I feel a little guilty bringing cheap-ass food to the furlough party when I had tamales de pollo con chili verde for dinner. >_>

I'm going to a furlough party tonight. The theme is cheap booze and cheap food. I am bringing all of my leftover Christmas booze, but I am not sure what to bring for food. I am debating between Kraft dinner and ramen noodles, but open for other cheap food suggestions.

I think I just got made fun of for changing into fleece pants and a hoodie because I was freezing. My thermostat says it's only 69 degrees in here! *shivers*
I heard a song off their new album on the way home from work tonight. I love that they just keep bringing it!

Facebook keeps telling me that ________ has poked me. How do I delicately tell FB that I am not in the mood to poke? Should I feign a headache?
:) I'm sure there'd be no such souring of relations with Glen since he's not a d*ck, whereas mine was, & where my p*ss/off'edness came from was I COULDN'T POKE BACK! ~ frustrating!!!

Once, I had a poke contest going on with a friend, things turned sour, they unfriended me, but returned the poke before doing so. So I got the poke notification, but couldn't poke back as they were no longer my friend; now, how PISSED off was I? Very.

"In Spanish, the plus sign ("+") translates as "mas," or "more." So to say "one plus one," you say "uno mas uno" (or "one, more one"). The original image - "No + (the red ink blot)" is immediately understood in Mexico as "No more blood." Everyday people added their own specific demands to this design, on placards, tee shirts, stickers, Xeroxed and photoshopped copies on letter paper. They called for no more deaths, injustice, impunity, corruption, police, and Calderón, among the related things they want no more of. The rage personalized on Calderón was particularly interesting, since many of these people were of the "middle class" demographic that constitute his electoral base. It's certain that a good number of people who came to this march had voted for Calderón in 2006 for president, but here they were, yesterday, chanting, "Out Calderón!" and "Urgent! Urgent! He Must Resign, the President!"
Many mothers and grandmothers carried signs they had made asking questions like, "If the children killed were named Calderón would you still want this war?" They marched next to businessmen in suits, Christian religious groups, punks with spiked hair, entire families with baby carriages, a few people walking their dogs, bicyclists, lesbians, gays, young office professionals with stylish printed placards, each of them unique, and small groups of three, four, five friends who told our reporters that they were not part of any organization or collective, but they had read about the march in the media or on Facebook and decided together to come out for it. I have reported on marches throughout Mexico for fourteen years and this was the first time I had seen so many of these kinds of people at a protest; regular people, who had they been walking without their signs on any given day on any corner wouldn't necessarily draw one's attention due to their sheer and pleasant normalcy."

"Yesterday, multitudes took to the streets in more than 40 Mexican cities - and in protests by Mexicans and their friends at consulates and embassies in Europe, North America and South America - to demand an end to the violence wrought by the US-imposed "war on drugs." What? You haven't heard about this? Or if you have heard something about it, did you know that it is the biggest news story in the Mexican media, on the front page of virtually every daily newspaper in the country? A sea change has occurred in Mexican public opinion. The people have turned definitively against the use of the Mexican Army to combat against drug traffickers. The cry from every city square yesterday was for the Army to return to its barracks and go back to doing the job it was formed to do; protect Mexico from foreign invasion and provide human aid relief in case of natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Since President Felipe Calderón unleashed the Armed Forces, four years ago, to combat drug trafficking organizations, the violence between it and the competing narco organizations has led to a daily body count, widespread human rights abuses against civilians, and more than 40,000 deaths, so many of them of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and used by all sides in the armed conflict that still has no winners, that never will have any winner."

The smell of rain. Never before have I loved and appreciated it more than life in the Mojave. The feel of it on my skin is exquisite. <3
Using the women's room in the pitch black was...interesting. Batteries in my headlamp are dead, unfortunately.

The power has gone out in my office 3 times this morning. This provides excellent justification for not being productive. :D

Monarch butterflies have suffered a 17-year decline. This photo shows them blanketing trees in northern Mexico during the winter. The patches of forest covered in monarchs have been steadily shrinking. See Science News for details.
