Packing Procrastination

Can you imagine thinking the nature of man is inherently evil? To me that is the saddest thought ever. I don't believe in evil people or ugly people. I just don't get Marx, Machiavelli... We need systems and orders, it's true, to prevent absolute chaos. But how do you get up in the morning thinking that you are not-good, and that the only thing keeping you from killing your neighbor or stealing from the mall is fear of the law. Oy. People who believe that must be so depressed.

On another random note... The three weeks ended, and it took me a while to get back into listening to music. I felt funny on Monday, because technically the Beit HaMikdash was still burning on the tenth of Av, and then Tuesday I was feeling that I should be a bit more sad because the Beit HaMikdash was officially gone. Hmm. So today I started with some old school Israeli, and now I'm obsessed with the new Coldplay cd, in addition to some garbage off the radio I am too embarrassed to mention. But everything I used to listen to just makes me sad now; so I must settle for the radio and listen to songs that pretend to have real words.

In other news, I started packing for school. My Canadian summer experience officially ends this Sunday. I hate luggage restrictions and planes and having to deal with my ears popping. And I don't want to leave my house ever. Three cheers for Orientation!

I will now go back to watching House. I could watch House forever. Maybe I'll do that.
