Guitar Hero II For 360 Extra Tracks, Hands On
Zonk posted more than 7 years ago | from the i-need-to-tie-my-shoe dept.66
The upcoming release of Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 has fans of the unique rhythm game very much excited. Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs blog has a look at the additional songs that are to be included with the release. They also point out that downloadable tracks will be available right away at launch, with more slated for later this year. For some hands on impressions of the new version of this old favorite, Chris Kohler over at Game|Life can help us out: "I'll just stick with this version of GHII when it ships in March. It'll contain ten new songs, five of which were announced today (below) and two of which will have to be unlocked. But the real draw is the possibility of downloadable songs later. They're coming, but they haven't been announced yet. I've always said that this is the kind of microtransaction I wholeheartedly support. Well, depending on how much the tracks cost, I mean. As long as they're still microtransactions and not macrotransactions, Activision and I are good."

As we, the Caniacs, sit in May watching the playoffs without our dear Storm playing for the 5th straight year, many questions are being asked about players who seemed invincible in years past. We saw fan-favorites like Tuomo Ruutu and Tim Gleason get traded, while other players' dedication and motivation were questioned, including Cam Ward and Eric Staal, the last remaining players from the 2006 cup team.
Eric Staal, in particular, was highly doubted toward the end of this past season. His point total for 2013-14 was 61, compared to last year's lockout shortened 53, and the prior year's 71. So, he has faltered in production, but not enough to be calling for his head in the manner that many of the Hurricanes faithful are.
The main reason he was placed on the chopping block for the better part of the season was because of his visible lack of motivation. He stopped backchecking, his line changes were as nonchalant as they come, and races to the puck were never his to win.
And that may be because his knee injury from the World Championship's last summer was acting up, or there may have been something personally he was dealing with, but it was obvious that he was no longer the Eric Staal that was once leading this team in pretty much everything.
Of course, he still led the team in points last season, which is scary, considering how many people saw him fall off a bit . Not even Jeff Skinner or the enigma himself, Alexander Semin, passed Staal in points. But the question of the day is, do we really want a captain who is going to give up like Staal did?
The answer is no. We don't want that captain. But we need Eric Staal. He is one of the best players to ever put on the Hurricanes uniform, and it's time for him to return to form. In his exit interview, he said he has heard the criticisms of his play and no matter what anyone thinks, he is still here to play. That act alone answered my questions of his captaincy.
Eric Staal should and will be the captain of the Carolina Hurricanes. But he needs to be better; he and everyone involved with the team knows that. I strongly believe he can wake up without taking away his "C", and IMO, it would do so much more harm than good to remove him as captain.
Everyone is going to struggle. It's inevitable. Eric Staal has struggled. But it's time for him to come back to form, and for him to do that we all need to have some faith in him. He's earned at least that. He belongs as captain of this team, and he will lead them into the playoffs again.

Banner Churchill now using new fuel-efficient Mercedes Benz ambulance
FALLON, NV (Aug. 20, 2014) — Banner Churchill Community Hospital's Emergency Medical Service, or EMS, is doubling its gas mileage and is on its way to saving up to $9,000 a year thanks to the newest ambulance in its fleet.
This summer, EMS hit the road saving lives and saving fuel with a new Mercedes Benz Sprinter ambulance. The new emergency vehicle is smaller than the current Freightliner ambulances EMS currently uses, but they get much better gas mileage – 18 to 19 miles to the gallon with a 6-cylinder diesel engine, versus 9.25 mpg which the Freightliners are getting.
"It's not about the fact that it's a Mercedes Benz," said Banner Churchill Emergency Medical Services Senior Manager Dave Lane. "But rather it's about the reputation behind them – the reliability, the durability and the less-expensive maintenance costs."
Banner Churchill Community Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Rob Carnahan said over the life of the ambulance, which is about six years, the hospital can save more than $50,000 on fuel alone.
The ambulance crew transports patients to Reno and will use this smaller, more efficient vehicle for those trips. "Because we make those road trips, we can take advantage of the better fuel economy," Carnahan said. "We wanted to have that tool in our belt." More urban areas are turning to the smaller ambulances because they also maneuver better in traffic.
Carrying the famous three-pointed Mercedes Benz star logo on the front might make people think big bucks, but Carnahan said that isn't the case. Buying this vehicle actually cost less than purchasing another full-size ambulance - $90,000 for the new Mercedes Benz ambulance versus $225,000 for one of the Freightliner ambulances.
Now that the new Sprinter ambulance has been fully licensed and has been in operation, Banner Churchill's emergency responders now have four ambulances currently in use.
About Banner Churchill Community Hospital
Banner Churchill Community Hospital, opened at its current location in 1996 and is a part of Banner Health, a nonprofit healthcare system with 25 hospitals in seven states. It offers acute and primary care, including comprehensive Emergency care with an ambulance service that covers more than 5,900 square miles.

The Underworld Service - track notes
The next English Heretic release, The Underworld Service is due for release at the end of August. Over 70 minutes of new music. The Underworld Service is a holiday in Hades. It subverts the bouffant intellect of Melvyn Bragg culture and celebrates the hard hitting documentary investigations of World In Action. The Underworld in our vision doubles as an hermetic process. We look at the eschatological warnings of the fabled alchemist Fulcanelli and follow his trail from a church in London to the irradiated coasts of Suffolk. The living dead are unearthed in the beautiful limestone ravines of the Peak district and traced to their necromantic origins in the Black Temples of Atlantis. We bathe in the enolic mornings of Malcolm Lowry, Under The Volcano, inside a giant mausoleum. Informed by the work of James Hillman, English Heretic undertake a series of Katabases: ritual descents and movements towards the seas of the unconscious.
Musically, we scan a waveband of Corpse Oriented Rock, Philosophical Stoner, Field Trip Hop, Horror Folk and Funereal Disco . Radio broadcast from Tartarus, no matter what station you tune into, where every song, news report and culture show reminds you of your own mortality and the hermetic ciphers embedded in pop culture. Music genre as a form of word play, honouring the cabalistic punning tradition of Fulcanelli.
Inside The Mausoleum
In honour of the katabatic alcoholic tragedy of Malcolm Lowry. The track began with an improvisation carried out inside De Grey's mausoleum near Clophill in Hertfordshire. It's my argument that fictions should start at the point of death. Lowry's Under The Volcano is an example par excellence of this process. The track evolves into an evocation of an hermetic journey, a paean to the universal solvent of inebriated lyricism. The situationists paid homage to Lowry by carrying a series of psychedelically informed derives to the Paris suburb of Sarcelles. They were high on mescalin at the time. Sarcelles by a curious coincidence was the location of the alchemist Fulcanelli's legendary transmutation in 1922.
River Of Black Rams Blood
Kereyni's description of Hades re-imagined as the main theme to a Greek horror film. The track was composed from snippets of "Land of the Minotaur" theme together with field recordings from a corpse road at Walsham Le Willows in Suffolk. As I recorded the church bell peels, a child could be heard playing on a swing in a neighbouring garden. The creaking of the swinging was oddly melodic and when processed back in the studio created a perfect imitation of a folk rock flute riff. Vocal wise, Alan Vega or Andrew Eldritch (depending on your critical angle) down the Greek discotheque backed by an ageing English Lit. Professor – the types you'd meet on an horrific Mediterranean holiday.
The Pherenikos
Philosophical Stoner Rock: in which we tackle the ancient veneration of the severed head in the figure of the Gorgon contrasting feminine tenderness with US servicemen's abuse of VietCong in the process of trophy skull adornment. The track that exposes heavy riffs whilst also considering serious gender issues encompassing religion, war and masculinity.
The Alchemist Of Saltdean
An extract from an interview with south coast hermeticist - Haunted Shoreline
Field Trip Hop - the predatory cousin of Fleetwood Mac's Albatross - A setting for a reading from J.A. Baker's shamanic nature book, The Peregrine.
Video Anxieties
This forms part of the research I've being doing into constructing a private inner cinema. The track is an attempt to remap the locale of zombie Horror flick – Living Dead At Manchester Morgue. This infamous video nasty set bizarrely enough in the Peak District, gives the film a gory beauty. Our interpretation is folk horror soundtrack part documentary of a vaguely anxious travel guide, the dialogue abstracted from Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue – to recast the script as a paranoid holiday outing. A sinister documentary element is added by an Italian voice over reading an extracts from Kenneth Grant's Nightside of Eden, In Nightside Grant makes the claim that the Altantean Priesthood employed sexual necromancy in their the creation of zombies. Hardcore horror and hardcore occultism meet in the mid 70s.
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Horror folk. The song is a traditional Derbyshire ballad concening the infamous Winnat's Pass Murders. Sound affects are taken from Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue, of the zombies' curious gurgling sound. Director George Grau based the sounds of the zombies on his memory of hearing his own father's death rattle.
Transmutation At Sizewell B
The Greek concept of the Katabasis – a ritual descent – can also mean a journey toward the sea. The track is derived from recordings made during a serendipitous katabatic journey toward the Suffolk coast. The journey began at the infamous Blythburgh church (where the devil is said to have visited in the middle ages). While there, we recorded a local choir were rehearsing Office Of The Dead. We then drove to Sizewell B and recorded the ambience, to be later processed into an imaginary geiger counter sound. The lyrics come from the final chapter of Fulcanelli's Mystery Of Cathedrals. Mystery of Cathedrals is an alchemical warning against the misuse of atomic chemistry. Most curiously, opposite the entrance to Sizewell B, is a pub called the Fulcan Arms. The pseudonym Fulcanelli is thought to be derived from the name for the Roman God of fire and forge – Vulcan.

Invisible Canon
The piece began with two field recording on a visit to Hiroshima. The first, the sound of the thousands of cicadas near the ruin of the Atomic Dome, the closest surviving building left standing after the bomb. The second field recording taken on video on my Cannon camera was of myself striking the peace bell.
The piece includes the choir of Gyuto monks. This was inspired by a dream recounted in Michael Horwitz Hill's book Dreaming the End of the World in which one of his subjects experiences a nightmare where sound of B52 bombers has been replaced by a choir Gyuto monks.
For the structure of the piece, I wanted to create a track in the style of apocalyptic DJ Shadow - DJ 'Falls The' Shadow - a reflection on an incredible exhibit in the Peace Museum at Hiroshima. The museum contains the steps of a local bank with the shadow of a body, evaporated during the explosion: the most haunting and violent sculpture, one can imagine.
Operation Wandering Soul
The early 70s as the underworld, a report on the documentary roots of Apocalypse Now. A homage to ITV's World In Action and its expose of rebellion in the ranks of U.S grunts and the use of sound warfare to create imaginary Viet Cong ghosts. Operation Wandering Soul was conceived in the echo chambers of the US military.
The Underworld Service
A unique new music service: English Heretic Music Thanatology ®. The first prototype will be used on the death bed of English Heretic. We have identified a market for a more edgey listener who would like something more terrifying than the platitudinous harps of conventional Music Thanatology practices.

Riverside, 1 Mowbray St.
I'll be playing at this wyrd folk night at The Riverside, in Sheffield. It's part of a series of monthly events put on by the Heretics' Folk Club. The aesthetic I dig very much.
Commission For The Liverpool International Music Festival
English Heretic have kindly been invited by the LIMF and The Quietus to contribute to a project commission called Minor Characters. For more details on this fascinating concept - which I am delighted to be part of - go over to the festival site.
The character is a very EH figure and has serendipity would have it, was someone in some form I had wanted to commemorate since the project's inception.

Death To Fascist Insect That Preys Upon The Blood Of The People!
In the liner notes to Anti-Heroes I explained the conceit for the remixed extract of Plan For The Kidnap Of Princess Anne that appeared on the album. The remix was called The Mallian Timeslip as a nod to the Phil Dickian nature of what I perceived to be Ian Ball's cosmic paranoia. The addition of sparse drum machine and Floydian guitars was to re-imagine the track as the off kilter attempt of some out of touch prog rocker to get down with the kids – a spaced out anarchist protest song. In terms of the song's languid structure, I was very much thinking of Peter Gabriel's Biko - I song (and sentiment) I love, and as a child Biko's death left a big impression on me. He died a few days before my 9th birthday. I was an avid radio listener as a kid and I still remember the news reports. Weirdly, Biko's death also fused in my memory with Marc Bolan's death - which happened a few days later, on my 9th birthday. These morning radio news items remain burned into the valves of the hippocampal transistor.
Since writing those liner notes, I've discovered an interesting connection between Ian Ball and Steve Biko, as well as some strange insinuations regarding the kidnap that suggest Ball was a cog in a grand master plan to initiate World War 3. As for my original assertion - that Ian Ball was a paranoid schizophrenic embroiled in a fantasy of revolution - I am not so sure now! The red sands of Martian conspiracy seem to be shifting beneath my feet, revealing a delirious sub plot in which I am not so sure of my own role.
It turns out that Ian Ball was defended by Sir David Napley, a very high profile "celebrity solicitor" of the 60s and 70s. Napley, as is perhaps is normal with solicitors, had a curiously ambivalent resume. He defended the Rolling Stones against their drug charges in the 60s, a London gallery for exhibiting nude photographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and most famously Liberal party leader Jeremy Thorpe in his trial for the conspiracy to murder Thorpe's lover Norman Scott. If ever Alan Moore's League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen needed a solicitor to defend themselves in some hideous occultural miscarriage of justice, then I would recommend Napley. However, Napley also appears to have been a champion of the underdog and the less attractive defence case, of which Ian Ball must be included. He defended Jeremy Bamber, who, in common with Ball, still protests his innocence via an obsessive website hosted behind the firewall of a high security prison. And most serendipitously, given the conceit of the track on "Anti-Heroes", Napley served as an independent witness into the inquest of Steve Biko. His report was instrumental in laying the blame on the South African police; Napley concluded, "I was left in no doubt Mr Biko died as a result of brain injury inflicted on him by one or more unidentified member of Security Police."
Just to seal Napley's credentials as the perfect participant in some wild forensic metafiction, he also worked on a miscarriage of justice case from 1967, involving a Newcastle gangland killing, by two Londoners - Dennis Stafford and Michael Luvaglio. The crime centred around the syphoning of profits from one arm bandit fruit machines. Stafford and Luvaglio traveled from London to kill one Angus Sibbett, who had been robbing from machines, set up in Newcastle nightclubs, by London "business" men. Sibbett's bullet ridden body was discovered in the boot of an MK 10 Jag. If the crime sounds like an underworld cliche, it is because the case provided the basis for Ted Lewis' book Jack's Return Home which was made into the film Get Carter. But not content with dipping into the murky world of pulp archetypes, Napley's career extends as far was the icy waters of the Illuminati. He worked for the family of Roberto Calvi, God's Banker, whose assisted suicide still haunts the stanchions of Blackfriars Bridge, in London. Two images fuse: Get Carter – Michael Caine pursued over the high level bridge by henchmen in their doorless red Jag, and the police photographs of Roberto Calvi on the deck of Blackfriars, pockets laden by Masonic stones.
"St. Peter's not very happy about his car, he's going to shit all over you."
|Angus Sibbett, clearly a big man and out of shape
|Roberto Calvi, St. Peter's not very happy.
And if you're feeling unnatural pangs of sympathy for this champion of justice, Napley also defended General Pinochet - moral compass out of control...
Where this legal jackanory starts to get even stranger is when we get back to Ian Ball. In the booklet for English Heretic's last release, Mondo Paranoia, I discuss the hoaxed missing chapter from William Manchester's Death Of The President. This infamous hoax was published in the deeply subversive magazine The Realist. This magazine became a primary vehicle for the fascinating work of one Mae Brussell. Brussell is an example par-excellence of what I was trying to highlight in Mondo Paranoia: that the assassination of Kennedy was like some traumatic occult event that appeared to awaken a paranoiac pineal gland, and enabled certain folk to insight a frightening and amorphous new reality. It certainly seemed to serve that purpose for Mae Brussell: it is stated in her biographical notes that the,
"Complacent Beverly Hills housewife Mae Brussell had quite an awakening in 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated, and again when she read and cross-indexed the massive 26-volume Warren Commission Hearings. She saw that the international terrorist network that had made up the Axis powers during World War Two had gone underground and continued their world-wide fascist campaign, overthrowing one country after another. America was not exempt."
Brussells' C.V. reads like a cross between a cookie baking homemaker and an industrial culture Nostradamus:
* On May 29, 1968 she confronted Rose Kennedy at Monterey Peninsula Airport, handing her a note telling her that Robert Kennedy would soon be assassinated. A week later he was executed by Sirhan Sirhan.
* Two weeks before Patty Hearst was kidnapped, she addressed a Syracruse Univeristy audience informing them that the Symbionese Liberation Army's murder of school superintendent Marcus Foster was the beginning of a terror and psychological sabotage campaign, orchestrated by the government, and similar to that instigated in Nazi Germany during the 1930s.
* In August 1977, discussing the recent relocation of Jim Jones' move to Guyana, she speculated that it might be a training camp for assassination teams.
If Napley was a forensic everyman of some countercultural yarn, then Brussell was its prophetess.
The Symbionese Liberation Army was much the focus of Brussell's obsessions. In 1974, she wrote an article for The Realist in which she laid out the argument that the SLA was in fact the CIA, or rather ,a fictional terrorist group set up by the CIA to bring a fascist revolution in the United States. It's a frightening theory, especially for one cooked up by a once complacent Beverly Hills housewife. Analysing the kidnap of Patty Hearst, Brussell lays out the elaborate project of the fabricated SLA:
"The end goal of the SLA – World War III – is to plunge the Third World masses into starvation and slavery. We have accomplished this through the CIA in 77 countries. The Third World inside the United States is the next selected victim."
Then most incredibly, Brussell brings Ian Ball into the equation stating,
"Every kidnapping since February 4, 1974, should be carefully investigated. The kidnappings may be real, but the circumstances surrounding them are questionable.
The Secret Service, for the first time in U.S. history, presented an award outside the United States. It is no surprise this was delivered to Inspector James Beaten, the man who was wounded March 30 [sic] when Ian Ball was supposed to "kidnap" Princess Anne.
Was there any relationship between this altercation and the earlier abduction of Patricia Hearst? The Secret Service knows the answer. Were they acting accordingly, apologizing for a near victim in a provocateur-inspired event?"
So Brussell makes the fantastic insinuation: that Ball was a patsy or a brainwashed agent for a secret service operation on foreign land, and the copper inadvertently caught in the crossfire received an award from the United States as a covert apology!
And what of Princess Anne? If Ian Ball's kidnap been successful and, if it was an operation based on the blueprint of the Patty Hearst case, would Princess Anne later have appeared on the security cameras of a branch of Lloyd's Bank - presumably on horseback - yelling at the tellers and brandishing an AK47. Would she later appear on some pirate radio broadcast intoning the paradoxical mantra of SLA leader, Donald DeFreeze, "Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the blood of the people!"
I would sincerely like to think so.
In trying to retain a rational perspective on of all this, it's probably worth pointing out the following clipping from an American Daily on March 23rd 1974, in which the kidnap of Princess Anne appears on the same page as news coverage of Patty Hearst.
Finally, let us apply William Burroughs' technique for the paranoid reading of newspapers, which entailed scanning across the page so that the unrelated news items would fuse to reveal a new narrative... Cut across reality and future conspiracies leak through. The headlines, cut across, read thus:
"Army Guards Hearst Kidnap Message: 'Probably Royal Family'"

Oh Xiurell And I'll Come To You
I've been looking at various mermaid myths recently and while doing this, started looking at references in Robert Graves' "The White Goddess". I am not sure how widely disseminated this is, but thought it worth sharing. Anyhow it's very interesting to me, being Suffolk based (where M.R. James based 'Oh Whistle'), and offers some intriguing connections between M.R. James, Graves, as well as further interpretations of the story, and some nice cinematic doubling.
To summarise, in a chapter of "The White Goddess", called "Gwion's Heresy", Graves discusses winnowing feast mysteries and makes mention of a Majorcan artefact of this harvest festival. It is called the xiurell, and is a white clay whistle, decorated in red and green. The whistle is handmade and cast in various shapes such as a mermaid, a coiled serpent, or a full skirted woman rocking her baby in her arms. According to Graves the whistle figured in an ecclesiastical festival that took place on 12th of September. The festival entailed the villagers of Bonanova, near Palma, perambulating up the hill, presumably blowing these whistles. The object of the whistle, posits Graves, "must originally have been to induce the North-East winnowing winds which, according to the local almanack, begin to blow at this season and which at the end of the month summons rain clouds from the Atlantic Ocean to soak the winter wheat planted earlier in the month."
Graves says that the mermaid, locally called a 'siren', evidently represents Aphrodite (also represented by the woman and baby shaped whistle). The serpent is represented by the wind (presumably denoted by the coiled serpent whistle). He maintains that "this is the only time when the wind is welcomed by the Majorcans, who... fear the sirocco as they fear the devil". The whistling is not heard in the island except in the xuirell season. Then most curiously Graves injects the following non sequitur:
"The ploughman sings as drives his mule and the schoolboy as he runs home from school; for the rest furbis, flabis, flebis - 'whistle shrill, weep long' ".
The fur fla fle bis, is of course, one of the inscriptions on the whistle excavated in M.R. James' tale. I am not sure what to make of this. Were James and Graves drawing from a similar Mediterranean custom, or was Graves merely injecting James' story into his mythopoesis - which is an interesting insight into the mechanics of his creativity. I haven't read any accounts of Graves studying James' stories. It also adds another aspect to 'Oh Whistle'. I've always considered to the story to have strong succubal or incubal overtones, as well as being a quite strong evocation of sleep paralysis, but it could be drawing from Greek mythology too, though Jacqueline Simpson in her essay on folkloric elements in M.R. James draws on Jutland customs to possibly explain the roots of the story.
As well as Graves' account of the harvest time ritual, there's also a festival in the municipality of Llubi on Majorca, which takes place on the Saturday before Shrove Tuesday. It's called the "Fiesta of the Xiurell" and during the ceremony a giant xiurell or demon-shaped whistle is burnt. Presumably this is to mark the beginning of the agricultural year.
I also wonder whether there is a connection between the film "The Shout", which came out in the late 70s, and "Oh Whistle". "The Shout" was filmed in Devon among the dunes and starred Alan Bates. He plays a madman who infiltrates a couple's lives, seduces the wife and plays mind games which her husband, played by John Hurt. Hurt's an electronic music composer and Bates claims to have learned from aboriginal shaman how to kill with a shout. The coastal location and the demonic use of the shout bare some resemblance to M.R. James' "Oh Whistle", but most interestingly, "The Shout" is based on a Robert Graves short story. In a weird twist of cinematic fate, John Hurt was recast as Parkin in the recent TV remake of "Oh Whistle".
In Graves' story the husband and wife begin to experience telepathic dreams in which the husband is seen walking on the sands with a strange man who is discussing the whereabouts of the soul. The woman in her version of the dream runs from these figures. Graves' "The Shout" is quite clearly also a conceit for his preoccupation with the story of the poet, muse and wyrd. But there are certainly some intriguing overlaps between the folkloric roots of Graves' and James' research.

Vent vent… vent? Maybe just cheesy thoughts.. Hahaha where do I even start. Well first off having you as my lock/home screen is a good and bad thing. Let's list why its good then bad or bad then good. Lol . hmmm Or maybe just good. We'll see how things go. Lol
Why is good that you're my lock/home screen..
1.) Because I seem to always check my phone and when I unlock it; its you.
2.) Its because you seem to motivate me more than anyone else.
3.) I seem to smile more when I see you or your face..
4.) I remember all the good days we've had
5.) It reminds me how lucky I am to have you in my life.
6.) I just get all cheesed.. I guess this' the same as #3. Lol
7.) Reminds me when I told you that one day that it was such a turn on to see you all dressed up, then the next day you picked me up at work all dressed up, even in the pouring rain.
8.) Reminds me when you bussed over and hour just to see me for just a few mins.
9.) The kisses in the storage room
10.) How you'd go the extra mile just to make the person you like/love happy..
But anyways, I guess this post is just how I feel about you? I guess.. Hahah. Well hmm, I always seem to ask myself why do I like you? Why you?.. For the longest time I had no answer until yesteday.. When I had to talk to my brother about you. Why do I like you? Simply because you treat me how I'm suppose to be treated, like a princess. It feels nice to actually have someone take care of me instead of me taking care of someone, I'm not saying I'm not gonna take care of you. Its just different with you, no matter how many times I hear your name I still get butterflies or more like elephants in my stomach. Lol. I just get that gigil emotion.
When my Tita told me about you coming to the store all excited cuz I'm back from my trip and how smiley you were just melts my insides.. How she gets cheesed herself telling me about it, just kills my inside.. In a good way. How my titas love it when you look into my store to just check if im there or not. Call me crazy but I think I'm truly madly deeply in love with you.. Hahaha. I just can't seem to get you outta my mind! Or the sweet shit you said. Gah my cheekbones hurt from smiling. Lol well I know words dont mean much to you but I just can't help to just let my thoughts and feelings out. Haha. But yeah, I guess that's it for now.. :)
Can't believe even a million miles away you're all I think about. I'm here on a business trip and all I wanna do is be successful, just so I could take you with me.. I'm gonna bust my ass the upcoming 3 months just so I could take you to Hawaii with me. I dont understand why I'm thinking this way, I don't know why I wanna bring you. I don't know why I wanna settle down with you. You probably dont see the same but shit, this sucks nuts cuz all I want is to just want to be with you and only you. I know words aren't anything to you but I swear I'm gonna prove you wrong; prove to you how much I actually do love you. I don't know why I haven't given up after all the arguments and rumors after all the shit. I'm still here to stay, I'm here to walk beside you through all the struggles and obstacles. A lot of people may leave you but I guarantee you I'm here to damm stay.
I hate the way you make me feel.. I just plain hate you but love you at the same fucken time. Why did I even bother meeting you, why did I even fall for someone like you, why am I so scared to lose you? You aren't even mine. You, being the last thought at night and first thought once I wake up.. hoping youll love me like I love you. Fuck you straight up, the thought of you drives me crazy.
Before I met you I put up all my guards up but you broke them down. I always ask myself why, why must I be so stupid to let a guy like you break down my walls again.. Why must I fall in love with you completely. Why must I think of you all the damn time.. why do you have to be so damn sweet. Fuck you. Fuck getting so attached to you, fuck loving you.. fuck always checking up on you! Fuck getting jealous.. just straight up fuck everything.. blaaaah!!
Hey babe, cant seem to get my shit together and tell you.. so I guess its on here. Ha ha. Oh btw sorry for the depressing posts after this, im over that shit. But anyways.. I can only seem to spill my feelings out on here but not to anyone.. well no one knows this blog of mine, even if theres a link on my main blog but no one pays attention to that. But yeah, I honestly cant seem to get you off my mind ever since the day we started talking, to be honest with you. I thought you were the cutest from the moment I seen your video with kalen, seeing how much you love her makes my heart melt. Ive always been real with you, I never like hiding things from someone that means a lot. I tell you things straight up and when you ask I give a straight answer. I learned a lot from my past about lying, so I cant seem to lie anymore. I cant fully vent to you straight up cuz im scared, ive always been scared of everything. I dont know why im scared to vent to you but I just am as much as I wanna im scared of your reaction I guess. Ive always been that type of girl that would trusy people easily and they always fuck me over. I never learn my lesson and just tell people I KNOW I could trust. But you I opened up to you quickly, theres just something about you that's different. You're the only guy that im seeing that's actually older than me, I guess that's what makes me so scared, im used to guys being in love with me I guess. But like you said you know your worth, thats why im kind of distancing myself. I dont wanna push buttons and get you sick of me already, which you probably are I think ;/. I told you from yhe beginning that im the worse girl to like, I have so many flaws.. I told you im always busy.. I honestly feel like shit that I barely have time for you, which pushes you away which makes you have interest in someone else probably. I tend to push away people that actually treat me good then just go with a jackass that treats me like shit. With you, I can see you'll treat me like a princess or even a queen. For some reason im scared, im scared that youll treat me so good and ill just disappoint you, which I did many times already and it pisses me off. I know it seems as if I dont try my best but I do, I swear I do. Babe, i think being with me is probably one of the worst decisions youve made. Why do I think that.. well first of all, like I said I tend to push the good things away. A small fight, ill try to push you away by putting myself down, but really I want you to stay. I know that shit is whack but its just me. Second, I tend to pick small fights, which makes me end up trying to be sweet. Which sometimes works but doesnt. Third, im stubborn and hard headed. Fourth, I get really jealous easily.. like really easily. And lastly, I love stealing my boys clothes.. I love just having your scent, eventually all your clothes might end up at my place. Oh and lastly lastly I love being lambinged or whatever. Hah! But yeah. I hate fighting or having little arguments, I feel like shit always wondering what youre doing, if youre thinking of me or if you still like me or love me or whatever me. Babe, you're one in a million and I still need to learn how to love an older man, since im used to dating useless boys. Everything is off my chest.. I guess ima send you the link now and pass out and just wait for your text in the morning or text you if you havent.
I hate the way you make me feel… I honestly love being with you even if we havent hung out fully yet, but every time im near you I get these feelings I cant explain like little running elephants in my stomach. You've made me the happiest little lady but lately it seems as if youve lost interest.. convos been cut short, little arguments here and there. I knew it that id fuck things up sooner or later.. man, it just sucks cuz im madly in love with you its insane..
All I wished for was someone to stick by my side, someone that could be there when I need them. Someone that is with me; even if im the most hardheadest person ever, the most unconfident one. I really hoped it wouldve been you.
You were different, you knew how to make me smile when I didn't want too, I trusted you with all my secrets.. I could tell you anything and you wouldnt judge; you had my back. You were everything I hoped for; someone who knew what they wanted, someone who knew how their futures gonna be. You helped me look at the brighter things in life, you always had that wonderful smile on your face that brightens the room. Youre the first thing I look for in a crowd of people.
Now thats its all over, im like a lost soul, I dont know which way to go, it feels as if I lost my other half. I think of you more than I should, I wonder if you do same. I wonder what youre doing, how you are. People tell me to shoot you a text, but honestly I cant. Its hard to talk to someone to who seems like they dont wanna talk to you.
I'm the one that's planning a future but this time it was you, you did everything to make me think it'll last, you made me think you'd be my last. You had everything planned out, to what our kids activities were gonna be, down to their names. But I guess feelings change quickly than you expect. I just hope that you figure out the things you need to figure out.
I miss the small things you used to do.. the times when you had a chance, you'd text or call.. the times when you'd skype call me.. I miss how you'd make an effort for me to be in your life. But recently I feel so unwanted, not worthy of your time, not important. You can tell me so many reasons or excuses, but those are just words like they say "actions speak louder than words." The fact I only see you once a week, thats not enough. You're giving reasons for other people to take YOUR spot, as much as I don't want it to be it will. I reread all the things you used to tell me, it makes it seem you're still here with me. I've been feeling like I have no boyfriend at all, you're always the first person I wanna tell things to but you're not around. Yeah you're a text away, but you're too busy. I just don't know anymore. Patience if a virtue they say.. I just hope its true. I love you way too much, and to be honest I'm scared to lose you but at the same time I'm not. I just straight up hope you see whats in front of you.
First, I was left with a dora doll my ex gave me on my birthday.. I brought that dora doll with me on my second trip to los angeles.. then suddenly he left so I gave it back.
Second, I was given a ds and a lifesized stuffed dog.. then I left and kept the things he gave.. then threw them out.
Third, I was given a note for my 18th birthday… then things went downhill and I had to burn the note.
Now, I'm left with a football jacket..I honestly don't wanna do anything bad to this football jacket, I want it to be the last present I ever had.. the present I'm truly happy to have.. the present I dont need to burn, or give back or throw out.. I want to keep it forever..
03032013; You know when you're drunk and get inside your house and there's a bunch of obstacles? Life is like that sometimes people get into your life and even if it's a blessing or a curse it's always just gonna be a lesson learned. So it's either he's just an obstacle to make your life be better or he's the one beside you facing those obstacles together.

07252013; I'm On my break so here goes. Never have i ever loved, someone who's so sweet that came from above, your smile takes my breath away, but why do you have to always call me
Fucking gay?, your annoying mood swings i can tolerate, they're the only thing about you that really hate, this text has a lot of rhyme , but stealing your heart is one of the BEST crime, aside from
Booz and marijuana, you can keep Me forever if you wanna? :) I know I'm not much of a poet, but just STFU and get over it, I'm Just winging this as i go along, maybe one day I'll even right a song, about the best I've ever had, because dating you is so fucking rad :D
09082013; Good morning babe! I'm at work na. Hope you slept well, sorry i always leave every Saturday night but it's the only time me and my cousin see each other anymore. But heeyyy your bday is coming up!!!! I'm so excited to date a "mature" 19 year old! Ghana who am i kidding. You'll always be a baby. MY BABY. Ya big baby!

Ones, extremely tall and buff babies. Although you're 2 years older than me
You are still my baby girl matter juat! HAPPY 19th babe!!!! I love you lots!!! :*
09182013; If it's me falling for someone don't worry i won't. Shit i won't cheat on you. It's my presence that i just can't provide but you have my loyalty hun. Every girl i see is ugly to my eyes. You can ask all my friends. No matter what scenario it is with girls i always tell em the girl is ugly and i have a girlfriend. You're the first thing i mention to people i meet.
09192013; I wanna say i love you joy i wanna have all day Saturday with you and go shopping during Sunday's and cuddle to
Sleep then wake up to our dream house with our annoying ass kids (they got it from their momma) then dropping em off to school.
09222013; Babe… I'm stupid. At times I neglect you. I don't mean to but it do. I just had my thoughts straight. I'm scared to lose you. Please hang in there. Your boyfriend is just getting his shit straight, I hate putting you to tears really. I think I'm slowly losing you, I don't want that to happen. I don't wanna lose the best thing that's ever happened to me. I may be a shitty boyfriend right now but maybe in the near future I can be a good dad and an even better husband. Our relationship is hanging by a thread right now and you might make decisions that you might regret. If you wanna listen to peoples "advice" I don't blame you. Just don't regret your decisions about us trust me it's not good. I'm sorry for the misery I gave you, I'm sorry for not calling, sorry for not giving you all those little things that mean so much, I'm sorry I'm a fuck up. Still down to stay with me for a last ride? Maybe convince you that I'm actually worthy of you? I love you Hun.. I really do.
Me: Yenno how I long at thing as long runs.. what happens when you're done high school? I'm scared things moght go downhill
Babe: What happens when I'm done highschool?! Imma get a descent job and a car so I can satisfy my wife's cravings at like 1 in the morning.
10192013; I'm still with you because when everyone and the whole world is against me you're the only there with me still. You have faith in me when even I don't
Here I am laying here, crying my eyes out wondering where I went wrong.. torturing myself by looking through our pictures and rereading convos.. just the way you said things to make sure I'm okay and what not. I know I shouldn't be crying but its just so hard to keep it in..
Nobody wants a girl that's like me..c
Here I am hoping all my relationships end up like a happy ending.. I guess that's what I get watching all these love movies.. hoping to find my prince charming, fall in love and live happily ever after but we all know realistically that's not going to happen..
Love isn't easy, there'll always be ups and downs. I guess right now I'm at my lowest point, rock bottom. I'm at my weakest point where I could just bust into tears out of nowhere, but once you're at the bottom there's nowhere else to go but up. No matter how hard it is.. you can't always expect things to be good right off the bat..
You give and trust someone with your heart and hope they don't break it. You give that person your all but sometimes they see it as something bad as if they're being tied down or choked and you see it as loving them.. and when they see it as something good you think they could do better.
Love isn't only easy but is confusing too, it makes you do and think such stupid things. Makes you think how could someone possibly love another that's confusing and so fucked up? how could someone learn to love another when they dont even know themselves? It's hard to love someone that has so much complications with themself. Like how could you possibly love that one person? Feeling not good enough, feeling that someone else could love better. Its just so damn complicating. Love isn't easy.
I wonder if youll actually hit rock bottom when I leave.. but what if you don't? What if I do leave and you just love being free and don't come back.. and I'm left here waiting or even falling for someone else? It sucks waiting for something that's probably never gonna happen yet I'm here waiting around for your ass. Its sucks to leave something that you know you wanna keep and be with forever, when you know its everything you've wanted and hoped for. But I think I can't wait anymore longer for you to realize things.. my insides hurt thinking of all the negative things but I don't feel the needs to stay, I don't feel the love like I did in the beginning. I'm just in so much pain, I'm tired of waiting, tired of hoping things are gonna change. I just hope you get shit straight sooner or later, cuz soon enough the most patient girl isn't gonna be waiting around for you anymore.
Uuuuuugh! I keep deleting what I'm writing.
- I know basically everything. I find shit out but I just keep my mouth shut until I feel as I have to let it out. Once I do let things out I feel like I just fucked things up, like I just gave away my identity; that I've been hiding for so long. But really that's not the reason why I let it out. Its because obvi its been bugging me for so long and it just can't stay hidden no more.. it hurts to find things out from someone else or just finding things out yourself, its like you're not worth the truth or something. Be real with me, cuz Im always real with you. Ignorance may be a bliss, but the truth is a virtue. I rather hear the truth than some white lie shit. Yenno. It just makes me lose my trust in someone.. and once I lose my trust you're basically cut, yeah we can talk but its not the same..
- being felt as if you're forgotten is probably one of the most hurtful feeling ever.. being told you're a priority yet still felt as if you're just an option or some shit.. it hurts. But obvi you just keep your mouth cuz you can't do anything, but accept it.
- it sucks when you need someone but they're never there, when you need someone to just listen and tell you things you wanna hear.. not advice on what you should do. Sometimes people just need a big tight hug to feel better. it sucks to love someone so much but too scared to love them more because you're just plain scared to get hurt again. It sucks to plan ahead but feel youre doing it for nothing cuz you don't know if they're with you in the long run.. or just there just for the sake of having you.. it plain sucks. It sucks feeling like you could be replace so easily even if they say no one could compare to you, just cause you heard those words before..
.. I guess that's it for now. Gonna try to catch some sleep to heal my heart and brain..
Fuck I dont even know anymore. Im just so madly in love with you, more than I ever expected to be. I wanna tell you so many things but the words just cant come outta my mouth when im near you. I fucken feel like a big mess, wanting to just be with you all the time, to always know if im the only girl on your mind. Fuck I hate over thinking at night, brings up things that arent there. Im scared to love you more. im scared you might turn out like my ex, get piss drunk and make out with a girl and not tell me, well basically cheat on me. He said he was loyal and wouldn't do it but he did, even his friends encouraged him and didnt stop him. Im just straight up scared. It just kills me inside. Theres just a bunch of things I wanna talk to you about and wish youd tell me how you really feel and not joke around. :(
Finding out you have stage 4 cancer totally breaks my heart, obviously I cant do anything about it but to just pray for you. Seeing you after 10 years and seeing the smile on your face just its so amazing and makes my heart melt. I wish I had more time to spend with you, I wish I could just spend everyday with you like before.. I love you so much nanay, even if I barely visit. Youre always going to be my nanay and ill always love you :( please keep fighting, you got this.

Film Review: Patient Zero (2012)
SYNOPSIS: Two young scientists are swept up in a government plot to suppress the truth about a biological disaster at a genetic research facility. REVIEW: The distributor, Hannover House, has been marketing Patient Zero as a prequel to Humans vs. Zombies (also directed by Brian T. Jaynes), and although I haven't seen the original film, I found Patient Zero a thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience. It had very slick visuals and storyline, coupled with brilliant acting … Continue reading

Simply divine. The smell is amazing and it is such a luxurious treatment for your lips. I keep it on my bedside table and use it every evening and every morning after washing. During the day, I reach for my elizabeth arden 8 hour cream - more purse friendly and also a wonderful product.

The best! If you hesitate between the pot and the applicator bottle: go for the pot, the tube is (unfortunately) too goopy and runs. I'm so unfaithful* to this product and yet always return to it because it works best for me. It also gives a shiny, dewy rose finish that I really love. Also ideal as pre-lipstick treatment: just apply 5 min's before application and blot, lips are soft and well-prepared.
It's expensive and a glass pot is hardly the easiest package, but if you consider it as a beauty/night time table item, it will last you a good while. If you like this but want something similar yet slightly cheaper and easier to carry on, I'd recommend the Rubinstein Collagenist Lip balm.
*lip treatments that I've used and didn't quite measure up: LaMer lipbalm, Hauschka stick, Yes to Carrots, Labello/Nivea, Carmex, Rosebud Salve ...

Just a few things:
1. YES, this product works. It is NOT a ridiculously expensive pot of crappy Vaseline with a rose. You only need a small amount and it feels very nourishing on the lips and they look/feel hydrated for hours afterwards.
2. If anyone is wondering how it compares to the DIOR Creme de Rose, unfortunately the Baume de Rose wins hands down. The Creme is goopier, thicker and much more of a barrier rather than a real hydrating treatment.
3. If you have been thinking about this product for months and still want it, like me, go for it. You won't find a substitute. Treat it not as a lip balm but a TREATMENT for your lips/cuticles and it can even be used under the eye!

I used to have chronically dry, cracked lips but no longer! I have been using Baume de Rose lip balm for about six months now and the improvement in my lips is fantastic!
I mostly use it as a night treatment (it is very expensive) so the pot I have is still going, making it worth the price.
I will definitely re-purchase, this my HG lip product.

I was very hesitant spending so much money on a lip balm, but having read and heard so many great reviews I decided to give it a go and I am so glad I did.
Everything about this product is fantastic, I love the smell, the consistency and the subtle colour and shine. My lips are in fantastic condition after using this and I love the way it looks so natural whilst really enhancing their natural colour.

I did think twice before purchasing this product as £32 is very expensive for a little jar of lip balm. This is without a doubt the most expensive lip balms I have ever purchased. But it's worth it because I love it and will actually use it all up; unlike all the cheaper balms I own but dont use! I use it as a treatment at night and wake up with kissable lips without fail each morning. I will defiantly be repurchasing this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
There is only one way I can describe the natural conditon of my lips - chronic dryness (cracking, peeling, bleeding). Let me tell you apart from Creme de Mer lip balm I have tried almost everything out there from petrolum based balms to more natural products and Baume de Rose is by far the best lip treatment I have ever come across.
The consistency on the lips is lovely and thick, although smooth at the same time, and you can feel it moisturizing deep in your lips, and not just the skin on the surface. Once applied the feeling will last for a good few hours and there is no need to reapply more than 3 times a day (although I love it so much I use it about 4 or 5 times).
The treatment will leave a slight shine to your lips, but not in a sticky lipgloss kind of way. The plumping effect it has on the lips is minimal (or maybe so in my case as my lips are quite full already) so I wouldn't rely on it being an effective plumper if that's what you are looking for.
I found that after 2 days the condition of my lips improved dramatically, and now I am able to wear lipglosses and anything else on my lips now as I no longer suffer from cracking etc.
If you're the type of person that suffers from extremely dry lips like me and are willing to splash out then I would say look no further than this. However if you're lucky enough to be able to use anything on your lips then I would say save your money and buy Burt's Bees which is another good balm but for a fraction of the price.
Let me tell you I have drawers of lip balms that I have acquired throughout the years on my quest to find something that would heal my lips, and I will only ever use this now for as long as it continues to work for me. It may be expensive but I see it as an investment as it really works and I will no longer have to waste anymore money on other products.

Gives me a great gloss look that stays on for hours. I have trouble keeping anything on for any longer than 15 or 20 minutes and I am still amazed how long it stays on while it moisturizes my lips. I do feel as if I have to use antibacterial soap on my fingers before I apply because it does come in a pot. Expensive, but worth it. I do love the smell.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very good lip treatment/balm. It is very expensive so I suggest to try it out before you purchase. It really does leave your lips soft and supple but for the price I don't know exactly know if it's worth it! I would stick to MAC lip treatment of Jack Black those two seem to do the same thing without the high price tag! But that's just my opinion.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really think of this more as a pot gloss than a lip balm. Although it is smoothing and does moisturize it is not nearly as nourishing as say Fresh's sugar lip balm or Weleda skin food. The texture is really more of a gloss/lacquer. That said, it is really, really beautiful. Just the right hint of lilac to a super sheer baby pink that makes your lips look absolutely delectable. It's a great alternative to nude lipstick or clear lipgloss.

Pretty corny movie from the 60's, but still enjoyable in it's own way. There is another rip of this movie floating around but the audio is broken. PLOT: Tom the Piper's Son is about to marry Mary Quite Contrary. On the eve of their wedding, evil miser Barnaby hires two henchmen to drown Tom and steal Mary's sheep, cared for by Little Bo Peep, thus depriving Mary and the children she lives with of their livelihood, forcing her to marry Barnaby. The sheep are stolen, but Gonzorgo and Roderigo, Barnaby's henchmen, double-cross him by selling Tom to a band of gypsies instead, leaving Tom with the opportunity to escape and make his way with Mary, Bo-Peep, and other Mother Goose characters to Toyland.

Merle Hoffman is a legendary women's rights activist, journalist and health care pioneer. Since the early 1970s, she's fought on the front lines of the war against women, standing up against anti-choice activists since before Roe v. Wade was passed. In 1971, Hoffman helped found one of America's first ambulatory abortion centers: the Flushing Women's Medical Center in New York, since renamed Choices Women's Medical Center.
Under Hoffman's leadership, the center has expanded to offer a comprehensive range of both reproductive and primary care services. The medical center is founded under the vision of "Patient Power," a term Hoffman coined, which is a philosophy grounded in knowledge and education, empowering all patients in the health care system.
She is also the co-founder of the National Abortion Federation, a professional association of abortion providers, and founder of the New York Pro-Choice Coalition, the first umbrella organization of pro-choice individuals and organizations committed to ensuring legal, safe abortion in New York. Hoffman is publisher and editor-in-chief of On the Issues magazine, an online feminist magazine of independent, critical thinking.
Today, she continues to serve as the CEO of Choices, now one of the nation's largest women's medical facilities. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Choices Women's Medical Center. The legacy of Hoffman's work and the work she continues to this day has had an immeasurable impact on women's rights.
Her memoir, Intimate Wars: The Life and Times of the Woman Who Brought Abortion from the Back Alley to the Board Room, is a fascinating must-read for anyone interested in not only Hoffman's inspiring life and her journey to abortion rights activism, but also a historical account of the anti-women movement still being waged today.
Interviewing Hoffman was an honor. Her tireless work in support of women's rights is awe-inspiring and motivational.
And now, without further ado, the Feministing Five, with Merle Hoffman.
Anna Sterling: How does today's backlash against women's reproductive rights compare to the battles you faced in the 1970s and 80s?
Merle Hoffman: It's bolder. It's more relentless and creative. It has the feeling of extraordinary entitlement when you had four of the Republican presidential candidates jumping over each other, showing who could be the most radical. Not only do they feel entitled to go there, but the support is very strong. I was in Virginia a couple months ago at one of the clinics when they were talking about the possibility of passage of the sonogram legislation. And I just came back from Pennsylvania where I was speaking last night and they were in an uproar because there is another legislation attempt to push this fetal sonogram legislation. It's like blinkers. It's putting blinkers on women because they have to look at the screen and try not to even avert their eyes. As I said, it's relentless, its maddeningly creative, and if they don't make abortion illegal, they are succeeding in making it impossible for many, many women in many states in this country.
AS: How do you sustain yourself and stay motivated in this ongoing war against women?
MH: You know, I'm a happy warrior. As Flo Kennedy said to me years ago, "You have to love the struggle," and for me that's the essence of it. It's not that I'm doing this because I expect to see a result. After being on the front lines for 40 years, the result I'm seeing is not terribly positive. It's because I understand it's process. I understand that the struggle is where the passion comes from and where the intensity and commitment comes from. I can't control the outcome of my work or activism. I know I have to speak and act because it's the right thing to do and the results of those actions I can't control. All I know is: I have to do it. It's going to sound strange, but I really don't take it personally. I understand if we have a defeat or a moment of pullback. I have a more philosophical attitude toward it; it might be because I read a lot of philosophy and I think a lot about it. It's a lifetime commitment.
AS: Who is your favorite fictional heroine, and who are your heroines in real life?
MH: I don't read fiction! Growing up, I discovered Elizabeth I and Joan of Arc and that was it. I read history of any of the great women I could find that lived in the world and made a great difference. I read some George Sand and some, when I got older, philosophical fiction, but I'm really not much of a fiction reader so I couldn't say.
My heroines in real life are the women I work with everyday at Choices and the patients I see. The patients who go past the picketers, who live lives with difficulty and struggle and make their decisions in a very negative environment, but continue to make them and continue to put their bodies on the line. That's a heroic decision. And all of the providers in the country I've worked with for so many years and continue to work with that put their lives on the line everyday to do this work. These are the people who are heroic to me and anyone else who struggles for social justice in times and circumstances of difficulty and danger. People who stand up for what's right– I see them in all different areas. I respect actions of individuals more than individuals.
AS: What, in your opinion, is the greatest challenge facing feminism today?
MH: It's thinking creatively and proactively. The separation of thought and action has to be minimized. I would like to see a far more active movement in multiple ways, so that we never get to the point where we have to have silent protests because male legislators want to insert vaginal probes into women who don't want them. The fact that we're at this point tells me there has to be a lot more action, radical action, that's continual and creative. That's why I say courage is so important and why you have to practice it. Without drawing a line in the sand and without saying, if you cross this line this is what'll happen, we will defend this with civil disobedience, and whatever we have to – that's the point we have to come to in this movement. In 1989, I organized the first pro-choice civil disobedience. It was at St. Patrick's Cathedral. That was because Cardinal O'Connor was supporting Randall Terry in Operation Rescue. Nine people were arrested. I'd like to see this kind of action now. What's happening in this country in terms of women's rights and reproductive rights demands that kind of response.
AS: You're going to a desert island, and you're allowed to take one food, one drink and one feminist. What do you pick?
MH: Food is definitely shrimp dumplings. I love shrimp dumplings! [Laughs] Drink is iced decaf cappuccino. I wouldn't want to be too hyper on a desert island by myself. I'd have to take my Kindle because I have access to any of [the feminists] I wanted. I'd get too bored with one person. If I had a long enough battery, I would take the Kindle and read them all!

That's not true, ours has grown deeper each day,
Art by Alphonse Mucha
Got our new satin 'pinched' duvet cover set and sheets for our bed along with both bathroom accents, including a memory foam bath rug which I told Kenny will feel nicely to put his feet on as he poops. I have spent way too much on more furniture and décor objects but I don't care I get so excited putting rooms together in our home.
