Happy New Year! Yeah I know I'm almost 6 days late... Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I've been really busy lately. Actually, that's a lie. I've just been really lazy lately. Here's an update of some random info in no particular order:
It's an exciting time for the New Jerseyans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. "The New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee today passed S-709, the death penalty moratorium bill. The vote was 4-2. Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein and Assemblymen Patrick Diegnan, Peter Barnes, and Alfred Steele voted yes on the bill. Assemblymen Chistopher Connors and Michael Carroll voted against it. There is one step left in the legislative process before the bill is sent to Governor Codey's desk. This coming Monday at 11AM, the full Assembly is scheduled to vote on the moratorium bill. " [quoted from Celeste Fitzgerald's (NJADP's Executive Chair) e-mail] If you live in NJ, please contact your two legislators tonight or Friday and tell them to please support S-709, the death penalty study and moratorium bill." Find out who to contact here.
On a much lighter side... I watched all of Home Movies: Season 3 over the past few days. It quite simply kicks ass. If you haven't seen Home Movies, check it out on the Cartoon Network (it airs during Adult Swim) or pick up one of the first 3 seasons on DVD. You will not be sorry -- I promise.
In other cartoon news... It seems that Fox might be interested in Futurama again! Futurama (my second favorite cartoon) was cancelled in 2003. Like Family Guy, which was also cancelled, Futurama's reruns are popular on the Cartoon Network and on DVD. Now Fox seems to be interested in reviving the series! woohoo!
Switching gears... I was checking out some of the blogs that I have linked to and noticed that The Prodigal Daughter was vegan-hating on Jan. 3rd: "he's holding a pair of shoes and looking at them. he looks to the sales-ass and says 'excuse me, are these vegan?' i wanted to swing my leather jacket in his face and say 'this is leather, made from a cow. we kill them because they're f*cking dumb, leather is cool, and meat tastes f*cking good!'" Ms. Daughter and I bonded over our locality -- but clearly not our moral beliefs. As a vegetarian, it can be pretty damn hard to find animal-friendly shoes -- I suggest Zappos.com which has a wide selection of vegetarian shoes. Here's what I'm currently wearing. Sorry for your poor service at the Vans store ... but don't vegan(or vegetarian)-hate! We're just like you, only more compassionate!
Anyway, i'm off to bed....... g'night!
