Pledge-a-Picketer
Oct. 11th, 2008 05:22 amhttp://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/10/10/125151/87/93/626397">How one woman reacted to protestors outside her local Planned Parenthood. Aww... That makes me all warm and fuzzy.
Preterm, the clinic I'll be at later this morning, runs a Pledge-a-Picketer campaign. It's a tactic I'm really fond of -- turns the antis activities back on them, without running up against the fine lines on freedom of expression. It's also been used to good effect by GLBT centers targeted by Phelps and his lot.
Oy. It's 5:30am. I've been up since about 4, and I really need to get back to sleep for a bit before I have to be at the clinic at 7:45. I'm with Casey today, though, which means a ride, and excellent company. And I'm at Preterm, not the Center, which means shade. Yay!
Dad's doing the phone upgrades for our family plan. I'm getting a Blackberry Curve! Yay!
This has been a week of sleep deprivation, brokeness, and medical worries, but it's actually been quite good all 'round. Lots of good company;![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
may_dryad, syrinx_77, Casey, Bill, calebbullen, our couchsurfer Libby. Other than hanging out, I've been utterly sucked into the election; it's been a fascinating week, and I've acknowledged that my interest in what's going on is really approaching sports fan level -- aside from all the really important stuff, the little trivialities of who's "scoring points", who's on the injured list, etc, etc... It's all really entertaining me (of course, it's a lot easier to enjoy that element when things are looking good for the eventual outcome).
I'm waiting on a puzzle from eBay -- finished the dragon a few days back, although I haven't pulled it off the porta-puzzle yet. I'm semi-seriously considering getting a pizza spatula, or whatever it's called, to make that easier. Too many of the puzzles I do have odd-shaped pieces and don't hold together remarkably well.
Currently reading Your Inner Fish, which is quick and short, but remarkably full of fascinating ideas and info; I'm enjoying it immensely. Actually originally heard about it due to The Colbert Report -- the author did a remarkably good and funny job holding his own against Colbert while explaining some relatively complex concepts.
Also, the house is clean, Caleb moves in this weekend, I have Netflix coming, and a giant stack of fascinating library books to work through. I also have three books I set aside at Visible Voice, although I can't collect those 'til payday next week.
Oh, and lemon bars from Civ. Yum. Have two more in the fridge.
OK, going to try to get an hour nap before Casey gets here.
