Daryl Hannah is totally cool!

really -- I had no idea. i was checking out AmandaAcrossAmerica, which led me to hannah's site, dhlovelife.com. learned about the very cool Southcentral Farmers, who until recently cultivated 350 community farms in what was formerly nothing more than a South-Central LA wasteland (and, which is, sadly, on the way to becoming one again).

check out d's video-blog on mushroom expert, paul stamets. (did you know that common button mushrooms -- those plain, white "snow" mushrooms you can find in any grocery store -- as well as trendy portabellas, contain the same dangerous carcinogens as those produced when you smoke cigarettes??!! stick with the shitakes!)

good thing they aren't attorneys.....

'cuz their argument sucks -- hear about this? there's this restaurant in Tempe, AZ, called The Heart Attack Grill, that uses a Hooter's-style gimmick of having their waitresses wear naughty nurse uniforms as they serve up such items as the Quadruple Bypass Burger and Flatliner Fries to customers. so, a bunch of nurses started complaining, and the whole thing has culminated in the AZ Board of Nursing sending the owner a letter informing him that only real nurses can be called nurses........

anyway -- here's the argument made by some brilliant administrator: "Nurses are the most sexually fantasized-about profession," said Sandy Summers, executive director of the Center for Nursing Advocacy, based in Baltimore. "We're asking people, if they're going to have these fantasies, please don't make it so public. Move these sexual fantasies to other professions."

apparently, it's not OK with the nurses for their profession to be objectified, but it IS OK with them if other professions are.

hmmmmmm. like, say, attorneys, maybe??

you, uh, want some fries with that shake??
