Panties in a bunch

So I've got my panties in a bunch right now, so I'm venting it on here, sorry...
It's one thing to be exposed to racism, we all are; it's another to pass it on. When you pass a racist email/video/whatever on, whether you mean it or not you're supporting it, you're putting your stamp of approval on it. I don't care if you think it's funny, you look like an idiotic bigot, and you lose my respect. That's all.

Vanguard

I've recently found something I love on hulu...blessings of the normal season being over. Anyway, Vanguard is a news/documentary show that does unconventional investigative reporting on worldwide issues, some known, most unknown. The reporters who got arrested in North Korea last year were reporters for the show.

So far I've watched shows on OxyContin dealing in Florida, prison politics, prison gangs, tour of Gitmo, trying to popularize toilets in third-world countries and it's kind of addicting. I love the new perspectives and seeing problems and issues that are out there and other people struggle with. Just wanted to share it. :)

FYI though, there is some language occasionally because it's a cable show.

Poor Pieter...

First of all let me start out, poor, poor Pieter. Let me say it again, poor, poor Pieter.

So Pieter cut his own hair on his mission and I've been cutting his hair since we got married. I usually do a pretty good job...usually. Two nights ago was the exception, definitely the exception. Pieter had mentioned that he needed me to trim the back but I'm having a really busy week so it was after midnight before I had time. So I was doing the back but then noticed that there was a patch on the top that needed to be evened up...so without thinking, , I took care of it...

A bald spot appeared and the two of us gasped in horror. I forgot to put the guard back on!

With me frantically appologizing, we did the only thing we could do...shaved him bald...well almost...less than 1/16 of an inch.

Seriously, I did the dumbest thing I could have ever done, I feel so bad! I'm pretty sure I'm firing myself from cutting his hair again for a long, long time.

On the positive side, you really notice his eyes more!

Dear Future Home...

I think I want these for my future house...particularly the first and the last one :)
