I had these tabs open and didn't want to close them OR post, apparently.
Do you live in Richmond, Va? Do you like excellent deals?
A small literary journal. I find them amusing.
One of my favorite movies is an independent film called "Expiration Date." This is a video on the director's website. I'd give you more information, but I haven't gotten around to watching the whole thing yet.
And this is today's, or yesterday's if you want to be really technical. A website that will take your design and print it on fabric for you.
Also, here's an article on misleading headlines, with regards to a recent set of articles on formula/early introduction of solids vs. exclusive breastfeeding. Rather interesting for the investigation of blatant and deliberate misinformation in headlines, even if you aren't interested in infant and maternal health.
Lastly, I've been meaning to listen to this NPR interview with Billie Joe Armstrong for days, and it needs to be off my desktop for reals.

Things from this weekend:
A most excellent blog about momming which I saw linked...somewhere. Possibly the Heather Cushman-Dowdee facebook page?
I don't want to come across as, and more importantly, don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I do have some trouble swallowing some of the things that come out of the mouths of medical practitioners. And then, look! An article by a doctor on how doctors sometimes get misinformation from biased or outdated studies! Well imagine that. I will say that I find the article title rather obnoxious and off-putting, but please give it a chance.*
There is a website that sells tomato-scented things! Like cologne! And room spray! And bodywash! How could I ever have doubted that life was worth living? (They have tomato-seed scent, as well. I think I might have died and gone to heaven sometime this afternoon. I want this one too. Apples and geraniums? Yes, please.
This video makes a good point. These stories have all** been "Disneyfied" to remove such offensive themes as murder-by-rape and suicide and heartbreak and all that, and mostly that's okay with me. You can't really remove a lot of this stuff, though, without removing the story from the story. So:
Disclaimer: I love Disney. Also, sarcasm. But I'm not being sarcastic about loving Disney.
*I... haven't finished reading it. I keep getting sidetracked. Thus far, though, it's good.
**I am referring, of course, to the Disney princess canon.
