http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000UX6THK/boingboing/ i totally want this.

this article is currently not opening, but i will post the headline (since it really is sad to think of in retrospect to when i was a kid...)
(from calorielab.com) — "Back in 1963, when the boats that carry customers through Disneyland's "It's a Small World" ride were designed, the average male weighed 175lbs and the average female 135lbs. Not anymore. Disney is now undertaking a massive renovation in which the boats will be redesigned and the flume deepened to accommodate the additional poundage"

and in recently feminist news: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/fashion/28vajayjay.html?ex=1351224000&en=63ef015ec978209a&ei=5124&partner=digg&exprod=digg

god, i love gloria steinem.



i have a meeting from 1:30-2:30 today. it doesn't look too fun. moods here are sort of weird today. some people seem on edge, and others seem totally at ease and happy. i was really delighted around 10...and then by about 12, i was super upset. now i'm just half-half. i figure that the one definite skill i have is to take crap, to not say a word back, and to see if i can get the problem solved. if i can do this, then i'm doing my job. i've been wanting to say things lately, but there isn't much of a point in it. it's just better to realize that no matter what, i'm just a drafter. it's not fun, but that's just how it goes. someday things will fall into place. it just sucks when you are really trying to be smart and capable, and you feel like someone just kicked you in the face. i'll say this though...while they may be smarter in these respects, there are definitely things that i am knowledgeable at beyond a level that they have reached. so, i suppose that's the only way i can really view it all.

either way, the one thing that i can definitely say is that cocorosie is coming to boise, and i am stoked. i just got the message from derek and jenni (and they say hello to both of us, darrin). i'll have to make a date for that show, because it is one that i'm thinking will be a real treat.

oh, and these videos too:
