Blog to (hopefully) contain all random thoughts on today, Thursday, the eighteenth of December, year two-thousand and eight

Poor Caylee. They've found a body and they're waiting for the autopsy results. For some reason, I had a feeling that she was gone long ago.
Now, this is a horrible case and I realize that a lot of people feel very passionately about it, but do they have to have an update every day when there's no new information? During the first month or so, I was thinking about Caylee's family and I thought that they could not possibly be liking this. I thought it would be hard, missing someone and literally seeing their face everywhere you turn. And this news is important to her close family, and the people involved in the trial and such, but does anybody else really deserve an opinion? If anyone has one, it's what the media has anyway, so it's obvious to everyone else that you're thinking exactly the same as they are.
Then, what really hits me is that people get all worked up over a missing white child, when this sort of thing has happened before and no one made such a fuss. It's like, until CNN put a face on child abduction, no one really cared. And everyone will gladly voice their redundant opinion, but only a small percentage of those people will act on it.
And if all this is true then you're talking just to hear yourself talk right? Or else you want everyone to know that you dislike child abduction, that it's a terrible, terrible thing? Well if that's all agreed upon then, that it's a terrible thing and that it happens all the time, then shall we move on?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, turned out to be a great book. The only problem I had with it was that it's so short (roughly 26 pages, one sided), that a few of the characters aren't entirely developed. Though the film adaptation may be longer than the book, I don't feel that will necessarily be a bad thing. The cast certainly looks well enough to meet my expectations; Brad Pitt fills my mental image of Benjamin Button perfectly. Definitely worth your dollar.

And, Christmas is only seven days away! I hope I'll be able to sleep on Christmas' Eve. I haven't been good about that the past few years. Maybe because of all the hot chocolates and cookies and sweets? No, it must be insomnia :P

I got a cool, blue plaid jacket today. It has plaid, thermal pockets.
I also found a white chain lying on the floor near the mall and decided to give it a home. Now, that home was supposed to be on my wall, but alas, laziness prevails. I'll get around to it sometime during the break. Sometime after sleeping in, I shall hang it neatly below my band posters.
