I've eaten horse. I didn't know it when it was happening, though, and furthermore I didn't roll in its carcass.
I did totally laugh at the zombie thing. I mean, don't take drugs, people. But he's kinda lucky all he got was hit with a pipe wrench. People out here have guns.
The bees on the elementary school sounds cool.
There's an elementary school in Vermont that switched to solar only power. They installed them last year (I think) and when minimal power is running in the summer they bank the electricity to use the school year. The school is also creating classroom assignments around the solar energy use. I don't have access the news article, but some of the teachers said the students were more interested.
and a Congressman (Welch I think) is trying to get a bill passed that would allow Vermont to buy produce from local farmers here in VT rather than spending the money at the Rhode Island distribution center. The idea is to help the economy and local farmers and to get kids healthier, fresher food and hopefully spend less on transportation costs.
Which sounds like no down sides, but there were a few cranky comments in the paper when the article ran.
good luck with the interview, JenP!
Interview~ma, Jen!
The Grey's/Private Practice combo generally makes me at least cry a little, between the Alzheimer's in the one and the wanting to have a baby before it's too late in the other.
I never got into Private Practice. The other problem with Grey's Anatomy and the Spina Bifida storyline is the general wrongness of all of it, which makes it hard to watch.
Good luck, Jen!
Amy reminds me that I have to book my discounted massage soon (won one for $20 off); it's only good through the end of the year.
A Spina Bifida storyline in my mindless television is a bit too much for me.
That's pretty much a given for medical shows, isn't it? I mean, they're never going to get it right, and eventually they're going to hit something close to home. Fuck, right now it seems like every second IO9 mention of disease is cancer, and every second of those is colon cancer, and I just can't look. Makes me long for the days of chronic pain and migraines. Much easier to handle.
Good luck, Jen!
Holli, Mr. Flowersocks sounds wonderful.

Part of why I only watch supernatural-themed TV. And why I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to a certain MCR song again.
