I decided that my princess dress was a bit frumpy, so my Halloween costume got a bit…creative. Pleather skirt and battle axe. I’m whatever kind of princess that I want to be. Also got a bit carried away with the gold glitter dust.

The reality of our industrial society is that we need a lot of power to keep it afloat. Certain changes may give us increases in efficiency, but it still takes a lot of energy to heat homes, forge steel, build infrastructure, transport people and whip lattes. Solar just can’t cut it. Wind, hydro and geo can, unless you don’t have wind, hydro or geo, then you’re caught in an awkward tug of war between unrealistic green expectations.
So to fill that non-green void you basically have the options of coal, natural gas and nuclear, and nuclear is the favorite whipping boy.
It just kills me to see the coal industry dump all the poisonous, radioactive waste they want while tree huggers protest nuclear power, anxiously waiting for the energy fairy to break the laws of thermodynamics.
It’s not that I don’t agree with researching and (when available/appropriate) harnessing renewable energy, it’s that I don’t think ignoring our current energy needs is an option.
Which is to say, I’m not a tree hugger, I’m a forest hugger.

Once upon a time I was at a convention and someone asked Randy Mililholland of Something Positive to draw them something. He asked what they’d like and they said “whatever”. He then drew them a singing penis. This was the most amazing thing that I had ever seen. From then on, I was mesmerized by the idea of a wide eyed, innocent singing penis. One little baby tooth and big watery eyes that would do Bambi proud.
It only took three months to get the stolen AC units replaced.
What’s terrifying is that the only part that I made up in these quotes is that I added “real” and “fake”. I did make up the conversation with the guy in the waiting room though.
