Was potentially falling into pissyness again, but went out and cruised some blogs and found out a way to measure my true worth: HumanForSale.com – oh Happy Noodles! According to them, I am worth “exactly: $2,544,684.00.” I feel so much better about myself now. I could sell myself on eBay, thus driving up my price by a factor of at least two or three, and retire to a small private island to spend the rest of my days writing transcendent novels and glimmering poetry. My gratitude (and acceptance speech) goes out to imaZine, without whom I would never have realized my true potential worth.

An interesting if slanted POV on the legitimacy of the Palestinian claims to nationhood – fails utterly to take into account the rise of nationalistic consciousness among placed and displaced peoples of the world in the late 18th and early 19th century.

I’m an aunt again!!!!! My sis-in-law gave birth to a bouncing baby boy – Alexander Robert – at four-ish this morning. Vital stats: 7 lbs. 6 oz, 20 3/4 ” long, hearing and vision and all Apgars in the wonderful zone! Yay!!!! I get to go see him tonight – my boss, is again, totally cool. He told me to leave even earlier than I was asking to go see the new squirt while he’s still fresh out of the bag. HAAPPYYYY!!!!!!!!

On another, slightly more salacious note, thanks again to Mark Morford of the Morning Fix for this wonderful bit of farmer-bondage animation ;->
