Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry that I slept later than people on the West Coast this morning. I just stayed up way too late and had nothing on my schedule this morning.
I don't know what the undercooked/raw seafood link to pregnancy is, but with a couple of miscarriages, she might be being extra careful.
There's a risk of parasites in raw fish and meat, but it's also very much a regional/cultural thing. (Pregnant women in Tokyo eat sushi, pregnant women in Paris avoid raw vegetables, etc.)
I find that I'm eating a LOT more foods on the "don't" list the second time around than I was with D. Pretty much the only thing I'm actively avoiding is alcohol.
Happy birthday, msbelle!

The east coast team was very slackerish today. Disappointing, when I needed the internets most. Ah, well. I'm cleaned up and dressed ahead of time, so I can watch half an hour of Supernatural guilt-free and still make it into work on time. Tired like a dog, though. At least I leave work early today.

From: Roger Ebert:
You should be horse-whipped for the insult you have paid to the highest office of our nation.
And it goes on like that.
Thank you all. I am wearing a vintage black and white tiny check shirtwasit dress and rhinestone sparkly earrings.
Work continues to try and beat me down, but I am putting up a fight.
I'm kinda amazed by the text-messaging revolution wrt donations. I mean, that's ideal. It's impulse-driven, allows a person to give incrementally, and give often as emotions are engaged.
The only downside I can see is that, according to the NYT article I just read, it can take up to 90 days for the organizations to actually receive the funds. So giving via web is faster.
I think my future giving will be targeted through Partners in Health. I like that it's run by Haitians, not foreigners, and they operate 10 hospitals that are outside the capital and not damaged by the quake. [link]
If you're not following everything Roger Ebert writes these days, you're missing out. It's both heartbreaking and incredibly uplifting - like he know's he's winding down so he's getting out all the things he wants to say while he can.
And because it deserves its own post, happy birthday msbelle!
I love the descriptions of what you wear. It's inspiring.
Happy birthday, msbelle!
