remember we did those stretches while on the cleanse? part deux

the responses to that "how to be a man" from gselevator were extremely negative. like, women reading it interpreted "license to rape" into every single advice bit ("unaccompanied women want you to talk to them? maybe they're strong independent women! and that doesn't give you a license to rape them!"). i would link the article but it's very very stupid. you get the gist anyway.

i changed my goals for the week because morning yoga is not a possibility right now. but i should have time next week for it. ah to be able to get up at 6am not panicked. what a luxury.

i wanted to send you some NY bridge news but 80% of the bridge news in NY is jumpers. you might enjoy this more. of course, that reminded me of this blog and its cool animations and graphics.

thoughts on miss america:

i obviously don't care that miss america is indian. but i thought her answer to her question was abysmal (I always think that about pageant answers though; of course, this one hit closer to home)

"In the interview portion of Sunday's pageant, Davuluri was asked about Chinese-American journalist Julie Chen's decision to have eyelid surgery to advance her career.

"I don't agree with plastic surgery; however, I can understand that from a standpoint," Davuluri said, delivering a noncommittal, diplomatic answer. "But more importantly, I've always viewed a Miss America as the girl next door, and the girl next door is evolving as the diversity in America evolves. She's not who she was 10 years ago, and she's not going to be the same come 10 years down the road. So I wouldn't want to change someone's looks or appearance, but definitely be confident in who you are."

miss california - I don't agree with her answer but it was well-articulated and was probably the right answer for a pageant. also that's a crazy question to get at a pageant.

kinda luv the little introductions they gave themselves near the bottom of the article

this is the best dog:

also his jacket looks cozy. his outfit looks cozy. i could rock that.

responses:

i had no idea that kind of racism still exists. also i would totally quit that sorority if that happened. of course, they probably wouldn't have let me join if that happened.

hugging has always been complicated. =D not for bears and bunnies though.
