I have a few posts I want to write before I pass out. I probably wont get around to them because I never do, but whatever. …But here are a few links you should check out…
My school does more sustainablity stuff than I was aware of… I sat in and teched a show for some people who didn’t have their regular host on so they didnt know how to use our new programs for on air crap… and Naomi Divine came in to chit chat about the environment and all the schtuff going on on campus … Here is the school UVSP site that is worth checking out for what UVIC is doing, as well as Common Energy and Namoi is part of a bigger group blog, that is part of a multinational effort on climate change, called It’s Getting Hot in Here. I’ll be posting more on these guys at Eco-Chick tonight or tomorrow.
I haven’t commented about the younger girls in bars stuff that is going on right now. Not because I don’t care - but because everyone is sort of being ridiculous about it all. I wont name names or get into it… even though it would be a nice way to stir the pot a bit - but fact of the matter is I dont feel like it and I don’t have the energy to get into fights.
Michelle Malkins in Iraq…. LoL… and for the Best. Photo. Ever. You can always count on Gordo.
This post at Pandagon is great… I was saddened when the jerk ass at Firedog lake took a hit on a woman who had breast cancer - seriously. … … … That’s not even remotely cool or funny. Its seriously nothing to joke about on any level, and how could he think it wasn’t going to piss people off? or was that his intention… Either way, its disgusting how incredibly inconsiderate people can be about a topic that effect so many people in so many ways.
My grandma had breast cancer, and theres a very high chance that my sister or I will have it as well. My grandma was such a trooper - when she was going through all the treatments she was still doing Meals on Wheels… feeding other people, doing other people’s gardening and trying to take care of everyone around her. My grandma is by far the greatest, strongest and most fantastic person I know.
I really like Zuzu’s post at Feministe. I don’t think I’ve ever done a "one-size-fits-all" rant before… I think it’s really stupid, because obviously one size isn’t going to fit all - but I’ve never actually ran into a problem with it. I’m bigger than the average girl, but I’m not big enough to have to show at special stores or worry about one size not fitting my all (well actually, in the breast area it becomes a little problematic.) But still - just because I haven’t had a personal encounter with it doesn’t mean I think it’s any less stupid - which I do.
I guess that’s it for right now. …I thought I had more than that. I probably do - I just don’t remember them right now. I plan on adding these two blogs to my blog roll at some point - but now that its all fancy dancy it takes a little bit more effort to add them… It takes about 5 minutes, and I just don’t feel like doing it right now - but watch for them soon, taking over Gordo’s place at the top. I’m also still trying to figure out why when I post the science blogs they don’t stay… Like Retrospectacle, A Blog Around the Clock and Adventures in Ethics and Science. I have all their little pictures ready to go - but for some reason they won’t work. At first I thought it was because of the extra back-slash - but geology news has that … so I don’t know. Oh- I also want to add Republic of T. Which I like more every time I read it.
Anyway - the roomie has just made me a cosmo. I don’t know if he could tell I had a long day, because I almost kissed him or because he was just feeling nice - whatever it was, I’ve never loved him more. Thanks Daniel!

Well, I’d hate for you to have to stop reading my blog, without providing a substitute. I just stumbled on this one yesterday. It’s got a lot of interesting stuff.
And since you mentioned the attack on Hamsher, be sure to read James Wolcott’s take. Nobody takes ‘em down harder than Wolcott.
What got me about that one was that someone actually treated what was clearly a self-deprecating piece as though it were a self-aggrandizing piece, and attacked it in the nastiest possible fashion. To do that, you have to be both mean AND stupid.

But I will check out the links anyway.

Jordan - learn how to type properly. I don’t understand, you speak perfectly fine and you write brilliant essays but you come here and I feel like slapping you for talking like such a shit for brains. Shut up.
Gordo - not necessary on any level what-so-ever. But thanks, yo.
