Kevin Sites is the embedded journalist who recently videotaped a Marine killing an injured (and apparently unarmed) person in a mosque. He has a blog (at http://www.kevinsites.net/ and via the [livejournal.com profile] kevinsites feed here on LJ). You might be interested in his recent entry in the form of an open letter to the Marine unit involved on that killing, how he came to capture it on video, and how he decided to handle the story and the video after the killing; it’s got more detail and a different perspective than the news reports I’ve read.

The weekend started with a wonderful date with [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine. Or rather, since it involved watching Eddie Izzard, a fabulous date. The post about the crock pot my parents gave me was because with its aid, I can convincingly pretend that I cook. Yay!

Then I took off for upstate New York to pick up [livejournal.com profile] eisa from [livejournal.com profile] infodump’s. I love long car trips, and I hadn’t had enough of them in a while, but I’ve been doing a lot of them lately. When I arrived, we went over to the house of a friend of [livejournal.com profile] infodump’s and watched The 13th Warrior, which I’d never seen and which was a lot of fun. ([livejournal.com profile] eisa, an IMDB reviewer says the language the Vikings were speaking in the movie is modern Norwegian.) Now I want to read the book. Then today I had a great drive back home (after breakfast — or, since it was at about 2:00pm, perhaps I should say brunch — at my diner, er, Jay’s Diner, which I highly recommend if you’re in Rochester).

And now, to bed.
