I almost linked that an hour ago. I LOVE the part about her geeky mom.
Right? The whole thing is fabulous -- so many great parts! I was especially glad Nikki D got a shout-out, myself....
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think the "make ice cream from human milk" is one of PETA's more clever campaigns. They're pointing out something they consider absurd (humans drinking cow's milk) by proposing something that seems absurd but really isn't (humans drinking human milk).
Granted, they'll get my moo juice out of my cold, dead, hands... but I appreciate their logic.

I was wondering if Ben & Jerry was coming out with Nutty Chocolate Breast flavor or something.
Does Nutty know?

I can't believe Sistine Stallone didn't make the list, along with her (?) brothers (?).

I think I read a blog post by someone who in fact attempted to make ice cream from her breast milk. It didn't work very well, I seem to recall - maybe the fat balance is wrong?

Oh they're on there. With a picture.

Apple comes off as refreshingly pleasant, in that context. I also kind of like Seven. Not that I would name my child either.
Barb, the children were sleeping by the time I got home, so that was good. They were both in Peter's bed, because as Evie explained in the morning, "I knew you would come see him in the night [because he wakes up most nights and I nurse him, yes, still] and you wouldn't come see me [because she blessedly sleeps through] so I decided that if I slept in his bed you would have to come see me." She wasn't wrong! The only mishap was Peter had an unexplained nosebleed. On the plus side they watched Avatar for the first time.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. That's awesome. We know somebody named Seven. I think it was some sort of religious thing, though.
Loved the essay. Fascinating. I think I'll incorporate that story into my lessons on copyright and royalties.
