Being home for Thanksgiving

Published

4 years, 1 month ago

I’m home this weekend for a meet-and-greet with my family. I love them to bits, they’re great, but thank god that I don’t have to live with them any more. They’re fun but they drive me insane with their habits, their styles of living and their middle-class clutter.

Everything is just too much around them.

It’s great to see them in short two-day chunks.

….I’m dreading Christmas.

Urgh. Should write online more. Spend less time at work, more time online… right?

I think Margaret Cho’s piece during her hosting of Outfest (a show) on Wisecrack (a standup comedy series) on LOGO (a tv network) was hilarious. She manages to describe and define the issues about which she’s joking in a way that no other contemporary comedians around seem capable. The video is definitely worth watching, unless you are a huge fan of the Pope’s dresses. In that case you might find this a little bit on the offensive side. I don’t think Cho’s a huge fan of the Pope’s input on social matters. In case you’re in that offended camp, you may want some boules Quiès.

Right now the United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate of any developed nation. Although this teen pregnancy rate has decreased dramatically since the 1970s, recent years have seen that rate become stagnant.

Indeed, as of 2004, 13 states experienced either an increase in teen birth rates or stagnant teen birth rates, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data also showed that one in seven girls who are 14 and younger will experience an unintended pregnancy, and one in three women will have an unintended pregnancy by age 20.
