Built a fort with an eleven-year-old tonight and sat in it and watched movies. WISH YOUR TUESDAY WAS THIS COOL.

I got to watch a baby take his first step without holding on to my hands. It was only one step before he fell, but it was progress! So yes, my Tuesday was THIS COOL. :)

At first he was just reaching into the bags and playing with the ornaments but then once he caught on to what I was doing, he’d reach up and place them on the branches. It’s a shame that I was the only one present to witness the cuteness of this.

Hanes use cotton from Uzbekistan, which is not only the world’s second largest producer of cotton, but also one of the biggest exploiters of children in the industry. No more grannies panties for me.

WHAT DO THESE COMPANIES HAVE IN COMMON? They were just inducted into the International Labor Rights Forum 2010 Sweatshop Hall of Shame.

Sweatshop labor PREVENTS CHILDREN FROM GOING TO SCHOOL. Children as young as seven are repeating the cycle of illiteracy and hopelessness to make my stupid tank tops and underwear. I’m floored, I put trust in some companies, you know? Blind trust is no longer enough.

ONE IN SIX CHILDREN IN THE WORLD ARE ENGAGED IN CHILD LABOR.

Great. Now I feel like shit that my entire house is furnished by IKEA. Guess that puts an end to that. And sorry Wal-Mart… gonna be sure to do my shopping at Meijer now (BTW, I STILL don’t buy things made by Procter and Gamble, Cover Girl, or use Tide laundry detergent because in like 6th grade Jillian told me that those companies test on animals)

How do they decide?

Yesterday my Wii came. It was ordered from dell.com and delivered by UPS. No signature needed, it was on my doorstep when I came home.

Today, my Beatles Rock Band bundle was to be delivered. It was ordered from dell.com and delivered by UPS. Apparently, I need to sign for it so I only got a note on my door saying I have to sign.

What gives?

Also, FedEx delivered my John Lennon guitar controller without signing for it. As excited as I am by the fact that it’s here, I can’t do anything with it without the game bundle…

What makes it so that you have to sign for a package rather than them being able to leave it?

A lot of times it’s at the whim of the delivery man. My guess is that the Wii was supposed to have a signiture, but the first UPS guy forged it and left it for you figuring you wouldn’t mind because it would be easier for the both of you.

Other times, delivery guys say you need a signiture when you really don’t. I had that happen to me once. My delivery was two tickets to a Red Wings game that I had overnighted to me so they’d arrive Saturday (the game was on Sunday) I knew I’d be at work so I intentionally made sure I DIDN’T need a signiture. When I got home from work, instead of the tickets was a signiture needed note from the post office, which was already closed. I called and there was someone still there and I made them re-open so I could get them since it was their fault.

After finishing “Devil in the White City” last night, I decided to continue not only with the true crime theme, but also with the Chicago setting and started Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI. It’s what the movie “Public Enemies” with Johnny Depp is based on, which I’ve never seen, thank goodness (I hate seeing a movie before I’ve read the book). So far I love the way it’s written. Looking forward to getting into the meat of it. Dillinger’s story is especially intruiging to me given his ties to the U.P, inculding the place where Josh and I got married.

Just finishing this up. It was recommended to me by the owner of the used book store I frequently go to. It was by far one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read. It’s incredible how much the Chicago World’s Fair shaped the future of America in so many different little ways. For being non-fiction, it was certainly suspensful and never dry. For anyone interested in historical non-fiction/fiction, especially someone who is familiar with Chicago, I would definitely recommend this.

Josh: (cutting me off) Don't watch "17 Again" without me. I'll watch that one with you.

“I’m going to this rally on healthcare, and I really want to equate the healthcare reform bill to the Holocaust. See (pro-healthcare reformers) are the same as the Nazis, because universal healthcare is socialism, and the Nazis were the National Socialist Party. You know, the same way I’m a Communist, because I’m a Republican, and there’s the People’s Republic of China.”

My Rapid Response

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:31:00 -0500

Am I upset that Green Bay lost? Absolutely. But what I’m more upset about is all of the shit I will have to read/hear from ignorant people who make comments like “That’s what Green Bay gets for letting Favre go” or “It’s all Ted Thompson’s fault.” I’ve said this 1,000 times and I’ll keep saying it until the idiots out there get it through their heads that Favre has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Yes, Rodgers started out the game pretty terribly. But he ended up with 287 passing yards which ranked him 2nd in the NFL today, and 249 of them were in the 2nd half! Additionally, he led GB in rushing yards this game. Ridiculous. The problem is NOT that we gave up Favre. Aaron is doing is job. And probably better than Favre could be doing because there is no way that at his age he could get sacked as many times as Rodgers has and not get hurt. Favre just happens to be playing for a better team. And I can admit that and be ok with that because I truley believe that Green Bay is going to be better off in the long run.
