Pretty Birds

we should probably talk about it, right? Wasn't that supposed to be the point of this blog, TERRI. since no one reads it but you, anyway.

SO what did you think? Did you like the ending?
I'm trying to think of deeper questions, but I can't really...
did you like the appearance of Osama Bin Laden? I was like "wtf' when I read that.
Mostly, at first I really didn't like how they had the party thing near the end, because I was like "wtf, there are people DYING right outside your door step, and you guys are having a play"
but then Glen pointed out that we have to do that. We have to go on living our life. They can't be completely captured by all the suffering and murder, or else why go on living I guess?
So I kind of think of that when I read about Darfur, Somalia, Iraq, Burma, etc.
Does that make sense?

Well we kind of already talked about it... HEY! This is another thing we can put on our list of ways to communicate to each other.

I did like it. I thought is dragged sometimes and he got really lost in all of the detail but I think I will probably think with anything. I like simple to the point writing.

Well I read the first half or so in January and the second just now so I don't really remember the first part too well but it really made me think about what it must be like to live during a war. It makes me appreciate the things that I think are going wrong.

I think you mean, "The Prince."

I liked that they had a play... but what actor in the right mind would be like..."Hmmm I think this is a good idea... to go into a war zone and preform!!"

I wish the bird had died though. It really got on my nerves.

I know of all characters, the bird was the least significant. Especially when it wouldn't eat. I was like, what the heck bird, do you want to frapping live or not?
People in Africa would kill for that seed.

I feel weird replying to this when it happened a long time ago.
