T O P I C S:

• Rumor has it that KONY is founded by the government (or the CIA) and was just a public front for the US. All we really want is oil, of course. CONSPIRACY! But it makes sense.
• Sugar, a cat in boston, jumped out of it's owner's apartment from the 19th story. that's about 150 feet. She landed on her feet in a patch of moss with only a couple of bruises. How awesome is that?
• This is the first time I'm a part of a fandom of a book series turned mega movie hit...The Hunger Games! Haven't seen the film yet, but I'm totally bothered by theracist tweets and comments about the black characters in the movie. Collins mentions the skin color of two out of the three characters in question, Rue and Thresh. As for Cinna, can we really believe that's the name of a white person? Come on America! We still have a ways to go for equality.
• I'm convinced that I should home school my future children. Schools in London are starting to ban best friends, A school in NJ bans hugging, and a school in Texas bans a cerebral palsy girl from using her walker BECAUSE SHE FELL IN THE PARKING LOT.SERIOUSLY?
