Art Crawl!!!

I like Freestyle too -- and I've been enjoying this Design, Inc show because they show the design process really well, I think.

Will someone come clean my house for me?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yes! If you pay them. I've just found one that does the ironing too. How cool is that?

Oh, ION, I just discovered that my firm's employees include the world champion bog snorkeller. I feel so proud.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Interesting discussion.

I do worry about attacks on contraception, sexual education, science education, gay rights, and censorship but I don't think that the religious right has been all that successful in those areas.

They've been pretty successful on contraception and sex education, I think. How many school districts still teach sex ed? Kat, Kristin, does LAUSD still teach it? My friend says Santa Monica schools don't. And then there's passing laws to allow pharmacists to not dispense Plan B, even getting people to discuss Plan B as an abortifacient, not contraception, etc.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Heh. I'll have more information on this in a few weeks, since it's what my persuasive essay for school is about (yay, school!), but I do know, from what I've found, that from 1996 to 2006 (IIRC), federal funding for abstinence only programs had quintupled, while the same sort of funding for comprehensive sex-ed has remained the same.

(Still working on sentence structure. I should do that tutorial right about now.)

How was your interview, Aimee?

Burrell, I'm not sure; I'm teaching in private schools out here. The school I'm in now has a great sex ed/health program, but I have no idea if that's typical. I can tell you that the public school system I worked at in CT also had a decent sex ed program, but that's about where my expertise fades into vague mumblemumbleness.

It was GREAT!!!! I really liked the Controller/CFO and he said he really liked me. The company is small and I like that. I'll probably be meeting with the CEO in the next week to ten days.

But can she actually write the paper?
