Floyd Landis nd others have called for legalization of blood doping. Is it really that different than all the crazy biomechanics based traing that goes on now? Or the athletes who train extensively at high altitudes to get an oxygen boost when they race at sea level? Another step along, sure, but not like taking steroids. And stamping it out pushes people to ever more dangerous substances.
I don't know the ins and outs of it myself; the question I'd ask is, does it pose a significant health risk? If so, then I'm good with it being banned. If not, then I don't see a problem. (I think it raises blood pressure or such like. Whether dangerously so, I don't know.)
A republican on my friends list just posted about how the left wing believes any lie the liberal media throws at them--and that we should calm down because Romney isn't the conservative that everyone is claiming he is.
*facepalm* Not a word on the fact that his party calls Obama a secret Muslim Kenyan Marxist.
Timelies all!
Ah, the old "liberal media". Excuse me while I laugh bitterly.
Oh good LORD. My mother and I were supposed to go get our nails done this morning, but now she has to take my grandmother to the hospital, so I guess I'm going to get the mani-pedi, because we would pay for it regardless? That just doesn't feel right. And of course I missed her call by 5 minutes in the shower, and she doesn't have her cell phone on. OY.
I mean, it doesn't feel right that I'll be getting my nails done while they are taking my grandmother to the hospital, not that it doesn't feel right to have to pay if I cancel the appointment 45 minutes out, in case that wasn't clear.
Her heart, I guess. I hope they are bringing her to my local hospital, but don't actually know. Argh, turn on your phone, mom!!
Jesse, do your thing. Keep accessible by phone--but go get your mani pedi and keep trying to call your mother. Interrupt it in the middle if you need to, rather than cancel outright if you don't know anything.
Hec--I need examples of women with buzzcut Sigourney/Salvail/Natalie Portman after V hair. Gimme your files, pictures 500px and bigger.
What ita said, Jesse. Sitting around brooding and wondering at home isn't going to get anything accomplished.
Salvail
Who's that?
I just saw a picture of someone else with a shaved head, and it took me a minute to figure out who it was. And now, of course, I can't remember. I thought it was Natalie Portman, but it wasn't. Shoot.

Okay. Gimme a little time to cull and make sure I've got high enough resolution for you and I'll send you a dropbox link to a zip file or some such.
Is this for your personal reference or is Provocateuse branching out to address my needs?
