There. Now I have no excuses.

I went grocery shopping for the first time in something like three weeks today. I'm trying to cut some of the crap out of my diet, at least for a little while, using the short-term diet I use all the time when I feel like I need to get back into shape again. It's basically fruits, veggies, chicken, yogurt, and oatmeal/grits, spread out in little meals all day, and I get to drink all the water and tea (hot or iced) I want. The only junk food I bought was Cheetos, low-fat fudgsicles, and two bottles of Pepsi, all of which I'm only allowed to have as long as I'm writing.

That and exercise and I narrow down nicely. :)

5 Stupid Health Campaigns That Backfired (Hilariously)

*

I'm so tired right now I'm really tempted to just skip SPN and Harper's Island tonight but ... you know, SPN and Harper's Island. I'm not missing that shit, y'all.

SPN is a re-run, if that helps? Soooo looking forward to HI. Hi, Bobby, hi!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought that episode was this week. *headsmack*

HI is like everything my little fannish heart desires. My favorite thing is STILL that the Wiki entry has, like, a chart set up to check off who dies and who lives through each episode, like it's a reality show or something.

HEE! I might have to go print that out before the episode starts.

From the health campaigns link (which I like the "stupid" better than the word they used, which makes me grit my teeth):

They are often referred to as "Baby Moses Laws" after the ancient story of Baby Moses being left in a wicker basket hidden in tall grass to keep him from being slain by the Israelites.

Wow, fail at the wording there. It took me three times reading through to read it any way other than them claiming the Israelites were going to kill Moses. Which, uhm, no. (other than that, another great link. I just came back from a Good Friday service, though, and that one grated a little)

"Safe haven" laws are nothing new, they just say that a parent can drop their infant child off at any hospital with no questions asked, if for some reason they feel they are not fit to care for the child. They are often referred to as "Baby Moses Laws" after the ancient story of Baby Moses being left in a wicker basket hidden in tall grass to keep him from being slain by the Israelites. The current safe haven laws are in place for the exact same reason, except these days the "Israelites" are called "shitty moms who throw their kids in dumpsters," as adorably depicted in the photo below.
