yoga, books, movies, tv & too many crime procedurals – not necesarily in that order
I’m not sure that the health profession is actively trying to kill women, but it sure seems like it. This, coupled with the increased age recommendation on mammograms is disturbing. Maybe they’re assuming that HPV will be limited because of the vaccination but I’m pretty sure all the disclaimers talking about NOT protecting from ALL strains. WTF. According to the new cervical/pap recommendations – had they been in place in the 90s- I’d be dead now. Again I say WTF.
I can get all the Sarah Palin crazy after it’s happened and I don’t have to actually suffer through it myself. My google reader is chock full of clips and highlights. Yay technology!

In other political news, I’m not sure what the big stink about Obama bowing to the Emperor of Japan is about. 1. It’s not about subservience, it’s about respect. 2. As an elderly man, he’d be entitled to that respect REGARDLESS of his title. In addition: Nixon bowed to MAO for FUCK’S SAKE and Bush bowed to Hirohito’s coffin. I’m not really sure how showing respect to someone who HASN’T actively tried to destroy the US compares at all negatively. Not only that, we’re still standing. WTF.

Raising the age limit on mammograms? As I’ve got a 30% chance of getting it, that decision gets no love from me. In addition, my mom’s life was probably saved by a mammogram in her40s. Lucky for me, I’m sure this decision means my insurance company won’t cover mammograms until I’m 50 – despite the fact that I’ve had one every year since I turned 28. Thanks, male doctors!
Lady Gaga and Beyonce? The world might end.
Today is Cranberry Sauce Adventure day! I’m also cutting out coupons since I’ve got to drive down the mountain tomorrow. I’m amassing a decently sized donation box for the local church, which makes me happy.
