(no subject)

Have I mentioned how damn frustrating it is to be half blind?! I need this surgery sooner, dammit. Actually, I'm not as bad off as I make it sound. I only have trouble reading text three to five feet in front of me, particularly if its black text on a white backrground. I can see white on black fine. But given that I work in front of a computer all day, its really annoying. I like need elbowpads or elbow rests or something since I'm always kneeling on my chair and leaning on my desk since moving the monitor is not an option. Xmag works fine for reading, but it only takes a snapshot, I can't use it to type though. So most of the time I'm bent over the opconsole when I need to type. Well, I guess its a treat for the ladies looking into the fishbowl. After all, my butt is one of my best features! Or is it my boyish charm?

Anyways, TV time:

( Smallville was meh. )

( The misadventures of Angel and Spike in WWII )

( Marissa's a moron, Seth's a dick, Luke's creepy, and while Anna is cool as hell, I'd still pick Summer )

TV scenarios

(Yeah, I know, I posted this to gtg already, but I'm bored and legitimately curious and this would get me more opinions):

1) I guess the laws vary from state to state, but I would think if you were illegally racing someone, and they die, you would be liable for murder or manslaughter in many places even if the guy had planted a bomb in your car. I mean, many places would nail you if you were just driving recklessly and plowed into some innocent pedestrian or other car. I don't think the fact that they chose to race you makes any difference, because their reckless driving is tied in with your own.

2) Let's say a girl has some heart condition and is quickly brought to the hospital and will die if she doesn't have a heart transplant immediately. Coincedentally, her father is fatally stabbed at a nearby ATM and is brought in. He dies, but his heart is okay. The doctors can just give his heart to her without anyone's permission?! If its just them two, I can see it as fine. But if they have a wife/mother around, shouldn't they need her ok? I mean, let's say they were strangers. I don't think a doctor could just give someone else's organs away just because they're a perfect match. I would think they'd go to the family first and ask permission. So conversely, even if they are related, I don't think the doctors can assume that the family would just be all right with it.
