I told myself I’d start code year 2012 this weekend, but then I bought a crochet hook. Oops. At least I’m (re)learning something this year. -_-

I picked up “Trial Lawyer: The Jurisprudence Game” which was produced in the 70s at the swap meet. No one has ever wanted to play until today. Yay!!
I must have this.

(Photo) Voting for Ron Paul would be harmful to humanity and the Earth — A Pro vs. Con balance-sheet »
Especially for my progressive/liberal friends who think Ron Paul is somehow an alternative just because he’s anti-war and supports the legalization of drugs.
Awesome.
these are reasons why apaulogism is a bad thing

The French breast implant scandal and blaming the victim
“The NHS treats people for example who play rugby,” Charlotte Vere, the founder of a think tank named Woman On, pointed out on the BBC program. “They chose to treat people who have sexually transmitted diseases. Are we going to make moral judgments?”
Oh yes, we most certainly are. This taps into our disgust for what’s seen as a fundamentally female character flaw. Vanity, thy name is woman. So, the argument goes: vain women deserve everything that happens as result of their vanity, even if the results include consequences that couldn’t possibly have been foreseen. There is no such similar scorn in discussing, say, a hockey enforcer whose brain was turned to poutine because of the violent job he excelled at and chose to pursue. Rather, there is sadness and pity and calls for reform of the sport.

Homemade version of Native Foods soul bowl -
Got a hulu free trial again. First time seeing tv ads in a while. So there’s a kitty litter ad with “but what about the feces?” as a line… and then an invisalign ad with twins, one of whom has invisalign while the other has braces and head gear. Really? “What about the feces” ?! Also, why does the ad not acknowledge that the parents clearly love one twin much more than the other? TV, man…
The bottle said red; my hair is most assuredly pink. Not complaining, but I was trying to try a *new* color. :P
Crackling fireplace or crackling Yule log fireplace? Both episodes are solid.
