I feel like I should be giving up on humanity.

I've been following the 9news livestream about the Denver shooting for an hour now. For those of you who still don't know, a madman shot the crowd inside a movie theater in Denver, where they were showing the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. 15 dead as of now, 50 casualties, there's maybe bombs hidden in the parking lot by the same guy. Let us not forget that movie is PG13, so the theater was probably full of kids.

What is it going to take for the USA government to do something about their gun problem? Yes, as a very bright mind told me on facebook a few minutes ago, people get killed here in Italy too. But it's way harder here. You can't just walk inside a store and buy a gun, as if it was groceries. My uncle is a hunter, and he has to do all sorts of exams and tests every year, it is incredibly hard for anyone to own a gun here, and rightfully so. He told me the cops can drop by his house anytime just to check if the closet where he keeps his rifles is locked. If it isn't, he loses his permit and gets arrested. Which is how it should be everywhere!

And yet I'm 90% sure most of the newspapers will prefer to talk about a cursed movie franchise, and bullshit like that, instead of talking about the real issue here. I feel so, so sorry about all the victims, their families, the survivors who had to go through such a horrible experience. But I fear we won't learn anything from this tragedy.

"I hear you laugh, I heard you sing, I wouldn't change a single thing."

Super short therapy session today, as there was an emergency back in the hospital and my therapist had to run away. We mainly talked about what "respect" means to me. It was a short, but very interesting talk. I have to write down a couple of things I'd like to discuss next week, so that I won't forget.

I came back home by 6 pm, and I had just undressed when the bell rang. It was the postman, who told me they're now doing 8-20 shifts, and they will deliver mail even in the afternoon. That's very useful! I just need to get used to the bell ringing in the afternoon, the mail only comes in the morning since the day I was born. It's going to be so weird.



The package was from Forbidden Planet, and it was my new Sonic Screwdriver! And holy crap, it looks like a sex toy even more than in the show. And it already looked like the less subtle phallic object in sci-fi history. The first time it appeared I laughed a good hour. But I needed it for my cosplay, as I only had the Tenth Doctor's one, so there. It looks like a very uncomfortable dildo. And it comes with batteries, but it's a bit too complicated to open, and I don't want to break it since it's all plastic, and let's face it, the only thing that would make it more embarassing would be giving it lights and sounds.


I stopped at GameStop while going to the hospital, and bought the new Kingdom Hearts game. Kingdom Hearts is and will always be my favourite game, and one of the stories that I love most in general, and this is the first sequel we got in years (Re:Coded does so not count), I'm so excited about it my heart is racing!


Just so you know, I have very long fingers, the kind that are usually called "pianist fingers", and this thing still looks huge in my hand.


And it's going to sit there and guard the little Soras until November. Well, I'm going to do a few test pictures as soon as the bowtie gets here, but that's going to be its place.

Yesterday I started watching Grimm. I had it on my to-see list since last year, but then I gave priority to Once Upon A Time and decided to wait and see if they gave Grimm a new season (I'm not sure my heart could stand another cancellation). So far I've seen three episodes, and loved what I saw. The plot is exactly my kind of plot: magic realism, detectives, gruesome fairytales, the whole Dresden Files song-and-dance. Let's add a main character with a serious case of Puppy Eyes, and a fierce, beautiful character as Aunt Marie. And also bees that are all guys except for the Queen, who looked like an extra from Pushing Daisies, and I love it when the details make sense and are bound to reality. Can't wait to see what else they have in store. But if they managed to make an entire episode about bees that didn't send me running up the walls in horror, it is definitely the beginning of a great friendship. ;)
