattle Mariners!

The movie "Promises" was incredible, really it's an absolute must see for anyone who's interested in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and has a touch of humanity in them. As my professor said, "fortunately I was at home the first time I saw it, so nobody could see me cry." Aside from being emotional, it's an intriguing look at human nature in unnatural circumstances. Kids are kids, but what about when you stick them in the middle of this kind of conflict? Oh, just see it.
