(no subject)

Tonight I watched the Iranian movie جدایی نادر از سیمین‎ (A Separation). Extremely well done, but extremely depressing. To unwind afterwards so I could sleep, I folded some laundry, did some dishes, and then--as long as I was upstairs--I stopped and logged onto Facebook.

That was a mistake.

I'm too cynical to be surprised by the Zimmerman verdict. But I had held out hope that the manslaughter charge would stick. I thought perhaps--even in central Florida--we'd come that far as a people. Nope.

I'm going to go play with my dictionaries now.
