You have to convince the clerk to give you his last five pringles can by giving the clerk commands. Have to admit that I got all 5 cans before an Indian buddy on mine. Maybe? Maybe not

little mouse

got my laptop back from Best Buy last night...still find the "Geek Squad" theme weird. Lab coats and stethescopes look less cultish. anyway...my laptop has audible mechanical noises. i feel the need to cheer it on and leave it alone until it calms down...like my patient last week. maybe it's a little mouse running on a wheel to power this POS. Go little mouse...GO!

3AM thought

i love British House of Commons on C-Span. Love how they stand up and slam the other side. i can't catch stuff tossed to me...like an apple.

DNR for my laptop

My pos laptop sucks and is back at Best Buy with the cultish "Geek Squad." If it doesn't pull through, that's it...Do Not Resuscitate.

Ode to Ipod

O sweet Ipod
How I wish I had thee

To cradle in my arms
Alas, my life is empty

Sin City

Watched Sin City last night. Even in a rinky dink (trashy) theatre, the film was still awesome.

• Amazing.
• Bloody as hell.
• Cheesy at time.
• Like a comic book.

Devon Aoki's role obviously a Tarantino contribution to the film (if you've seen Kill Bill I, II, know that Michelle Yeo woke up in the hospital with Quentin Tarantino at her side, etc you know what I mean) The audience laughed together at times of absurdity. Feckin Grrreat flick.

"LIP MY STOCKINGS. Yes, LIP IT."

How did you get the beans over the frank?

As I was researching the use of EMLA cream (a topical anesthetic) in the pediatric population, I found an article on the use of EMLA on zipper entrapments...

"Zipper entrapment of the penis is one of the most common genital injuries in prepubertal boys...

Zipper entrapment injuries occur infrequently. In one case series from a pediatric emergency department, one zipper entrapment injury occurred per 4000 new emergency department attendees. In this series of 30 boys between the ages of 2 and 12 years of age, 60% of the affected boys were wearing underwear at the time of the injury. Most of the injuries were self-inflicted (84%) and occurred as the zipper was being zipped up as opposed to down (92%). (Joan Bothner, MD )"

Take home message: Watch your way back up!

THE TERRI SCHIAVO CASE IN TEXAS

Apparently, Tom DeLay can pull the plug...

"In 1988, DeLay quietly joined the sad family consensus to let his father die.

"There was no point to even really talking about it," Maxine DeLay, 81, the congressman's mother, recalled in an interview last week. "There was no way he [Charles] wanted to live like that. Tom knew, we all knew, his father wouldn't have wanted to live that way."

Anderson Cooper's Mom is Gloria Vanderbilt

CNN news guy Anderson Cooper is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, whose memoir last year recounted her affairs with Howard Hughes, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Gene Kelly, etc. etc.

Now, in Details magazine, poor Andy writes that "I used to think there was nothing worse than imagining your own parents having sex. I was wrong. You know what's worse? Learning your parents' sex life is more interesting than your own."

Are you a hick?

Ahoy!

What Do Pirates Want From Us?

Planned Parenthood Visibility Event - March 22 - 11:30AM

So for part of my Spring Break, I decided to join Planned Parenthood's "visibility Event" aka peaceful protest in front of Osco Drug on State and Adams. Apparently, a pharmacist refused to fill a prescription for the morning after pill.

Here is the skinny: A pharmacist has the right to refuse filling a prescription. We have the right to file a complaint with the city, I believe. However, Osco or the pharmacy has to have a pharmacist on hand that is willing to fill the prescription OR give the customer info on WHERE to get the prescription filled.

11:30AM - We met at 18 S Michigan with the organizers

11:35AM - Walked over to Adams and State

11:35AM - 12:05PM - Lined up by the store with signs, chanted, and handed out fliers. Media came out took pictures and interviewed participants and Planned Parenthood Action Committee peeps.

Check out the pictures below...

Ortho Tri Cycline...STAT!

There were photographers and news cameras capturing the chanting, posters, and crowd.

We got honks from cars and buses in support or...not in support...of the protest.

Radiator

It's 50 degrees right now in lovely Chicago. Spring. Woohoo! So tell me, why is the radiator in my place of residence actively humming?

Should I?

Should I get an Ipod mini or Ipod 20gig?

Kamusta Ka, capatid

Bling!

Was it wrong...

to allow a man to walk around with a "Banana Republic Denim 34X36" sticker on his leg, as he paraded around Starbucks (Clark & Deming)?

As I violate virgin snow,

He violates winter's virgin eyes...

Um, he's not wearing flesh-toned leggings.

Planned Parenthood

Another pharmacist has refused to fill a prescription for emergency contraception - this time in downtown Chicago.

It's time to educate the consumers of Illinois on this issue. In order to do that, we need to get some attention from the media. To spark their interest, we're staging a large visibility event right in front of the pharmacy where this is occurring.

Join Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area and other groups and individuals as we demonstrate support for access to birth control and emergency contraception (EC).

What: A rally to highlight the importance of access to birth control and emergency contraception
When: Tuesday, March 22 - 11:30 a.m.
Where: Planned Parenthood Administrative Office, 18 S. Michigan Ave., 6th Floor (exact pharmacy location information coming soon)

Holy Land Lamp

This simple lantern is a precise reproduction of the lanterns carried in Jesus' day. Imagine the flickering light of these lanterns reflecting the faces of Jesus' followers as He taught them of the hope that could be found in accepting His Gospel. This precious treasure is filled with fragrance of frankincense, is hand crafted in Jerusalem and is accompanied by a scroll with a special message from Pastor Benny.!

Newsworthy

Really though, who gives a shit about the:

• King of Pop's predilection for little boys?
• Scott Peterson's and his fuck up?
• Camp Cupcake's newest graduate, Martha Stewart
  

TV is uninteresting enough. Bring back Alf.
