A typical Thursday night

Watching The Passion of The Christ


I was flipping through the channels last night I came upon "The Passion of the Christ" movie produced/written by Mel Gibson. I started watching on the part where Jesus was already wearing the crown of thrones/flogged and he was forced to crawl towards the cross to be crucified. TOO MUCH DETAIL AND GORE. I just couldn't stop watching because it was soooo gory and I was constantly resisting the urge to hurl! Crucifixion is HORRIBLE! I don't know how anyone could do this or watch it being done to anyone else without flinching and feeling incredible disgusted!

I was so traumatized by the crucifixion scene that I had to find out more about why this was done to him, so I asked my roommate, a devote Christian. He gave me a quick breakdown that religious leaders back then wanted authority and order, and Jesus comes in claiming to be the son of God, so everyone started following him and the religious leaders lost power, so they went to the Romans to ask them to restore order, and they decided to crucify him. Apparently, crucifixion is a  death sentence reserved for those that have committed the most worst sins. Even just recollecting the scenes from the movie right now is making me nauseous.

I'm definitely a happy/go lucky movie person. I'm not meant to watch these gory movies. They are too much (bad) stimulation for me.

     

Hating Gmail

On a lighter note...I HATE gmail now! Every time I open gmail it opens to the html version which has no gchat, doesn't update new emails that come into my inbox and is soooo slow. I can't do anything on html!! Apparently firefox is not compatible with the new version of gmail and it doesn't load. Miraculously, the new version of gmail ONLY works with google Chrome, so google is forcing me to use ALL google products!! Very very clever google...but you aren't going to get me to convert! And besides, I don't even like the new version of gmail! In order of preference, I like old version of gmail > new version of gmail > html gmail. But now I'm ALWAYS on html gmail! And when I try to get back on the old version of gmail, they somehow converted me to the new version of gmail and I can't REVERT BACK to old version!! Drives me nuts! So I've decided I'm going to quit gmail! Sorry if you email me and I never write back because I'm going to say BYE BYE BYE to gmail. Take THAT GOOGLE!! (We'll see how long I can keep this up...)

Watching You've Got Mail

     In addition to The Passion of The Christ, I also caught a bit of the movie, "You've Got Mail" last night and I was reminded of why I hate, yes, HATE romantic comedies! They set such unrealistic expectations for love and dating. Like people writing to each other about their thoughts through email can fall in love. *rolls eyes* And of course they happen to really hate each other in real life which makes the whole situation comedically ironic. Call me bitter or a cynic, but things like that just don't happen in real life!!

I'm an Eater

Yesterday, we had another potluck at the clinic and apparently, a bunch of the nurses were watching me eat (I didn't even notice them watching me) but after a little bit, one of the nurses commented:

 "Wow, I've been watching you and you sure can put away some serious food! And you are so skinny, how do you do it??"

This totally shocked me because I didn't think people were watching me eat, but as soon as one of the nurses said that, everyone else chimed in a AGREED with her! Made me kinda self conscious because I just realized that the whole clinic was watching me EAT and now EVERYONE thinks I eat a TON! Then one of the technicians we have said:

 "I'm glad Amiee is finally eating, I haven't seen her eat since she's been here" (because apparently I never eat lunch in the lunch room, I eat in front of the computer when I'm charting)

so I responded saying:

"This is why I never eat in front of anyone, because everyone is SHOCKED at how much I can eat and then I self conscious"

Everyone laughed they thought I was joking...ha ha ha ha....
