The original word for "hungover" is "crapulous." →
herosquad: caro: nickdouglas: It dates back to the 1530s. This should come in handy. Not joking: 1530s, “sick from too much drinking,” from L. crapula, from Gk. kraipale “hangover, drunken headache, nausea from debauching.” The Romans used it for drunkenness itself. English has used it in both senses. This is going into my vocabulary starting now.

First video with the Flip. This may not be of interest to anyone other than my family, but it was fun to make. Welcome to rural Ohio, where everyone has a “finished basement,” chip-and-dip and popcorn balls count as a meal, a blind diabetic dog wanders around aimlessly, families down test tube shots and my mom tells really, really terrible jokes. PS. Yes that is Grandma modeling a new...

– Here’s the thing: teenagers are sexual. They just are, despite the many powerful cultural messages which tell them not to be. And, for teenage girls, in particular, sexuality is a minefield, given that all the images they see of “sexual women” consist only and entirely of their sexuality, and the...

It's that time
In the spirit of self-reflection and inspired by Meg’s awesome year, here’s me revisiting my ’09 goals and looking forward to next year…. How’d I do on my 2009 goals: -Blog and write more outside of my job, seek more freelance work A handful of times, but basically, no. -Not get laid off from aforementioned blogging job Success. -Start running again Fail, thanks to my knees. -Give up eating out...

newsweek: This investigative piece from the AP on Monsanto is earnest, thorough and fascinating, if a bit long. A taste: With Monsanto’s patented genes being inserted into roughly 95 percent of all soybeans and 80 percent of all corn grown in the U.S., the company also is using its wide reach to control the ability of new biotech firms to get wide distribution for their products, according to a...

I kinda want to say this for Jezebel and all the other kneejerk freaker-outers out there. I don’t love the Snookie Gets Clocked .gif because I love seeing a chick get punched by a dude, or I think that she had it comin’. I like it because it is SHOCKING, ok? Only the most fucked-up person would watch this and claim it is merely a dose of “equality” in a post-feminist world,...

I love list
I am a bit of a connoisseur of  ‘to do’ lists (what disorganized procrastinator isn’t?) and am peeing my pants over Google Tasks. They blow MS Office Tasks out of the water and they’re going to Change. My. Life. They pop up as Gchat windows! Where I will actually pay attention! Seriously. I put things like “shower” and “make breakfast” on my lists. For some reason I think if there are more...
