Eww.... I got the skeevies when Bones told Booth she loved him.
I literally made a disgust face. Yikes.
Also, I don't get it. How did they have a baby in the first place?
Anyway, I have to finish my research paper.
I used to love Bones despite its suckiness.. but last season there was no actual "solving".. just Bones "hearing" from the bones. and it's just lame.
blehgh.

My last piece on Steve Jobs.
I just read the eulogy by his sister: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/30/opinion/mona-simpsons-eulogy-for-steve-jobs.html
as I read this, I see people grasping at straws.
I see a man who was self-sufficient and good at what he does.
Who was good at being "good" and yet, that's not enough, is it?
Steve was not a saint. Not even close. The news/anecdotal accounts/hushed stories attest to that.
and yet, he affected his family so deeply. the people he touched. and here is a man, that may be closest to one who universally affected the world. the contemporary alexander the great, caesar, or King Solomon, if you will.
Yet Solomon's wisdom prevails. All is vanity. There is nothing new under the sun. Steve may have done his best at making his mark, but in the end, he will fade into history.
His last words tear at my heart. "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow." I wonder. were these words uttered in rapture or horror? What did he see past those shoulders? Those two words, expressed through a dying man's lips. A man whose physical being will pass away, but whose soul will remain forever.
It hurts my heart. Because he was a "great" man.. but greatness does not make for salvation.
What did he see? Did he see the depths of hell automatically or did he see the complete righteousness of Christ illuminating the complete failings of his sin? What will I see?
Even so, it is well with my soul.
