Tillman/Lynch Hearing

Powerful stuff
I dont know how I became that guy who watches cspan instead of espn. I guess I should have linked to the highlights. Skip to about 25 minutes in for the brother. Kentistan says this stuff is too bleak. I guess I will come up with some jokes for the next entries.

Candlelight Vigil

This thing is tonight @ 7:30 a few blocks away from work. This is all the information I have. Unfortunately, I have to be elsewhere. Its probably for the best. After September 11th, I walked into one a WSP by accident and ended up bawling most of the night.

The Greater New York City Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni
Association (Manhattan Hokies) will hold a public Candlelight Vigil on Thursday, April 19, 7:30 p.m., at Washington Square Park, New York, NY There will be a moment of silence to honor the victims, families and friends of those affected. Please feel free to forward this to anyone else who might be interested. We will be bringing candles for participants.

NYT crack coverage

He was a stranger in a crowd of 26,000. Cho Seung-Hui was even unknown to the young man who for nearly a year slept just feet away from him.
Why don't you just title the article how to scare the shit out of every freshman in the world.
Although Mr. Cho told his roommate he was a business major, the university said today that he was an English major
Is this significant? Is this top of the line reporting? A connection between lying and mass murder. Is it just me?

The suite is made up of three rooms, each with two students, and a common area with a couch and two chairs. There were no decorations on the walls and the bathroom, in typical college fashion, was littered with discarded soap dispensers and bits of toilet paper. Above the stall was a sign reminding everyone to flush when they were done.

Mr. Aust spoke just outside his room, on the wall outside the door was Mr. Aust’s name was with that of his roommate, spelled “Sueng-ho,” on an orange cutout of a fish provided to all the students by the resident advisor when they moved in last August.

A description of a dorm room with a cardboard nameplate. I am sure his roommates enjoy the analysis of a psychopaths room....... Really, this is supposed to be from the best news organization in the world?

When he was in the room, he would spend a lot of time on his computer, downloading music and stuff,” Mr. Aust. said. There was no single style of music that he particularly liked in particular, from rock to country to pop.

He listened to all types of music.What???

This is pathetic. I am going to seriously cut down my news in the next month. Maybe this is a sign to take the summer off.

Rain

Did anyone know it was going to rain today? I wish somebody would have told me or something.

Speaking of being rained in -- I can't tell which is a better movie Back to the Future II or Back to the Future III.
