Pregnant farm worker dies

I first heard sad stories like this one from the United Farm Workers. I’m glad these incidents are making their way into mainstream news because people really need to know what’s going on.

I love Gustavo Arellano’s column in the Inland Empire Weekly. He’s hilarious!

Organic or not?

Some fruits and vegetables have more pesticide residue than others. To decide whether or not it’s worth spending the extra bucks buying the organic version of your faves, see if it’s high on the list here.

LOL! Though I had to look up who Terry Semel was.

Seriously, who needs TV?

Hugging the baby

Because we couldn’t go to the Coachella Music Festival this year, the regrettably human and therefore illogically petty part of my brain wants to believe it has already jumped the shark. So why am I sitting here anxiously waiting for the live webcast to start?

Earlier today I was on ROFLCon watching this session‘s live webcast. The online chatters who were watching the discussion with me were all being “extra special,” especially once the live Q and A turned to issues of gender and race, so I left. I guess I could have tried to challenge my fellow chatters, but I really wasn’t in the mood. Now I wish I had watched the LOLCATS session. At least they were willing to address the gender issue.

A couple of friends suggested that I update my Facebook profile with the progress of my labor. (Not that it’s started yet.) My response? So not gonna happen! But I offered to text them when I head to the hospital.
