For all you environmental foodies

I found a new favorite website! It's PickYourOwn.org; they help you locate farms in your area, provide hints and advice to picking your own produce, give canning advice and more! I'm hoping to locate a farm in my new area so I can stuff my face with blackberries. Mmmmmm. produce.....

Oh, and here's another goodie: LocalHarvest.org; they can also direct you to farms, provide information about farmers markets in your area, provide blogs with related material, and tons and tons of info on organic and environmentally friendly foods.

Stupid NFL

Ugh. They're not only letting Vick play, but he's been signed to the Eagles. This whole situation makes me sick. I'm not for public humiliation, but I really hope he gets booed out of every game. It's one thing to be cruel to another human-at least we can say "no", try to fight back, or get help. But an animal? They can't stop the torment. They can't say no. They can't remove themselves from the situation. I guess my anger is two-sided. First, that the NFL didn't put a lifetime ban on the guy. Second, that there were at least two teams who wanted him: the Eagles, and the Bengals. So many people (particularly children) idolize athletes-I know I did. I was a HUGE Bulls fan in the early 90's; Micheal Jordan was kind of my hero, even though I never played basketball. The NFL is screwing with the kids by providing them a good athlete who's a horrible person. He's done horrible things, and yet they're putting him in a position to influence the youth. There are going to be a lot of confused children out there not understanding what's right and wrong because there wasn't proper punishment for the wrong committed. It's bad enough Brittany Spears is back in the spotlight to be idolized; but at least she never killed anything.

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well, I wanted to formally announce that my hair is gone! I unfortunately can't take photos since I haven't gotten around to replacing my camera, but I measured my locks, and Locks of Love will be receiving a 15.5 inch donation from my scalp in the mail. I'll try and get a camera before I get an envelope, so I can photo my amazing former locks. As for my new haircut? I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like this:

verily, things move

I have three boxes left lurking in my halls. And way to many books lining my floors. But other than that, Half Pint and I are moved in! The neighbors are friendly (maybe a little hippie on one side of the street), the area's nice, there's a park down the street. Now I just need to stop by a bike shop or find a bike on my local freecycle community, chop off my hair to donate, and wrestle down my rotations. I've already spoken to two professors, and both are available and have space. One has funding at the moment, the other is working on it. Unfortunately, I have some choices to make. There are five people I'd like to rotate with, but only three rotation spots. Oi. Oh, and I still need a printer. Gar! And I just found out the school gyms and pools are all closed until the 31st. WAAAA! No working out for me....looks like I'll have to take it to the streets, Rocky style. ADRIAN!!!!!!!! :D

I BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!
