Tonight: three hours of martial arts training. Ah, Tuesdays. All summer I had editing class on Tuesday night, now I just roll around in the dojo.

One of my instructors (sensei) has been selected for a makeover on the TBS program Movie & a Makeover. It’s one of those shows where they screen a movie and every once in awhile break in for a segment on something or other. They chose Teri because the film is “The Bodyguard” and they were looking for a female bodyguard. I am so excited for her! She is in Atlanta right now filming the show. It doesn’t air until mid-December, however, and the time slot is a grueling 6:30AM Sunday morning. It will be worth getting up in the darkness to see her get her makeover… which I guess we will get to see in real life next week! Wheee!

In the terrifying state of Florida, rush legislation was passed today to re-insert the feeding tube into a human vegetable who has been in limbo for over a decade. The selfish, ignorant supporters of this decision say it has restored their “belief in God” — that this poor woman will now be trapped in her mortal coil indefinately.

I wonder if any of these knuckle-draggers has realized that their “God” has been trying to take this woman from our world for ten years now, and only the moronic interference of humans has stopped the course of nature?

I hope they all suffer the fate she has suffered, and have to exist half-alive in the prison of neverending sleep, as their bodies wither and their families’ bank accounts are bled dry.

No wait, I don’t hope that, because I have the same compassion for terminally ill and brain dead people as I had for my childhood cat, who was mercifully delivered from the pain of his disease back in 1986. Too bad human life has “more value” than the life of a pet. Or does it?
