Article about the murder of Troy Davis from a legal perspective. How this is technically the “correct” outcome, and how disgusting that is.

I am not feeling super thrilled with our judicial system right now.

Way down in the “More Headlines” section of washingtonpost.com is a little line that reads: “Condemned Ga. inmate wants polygraph test.” Seriously, that’s it. Does that scream to you “Georgia is going to KILL SOMEONE today, moreover, someone who is VERY PROBABLY INNOCENT.” Furthermore, all the parts about 7 of 9 witnesses recanting (2 of whom said that...

This evening (September 13) at around 7:30 PM, I received an email from Iris Alonzo. I had not intended to share any quotes or specific content from this email with anyone, other than to explain that American Apparel had declined to offer me a prize for receiving the most votes in their…

You know, being pregnant is kind of an immediate health issue for me.

Seriously, I can’t stop. I’ve found a way to use my internet procrastination powers for good, AND I discovered a rad cover of “Wish You Were Here” by Wyclef Jean. This is not good news for staying on top of my reading.

This is perfect. I am going here every day and taking someone’s baggage, even though I have a really limited selection of song knowledge. Because this is perfect. This is the perfect site.
Bless this post.
Wow. I… that’s a really huge responsibility. Does anybody else feel that way? Like, I just read ONE person’s baggage...

Me: I mentioned something, a very well known movie or TV show, and he had no idea what I was talking about, so I said, "Dang, you're so old." So he gave me a fake frowny face like he was upset, so I said, "Aw, come on, I was just kidding." He said, "So if I give Indie [his dog] a bone, and then I take it away but I say I'm just kidding, does that make him feel better?" So of course, I replied: "Well I take bones from you all the time and it seems to make you feel better." At which point he stopped pretending to be upset and put up his fist for a pound.
Gwen: I love your relationship. It is the most ridiculous shit ever.
Me: Why?
Gwen: It just is. You guys are hilarious.
*this conversation is not verbatim. Gwen and I have been kicking our Labor Day Weekend off right, and so what was actually said may differ slightly from the above account.

We went kayaking under the stars and even left the lagoon, circled around some mangroves, paddled under a bridge, and made it all the way out to the harbor and open water! It was SO cool (although I admit scenes from Soul Surfer were flashing through my head as I waited for a shark to inevitably jump into our kayak and eat us.)
Also, when were saying kissing goodnight in the car,...
