i'm watching "a mighty heart," the true story about daniel pearl, the american journalist who was kidnapped and murdered by a pakistani extremist group. i've always been really interested in daniel and mariane pearl's story. they were both excellent, honest journalists. the story is devastating. it is beautiful, but devastating nonetheless.

sometimes i wish i could change history. i usually only think this when i want to change sad stories. when i want to help people.

but so you know, this is a beautifully devastating movie. i recommend it.
