So my boss, not worried about the meeting? Totally told me it should have gone down differently afterwards. Dude, I was plumbing you for that information beforehand!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Have you been getting my tumblr submissions at all, Jesse?
I think so? The queue has been pretty full... You sent the pet owl and "Fuck You," right? Those are both coming up tomorrow.
Nonian, is there any specific ethnic group to look for? I am not finding anything using "Darfuri". Edit - I am guessing the Fur people?
I had half a banana with my breakfast.
OMG, I just got invited to and uninvited from a work get-together.
Okay, I wasn't going to go, and a bunch of people got uninvited, but how embarrassing to send it out to a mass of people by mistake!
And some high level people got uninvited too.

I just found that I have a tumblr post with 207 notes. How did I not know that?
Do the tomato chunks in my lunch chili count as fruit?
I'm looking for a reputable source (as in, not Wikipedia) that would support the idea that the government in Khartoum used to (pre-2003) forcibly recruit Darfuris into their Army to fight against Southern Sudan and that the North focused their forced recruitment efforts on Darfur because they didn't like the Darfuris for some reason.
Considering that there's an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court against the president for genocide against the non-Arab ethnic groups, it doesn't seem much of a stretch.
Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times has written extensively about Darfur and is something of an activist. He's responsive in his blog, and I think there's a decent chance that he'd help if you contacted him about this case.
flea - anything with Habania also spelled Habanya or Al-Habania, would be really helpful.
eta: Ginger, I got some really great stuff from Kristof. He actually had a Q&A with himself and Pres. Carter on there yesterday that I am using.
