I love long talks and debates. I enjoy music, food, cooking, public radio, board games, and coffee. I love [old] dresses, jewelry, farmer's markets, and cats.

I blog so that my family and friends have a better idea about what I'm thinking from day to day.

I'm in Bloomington working on my MPH. Almost done. :) I'm looking for jobs in NYC. Please help.

Meat consumption is an inefficient use of grain—the grain is used more efficiently when consumed by humans. Continued growth in meat output is dependent on feeding grain to animals, creating competition for grain between affluent meat-eaters and the world’s poor.

Look, I’m no longer a young male, but I used to be one, and let me self-report: being perpetually aroused is part and parcel of being in your middle teens. Anything and everything can arouse you, from a pretty girl to a stiff breeze to chewing gum. Part of growing up and maturing is learning how to turn off that arousal, how to ignore it and channel it and use it appropriately. Incidentally, though I’ve never been a young female, my memories tend to indicate that they, too, spend a good chunk of their middle teen years perpetually aroused. They just don’t act on it because if they do, they’re part of “America’s slut culture.” Hooray for patriarchy!

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…

…and you finish off as an orgasm.
