11:01 pm [Link]	ok, i just saw one of the most offensive things i've ever seen on a news show. absolutely unbelievable. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4725121&page=1 watch the video. EDIT: god, the more i think about it, the more upset i get. i thought we were at least slightly past this kind of stereotyping... Tags: "news", argh (5 croaks \| Ribbit)

01:59 pm [Link]	debunking there are a few arguments against public healthcare that i just don't understand. 1. public health care will mean LONG waits for treatment. i don't know about everyone else, but when i schedule an appointment with anyone besides my family practitioner, i'm lucky to get one that's only 2 weeks away. usually, there's a month-long wait to see any kind of specialist. 2. public health care will be run by BUREAUCRATS! booga booga! one of my obgyns in the distant past decided that i had insulin resistance, even though there was barely any indication of it. cigna, my quality health insurance provided through my employer, considers insulin resistance to be type II diabetes. since cigna knows everything about my private health records, they started calling me every few weeks to make sure i was TAKING MY PILLS. if that isn't intrusion on my private life by a bureaucrat, i don't know what is.

04:24 pm [Link]	bleah. well, it's official. i'm home sick. it's not that bad. really just a cold. but i don't want to get anyone at the office sick. so i'm sitting here, eating ramen noodles, and snorting. i'd love to be out working on my car, but it's just not the same if i'm feeling miserable :P i'm supposed to be doing some work, but i'll probably put it off until the last minute, knowing me. btw, i've tentatively scheduled my top surgery to be around the 4th of july. i'm terrified O_O Current Mood: sick (2 croaks \| Ribbit)

05:46 pm [Link]	it hasn't occurred to me until just now, but has anyone wondered if this whole rihanna/brown thingy was just a publicity stunt? i'd never heard of either of them before, but now even my MOM knows who they are. EDIT: just in case i was confusing anyone, i do not think it is at all likely that this was in fact a publicity stunt. the only reason i bring it up is because my mother said that she had never heard of either of them before all this happened. if anyone thought that i was actually suggesting that i thought rihanna would get herself beaten as a cool new way to gain fans, then you don't know me very well.

11:08 pm [Link]	update ok, first, the story: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/21/bush-visits-dallas-hardware-store-jokes-applying-job/ here's my mom, her ex business partner, and some other guy. mom and elliot's hardware are linked from a long way back. she sold a business to them, which they turned into a section in their store. they've sponsored her radio show. her ex-business partner works for them now. etc etc. i go to elliot's often. funny thing is that it's in the gay part of town. my queer youth group center is about a block down the road.

01:37 pm [Link]	well, the economy has arrived... my company is owned by a large news company. we just got a letter from the ceo that every employee is going to take a forced 10-day vacation without pay over the next 9 months. we were surprised to get raises at the end of last year... i guess this is how we got them. it'll be ok... it's basically taking back my raise, and i was comfortable on last year's pay amount. i don't think it's really fair that our company is being included in this, because we're very busy and profitable. but i guess it's better than having to lay off parts of the parent company.
