A couple of things...

First of all, I went and saw Hero last night with a friend. It's a stunningly beautiful movie, and the use of colors is astounding. It's incredibly symbolic and artistic, and I can see why it didn't do better at the box office. *sigh*

Secondly, although my homework is going okay, I'm worried about this take-home test for my Business Communication class. It's... strange. I can honestly say that I'm not sure what some of the answers are, despite the fact that I have the text and my notes sitting here with me.

Third, Diet Coke with Lime is officially my new favorite drink. The tartness and sweetness from the lime blends perfectly with the slight sourness of the carbonation giving it a wonderful taste. Yum!

P.S. This link is for you, xandydawatcher.

Apparently there's a bill before the Senate to change federal law so that anyone involved in health care, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and health insurance companies, can refuse to have anything to do with abortions if they suffer from moral or religious objections. Here are some useful links:

• Ginmar's journal entry where I first read about this.
  
• The CNN story
  
• Text of the bill and analysis
  
• Example of "Pharmacists For Life" in action
  

As someone else pointed out, it's like the scene in Monty Python and the Meaning of Life where the Irish Catholic family sings "Every Sperm Is Sacred".

Isn't. That. Just. Ducky.
