I can't decide whether I should go to a small conference in Philadelphia in May or a big conference in Chicago in June.

Chicago's nice in June.

Not as explicit a pic of the labia as you might have imagined (but don't show it to your boss anyway).

ahhh, ita and her links.

It's totally clearly labelled.

It looks like an Ewok but it's a Golden Snub-nosed Monkey

Who's a widdle Golden Snub-nosed Monkey? You are! Yes you are!

Teppy, I've been eating instant oatmeal every morning for breakfast. I know it's not the same at the regular oats but are the health benefits worth it?

Chick-Fil-A Banned At Indiana University South Bend

Call it a fried chicken fiasco. Indiana University South Bend cut fast-food chicken patty wonder Chick-fil-A from its list of campus vendors after it was revealed that the restaurant would be supplying food free of charge for anti-gay event.

According to Change.org, the movement to ban Chick-fil-A on campus started with a group of students who came together in opposition of the franchise's support of groups like Focus on the Family and the Ruth Institute.

Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, released a statement in defense of his company, WSBT reports. "Providing food to these events or any event is not an endorsement of the mission, political stance or motives of this or any other organization," he said. "Any suggestion otherwise is just inaccurate."

Fuck you, Dan Cathy.

I don't eat at Chick-fil-A, but now I'm not going to eat there even more.

I do kind of wonder about that kind of thing in general. Walmart gave a ton of money to my (allegedly) lesbian abortionist ex-employer, and I'm pretty sure the conservative world still has no problem with them overall.

Suicide Bomber Done In by Errant Text Message

A bizarre tale out of Moscow on the hazards of being a suicide bomber: A woman intended to blow herself up in Red Square on New Year's Eve and inflict mass casualties, but she received a "Happy New Year" text message that detonated her bomb too early, reports the Telegraph. As a result of the miscue, the blast killed only her.

The newspaper, quoting anonymous Russian security officials, says the woman was at a safe house preparing for the attack when the spam text arrived. Normally, bombers leave their phones off until the last moment, but investigators think the woman got careless. She is believed to be from the same Black Widow group blamed in the recent deadly airport bombing attack in Moscow.

I did not know that about Chick-fil-a. sad now.

Yesterday was gorgeous here and today should be also (70 degrees!). I raked 100 gal of leaves yesterday and planted some bulbs (late, I know). I am hoping to do more of the same today, I have hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils to plant.
