proctor and gamble boycott…

in addition to latraviata’s reasoning, there’s other thoughts behind boycotting P&G.

they have promised to pull back on some useless testing on animals, but there’s still a lot to be done.

check out peta.com for more information about the evils of animal testing, and how it doesn’t really help humans at all, much of the time.

In the Days of the Caveman – Crash test dummies

When you go on camping trips you’re stuck right out in nature
Foraging the forests like a primate, using sharpened tools instead of hotplates

Your thumb and forefinger supposed to show you’re not a wild beast
You can hear their noises at the night time, they don’t have to keep a certain bedtime

See in the shapes of my body leftover parts from the apes and monkeys

Sometimes when I lie awake I hear the rainfall on my tent fly
I think of all the insects that are sleeping and wonder if the animals are dreaming

See in the shapes of my body leftover parts from the apes and monkeys
In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then, no pyjamas or doctors

And when I finally get to sleep, I dream in technicolors
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age, alive and being fed inside a zoo cage

See in the shapes of my body leftover parts from the apes and monkeys

In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then, no pyjamas or doctors
In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then, no pyjamas or doctors

Monday, monday…

Slushies for lunch! yumm. Not lots to report since last time. 🙂 Kev got his b’day present from me finally, and I look forward to using it once he’s through. The beauty of giving video games. I don’t understand why so many people are getting let go from work these days… and they all seem to be swell folk too… Hopefully it’ll free them all up to find better jobs. small consolation though. *hugs* to Tangerinegirl, Cider, and sanssoucci. (and to anyone else who may be job searching.)

oh, by the way!

Last night at the Salty dog… it was interesting, if rather uneventful. Did something unusual, I drank a large quantity of beer. About 9. Had a conversation with a couple of folks who appeared intelligent, until they demanded to talk politics. feh. I opt out of that one, and play some pool with the only other neutral party in that debate, a guy named Mike. Nice fellow, a better pool player than I am. Apparently he has a band that plays at the pier on Tuesday nights (right across the street) so, I may go and see what the band is about… he says mostly cover stuff, but a couple of original bits.

Got a few lovely invites over the past week. Cathi & Dave want me, little Bro, and Robb to come over for the 5th annual gourd-slaughter and knifing in a few weeks. I never seem to make it to that, for some reason… hopefully, with 2 buddies reminding me about it, it’ll be doable this time around.

I missed seeing Cider out and about online this weekend. 🙁 I hope she’ll poke a nose in soon.
