I don’t know what I’d recommend, but I don’t think going on a hunger strike when you’re on death row seems like an effective negotiation strategy. I agree the conditions he’s describing sound absolutely horrible and not fit for any living creature to live in, but when they have you in somewhere because you’re going …

A Black Day
I apologize if this post doesn’t make much sense. I’m in a bit of a haze, but I need to try and write something because a. something’s telling me I should and b. I like to have things up on the blog when they happen so they’re there to look back on. This is a …
Success!
Our first ever daily email update went out today with no problems. Yea us, and yeaFeedBurner! We’re still doing a little messing around to get the email to look exactly the way we want it to, and that involves playing with the RSS feed a little. You shouldn’t have any problems accessing it, but that …
Dear Buckley’s:
First things first, I wanted to tell you how much I love your medicine. Your product is the best weapon I have ever found in the fight against coughs and colds. In fact, nothing else even comes close. But as grateful as I am to you fine folks for everything you’ve done *for* me over …
What Year Is It Again?
Sometimes I see something that makes me want to flop my head down on the desk and cry. After all the positive steps I’ve seen women make, I see girls wanting to sabotage their own progress and put everyone back 50 years. I see them thinking thoughts that should have been shunned, but they still …
Where is Today Going?
I don’t know what it is about today. Some days poke along, some days move quickly, some days alternate between the two. There are some days that you expect to gallop, but they don’t, and some days you think they’re going to stroll, and then you look at the clock and are amazed at how …
A Big Basket of Confusion
Lately I’ve been seeing this commercial on TV. It started appearing in December, and it persists now. It plays Jingle Bells and a British woman who is apparently plump tells you that you should discover the magic of a Chrisco Christmas hamper, and for as low as $3.75 a week, you can get a hamper …
A Big Heap of…Stuff
Woohoo, random post time. I don’t know if this one will amount to much, but oh well, hopefully we’ll have fun while it lasts. I think I heard the coolest virus name ever. Oh god I’m declaring my supreme geekiness by saying that I think some virus names are cool. But some just sound neat. …
What Does MADD Stand For?
I always thought it was Mothers Against Drunk Driving. But its founder’s name is…John! And its president’s name is…Steve! How did these men become mothers? Are they hermaphrodites? That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Off I Go, Into the Wild Blue Yonder!
It looks like we finally got our winter. I woke up this morning to a hissing sound outside my window. That was a whole wack of ice pellets and snow smacking into the building. Yee ha, welcome to January. At least that seems more normal. Crappy, but seasonal. Maybe it’ll kill off the whole host …
