So, I've been working at the "Great Minnesota get-together" (whoo-eee...). It is officially beginning to stink, literally...it smells. It's hot. The paramedics were called 25 times yesterday alone for the old-folks who couldn't handle the heat. Huh, this summer seems to be one heat wave after another. Also, I am working everyday for long periods of time (between 9 and 13 hours) out in that heat. Bloody hell! But my girlie-poo wants food and a movie, so here I go...more later? If I survive...if I don't run off to England first...if you call me :) Ciao ciao....

Oh! A little Italian couple saw the buffalo calf (is that the right term???) that I was petting. The man said, "c'e un piccolo buffalo!" It was like honey to my ears...smiles...need sleep...buona notte.

You know how some games are fun at certain times and then when you are stressed you just really don't fee like playing? Well, I'm stressed right now. It is pretty obvious if you can hear my voice, or see my mannerisms-they are a bit more stiff than usual. So if you want to play the game of bringing topics up and then not finishing your thought, or explaining yourself DO NOT PLAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW. Got it? Unless you would like to write an argumentative paper in the next hour or so, piss off cow girl go eat the grass.

I am so proud of my parents. They have finally upgraded their computer to a cable modem. This is actually more beneficial for me than anyone else, because now I can use my AIM account! Wahoo! We are also getting rid of shitty-ass AOL. So please email me only at kmperron@stthomas.edu.

The guy that came to install the cable was great, it took maybe 10 minutes. He said that the last two houses he had been at had squirrels eating away at their signals or something. I pictured these squirrels gnawing at cables and then getting fried. I laughed.

Last night was pretty shitty, until Anna cheered me up. (Thanks, Anna-Lou, I mean Rose.) We talked about economic justice in class and how unequal and unfair this world is, or rather how much worse the US is than any other country. I would move to Germany, where they have the most just economy in the world, except that I dislike the German language...we'll see, I could just move to Canada-eh? They aren't quite Germany, but they are a hell of a lot better than Uncle Sammy-poo.

I think that's all for now. I have a headache. Har det godt. (I miss you, nords)

Capital Punishment. This has always been a challenging subject for me. That's right, folks, the opinionated Kristen has officially been stumped. I just cannot make up my mind about what justifies the death penalty.

We discussed this oh-so-exciting ethical subject in class last night. Then I asked Al his thoughts. My favorite of Al's insights: Rape justifies capital punishiment. "Drug offenders get more time than rapists!" Drug offenders really only hurt themselves, but rapists take something from someone else and leave them alive to be constantly reminded of it.

I think that I have come to at least one definite conclusion among this indecisiveness and that is Texas should keep the death penalty specifically for this reason: G.W. Bush should be dragged back to his homeland, put on trial for the murder of thousands of innocent civilians and lying to national and international audiences (if he could be tried for prejudice, I would encourage that as well, but it just wouldn't fly in Texas). He then would be given capital punishment and we can watch the couple Republican protesters outside with their silly signs (and then laugh because they are the pro-capital punishment majority anyway). Then he should be given the punishment he deserves: to be lied to, blacklisted, tortured, relatives houses be bombed and finally he should die while the families of those he has hurt (which would constitute the United States middle class public, Liberians, Iraqis and more).

So I guess I'm a bit more decided about the death penalty. Excellent.
