This Labor Day I’d like to honor Ruby Duncan who stormed Caesar’s palace and fought for welfare rights in my hometown, Las Vegas. It is because of her that needy families in the valley can lead healthy lives and get help when they need it most. Thank you, Ruby!
I may be taking this too personally, but this is the current bug up my butt: I am tired of the paradigm that very talented and intelligent women on TV have to be shut-the-front-door beautiful and run around urban cities in stilettos. I mean, who does that? It’s almost like the writer/producer/whoever-in-charge is validating these [...]
My mom gave in to the deep brown eyes and shiny bald head of Montel and bought his Health Master mixer. It is HUGE. I’ve yet to try out yet, though. So, in the spirit of eating healthy, I borrowed “The Food You Crave” by Ellie Krieger. She hosts Healthy Appetite on Food Network. In [...]
via nordictrack.com I hate treadmills. The name just makes me think of gerbils’ futile efforts. I saw a commercial today for the NordicTrack X7I which let’s you program your run based on a geographical areas terrain using Google Maps.

It didn’t win but it really used the inner potato sackness to great effect. There’s an element of fantasy with the petaled skirt, sort of like [...]
via feministing.com Ann on Feministing posted this neato picture of Steve Jobs holding up the iPad, which sounds suspiciously like a feminine hygiene product. But the iPad doesn’t come with wings, so boo on Apple for that! Here is the problem with not doing user testing or doing bad user testing: you come out with [...]
Every once in awhile I like to lose myself in a series of sci-fi or fantasy novels. First it was Roald Dahl, then Lord of the Rings, then Harry Potter. I read Harry Potter over and over again until the seventh book finally came out. On the hunt for a new adventure, I came across [...]
via hulu.com In this episode, Leslie has to prove that she did not have an affair with a councilman and the office misses her when she has to lay low for the media frenzy. When the first season aired, the writers were really harsh on Leslie. No one liked her and everything she touched turned [...]
