In Honour of the New Look!

So yeah, I dig the ability to customize things. I might mess with the layout a bit as well, but it's perdy, so there.

Ok, so fitting with the new look of the blog, I think now is a good time to talk about the new Sara Rue Jenny Craig commercial. I tried to find a YouTube vid of it, but had no luck. Basically, the commercial starts out talking about how it's not normal to not have pants that fit properly, or to refuse to leave the house because she "doesn't feel comfortable in her own skin". She's close to tears, and it's really kind of upsetting. Then the camera cuts away and there's skinny new Sara Rue! She's skinny now, and wearing skinny jeans! It's all because of Jenny Craig and she wants to thank them for putting a smile back on her face, and also she thinks it would be a good idea if you gave Jenny Craig some money.

It's Alive! Also, More Babies Talk.

Yeah, I've been inactive for a loooooong ass time. I'm aware. I promise I haven't stopped having loud opinions about stuff. I'm an English major. It's what I do. I've had some shit going down in my personal life (moving, vacations, weddings of friends, quitting my job leading to funemployment in my future), so I've been less concerned with telling the world what I think about it and more concerned with "Sweet Jeebus how am I going to pay my bills etc".

I'm crawling up out of the slime of anonymity and into a conversation you might be surprised by if you know me well. It is a conversation about children. Children and their place in public spaces.
