divide and conquer
I am, like everyone else I know, terribly saddened by the election.
No, I’m very happy that Obama won, but Proposition 8, the gay marriage deal, passed. My gay friends aren’t legally married anymore. It’s ridiculous.
I’m angry. I’m more angry by the response than the election itself, actually, now that I think about it. OK, so [...]

so soon?
The election is close.
Ridiculously close.
The stock market isn’t doing any better and my 401(k) might as well not exist. I’m watching it all, day by day, like anyone else is. I pretend it isn’t real.
I have so much hope for what will happen aster it gets worse. My name, in Vietnamese, means phoenix. I have, [...]

It’s in my genes!
I read this article on an article that is on an article on Jezebel today.
I hope that this means I can put away my exercise DVDs and just swear of white bread, which I don’t eat anyway. Wait. I stopped eating bad carbs (maybe not sugar. I need chocolate to live) and I have [...]

more good news
Well, for those of us in monogamous relationships and/or married.
“The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one researcher to conclude that semen contains powerful—and potentially addictive—mood-altering [...]

Good news!
When I was a kid — hell, even now — I used to joke that I wanted to take the fat from my stomach/butt/hips and put it in my boobs. I apparently was a medical pioneer.
According to the BBC
The procedure – dubbed Celution – could be carried out in an hour.
