trawling the internet

ugh - wading through anti abortion drivel to find comments reflecting public opinion on sex ed tailored to international students is...mind numbing at best, painful at worst.
I promised myself a dip in the pool once i'd fininshed, but this media analysis looks set to bore me to sleep.

A few years back, I'd get all irritated and indignant at the responses I'm reading, "sex education encourages sex, blah blah blah" ... but today, today (perhaps because of tiredness) I just feel bored with it all.

It's tedious, monotonous, repetitive, boring, and often untrue.

Please, bore someone else with your dogma.

It's uter-US Marge, not uter-YOU

Procrastination is such a great motivator. I've won countless games of online scrabble, shopped for the perfect gift for Nick and now found a knitting pattern for a uterus.

















It's from a website called Knitty, and it's kinda cute..
however, it does look disturbingly similar to those creepy little hearts they sell at ikea, you know, the kind that vaguely resembles a snotty toddler just DYING to whipe its epic boogers all over your face?




Only, you know, MUCH more functional.

The pattern can be found at
