"Eddie was happy at the hospital -- happier, perhaps, than he'd ever been in his life. He got along well enough with the other patients, though for the most part he kept to himself. He was eating three square meals a day (the newsmen were struck by how much heavier Eddie looked since his arrest five years before). He continued to be an avid reader. He like his regular chats with the staff psychologists and enjoyed the handicraft work he was assigned -- stone polishing, rug making, and other forms of occupational therapy. He had even developed an interest in ham radios and had been permitted to use the money he had earned to order an inexpensive receiver.

All in all, he was a perfectly amiable, even docile patient, one of the few in the hospital who never required tranquilizing medications to keep his craziness under control. Indeed, apart from certain peculiarities -- the disconcerting way he would stare fixedly at nurses or any other female staff members who wandered into his line of vision -- it was hard to tell that he was particularly crazy at all."

In all honesty...I feel bad for that man, Ed Gein. It would take more than a journal to explain why, and would be much easier to say than to write...so I'll just say that I feel sorry for him.

Anyway, nothing really to report. I saw National Treasure...entertaining at most. History was butchered, situations were unbelievable, and the story was half assed at best. But, it was entertaining enough. I really wish they wouldn't try to give every movie a meaning in the end, especially if they are going to make it so blatant. That movie makes me want to watch something old...Or maybe read something old. I do have some copies of books I snagged from my Grandpa when I visited for Thanksgiving.

I feel odd all of the sudden...
