From CNN:

A representative of the parents of Terri Schiavo said Sunday last-ditch appeals will be made in Washington to get the brain-damaged woman's feeding tube reinserted. After a news conference announcing the plan, a woman, saying she was from the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigades, grabbed the microphone to say Terri Schiavo shoud be allowed to die in peace.

And I was just thinking to myself: Where are the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigades when we need them most?

Hmmm... the chick from the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigades is kinda cute....

eta: OK, this cracked me up - the caption to the picture for the CNN story says

Both sides of the Terri Schiavo debate grabbed the microphone Sunday.

Ummm... so the two sides to the Terri Schiavo debate are the "Culture of Life" position and the Revolutionary Communist position?

Dude, "Robot Chicken" just made me laugh so hard that I think I broke some internal organs.

Huh. I missed it. But theoretically it's sitting on my TiVo.

I have had a lovely day. I had cake, and brunch, and dinner at CPK, and I hung out with cool people and I had a nap. I wish I could just go to sleep again right now, but unfortunately this silly homework thing is just bringing me down. Also, I should probably shower off the random bits of sand and sunscreen that are still stuck to me, but the sunburn I have makes me feel like that would kind of suck.

I am glowing red right now, though. So sunburned.

Alibelle, JZ and I were talking about you last night as we drove home because she was listening to Prairie Home Companion and a running joke on that show are little bumpers and jingles for the Ketchup Advisory Board.

I'm a tinch sunburnt myself. But not too badly. The soy lotion is close-ish to helping.

I had no idea there was a ketchup advisory board. Awesome.

I swear I get redder and redder with each passing second. Luckily, it's not crazy painful, just rather uncomfortable, and it's kind of chilly tonight, so the extra warmth is kind of welcome.

Those two comments are unrelated.

Hec -- that's great news about your book! This must mean that it's available again, right? Or will this new thing kill distribution, again? (I have like three people I want to buy copies for -- including myself!)

Personally, I think it's perfectly acceptable to say "No gifts" -- that way you've been clear and it's not your fault if people don't believe you.

Hope everyone had a good Easter. We had unexpectedly beautiful weather and a friend gave me a lovely Easter basket chockful of goodies. I had to brush my teeth to prevent myself from eating more Dove Chocolate Easter Eggs.

so I come into the computer room - to catch up . and I here voices. which freaks me out. Turns out, my computer speakers are picking up some CB's . or else it is those beepbeep phones
