I'm a little annoyed :( there is no Buycott app in the Google Play store
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
apparently it was more popular than they expected and they had to pull the Android app....sounds like they want it to go back soon, though.

Today I'm taking a bus ride with a reporter who's living in and writing about East Oakland for the Tribune. He's not from here & wants to learn about Oakland as it was, how it's changed. I'm excited to be part of his project but I hope he doesn't want to take pictures of me :-)
Sounds like fun. He's in for a treat spending the day with Mandy.

:-) our buddy George Kelly made the introduction, B. Honored he thought of me, but worried I won't be interesting, lol.

Oh thats a nice story line there.. I just spent 15min on the entry "Felix the Cat" !!
- Peter Dawson
Felix Mitchell has become Oakland's version of a Stagolee-type outlaw hero (I was a teenager but I thought his funeral was a shameful spectacle. Most Oaklanders feel the same way). He spread money around the hood, yeah, but he was a lowlife crook.

It was fun, just a bus ride chatting about Oakland with a nice guy & a photog taking pictures. I don't know what he's gonna get out of my ramblings, but it should be published I think tomorrow, so we shall see :-)

Give George my best, Mandy. Not having any luck with the article on my Nook. Will check tumblr in a bit.

I hate the way I look on the videos, all that fat isn't on my face when I look in the mirror.

“I like the evolution,” she said, “I get nostalgia for the way things used to be — I’d go into that Rexall and my mom would buy me a coloring book if I was good — but change is good, too.” And this ladies and gentlemen is one of the reasons I love Mandy so.
- MoTO #TeamMonique
Ha, he didn't include what I said about the Rexall now being a Mexican grocery with bins of nopales outside - which led to my "change is good" comment :-)

It might not be unusual for schoolchildren to write to the president or vice president. But one Wisconsin boy got an unexpectedly personal response from Vice President Joe Biden.

Happy Sunday just for you day. This year I was not bothered like prior years. It was usually a reminder of my failure more than any celebration.

Someone brought us a bag of Church's biscuits. It's like free crack for dopefiends. I ate three, Jayden ate like five I think. There's some left, told him he could eat em for breakfast. He'll prolly dream about them tonight.
One of the many things that suck about monitoring blood glucose is the fact that I either don't get enough blood & have to keep sticking myself, or I keep bleeding after I've disposed of the cotton ball & get blood all over everything.
I'm not sure about this, but was told not to prick the same spot/area too often, as you may lose sensitivity in this area over time, so you should try to use different fingers/spots. But please don't quote me on this, as I'm not sure how accurate that is. Janet, is there any truth to that?
- Halil
Not certain Halil, I tend to use the same spot and after 6 years it still hurts!
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Yeah, I alternate fingers, sides of the fingers, hands. It all sucks. But good news: every time I test the numbers are lower.

Went to The Comic Shop & picked up some free titles. Also got Yu-Gi-Oh cards he has to earn, a Sonic the Hedgehog archives collection (kids comics & books were 10% off today!), and some 8-sided dice he said he HAS to have. Then we got pizza to bring home. In Jayden's world, today has been a 10+++.
the smile definitely shows the 10+++!
- imabonehead
They have a Sonic the Hedgehog Monopoly game! It's $40, I told Jayden I'll think about it for his birthday or Christmas.

My neighbor is white, and has black children, grandkids, cousins etc. She uses the word "nigga" constantly. Even when addressing her grandkids, sometimes.
I've tried pulling her coat about how she sounds but she don't care, & I guess no one in her family is tripping (they all use the word, sometimes multiple times in one sentence).

I hate it, no matter who's saying it. But when a white person uses it it's ugliest.

And yet somehow you also get the young Twitterers who were shocked to learn that "Titanic" wasn't a work of fiction.

That can't be because Lord of the Rings is our real prehistory.

It's probably very confusing that it's actually kind of based on history. s/Lancaster/Lannister/ s/York/Stark/ — although the dragons should probably be a give-away.
- Victor Ganata
There is a thread going on a professional list serve of interesting questions we've been asked in public libraries - at least one human being has walked into a library requesting photographs of dragons. Don't underestimate the crazy in the general population.
- WebGoddess
I can't wait to read on Wikipedia how the Tudor dynasty was established after Henry VII and his flight of dragons invaded and captured London, and how New York was previously called New Winterfell.
- Victor Ganata
The idea of Komodo dragons hurtling through the sky makes me LOL, but I suppose PETA would probably not be amused.

Oh, I knew it wasn't real because.... those platinum blond locks, Khaleesi, really? -- fakeity faketastic FAKE!

I remember in high school talking to someone who was convinced that living in mid-evil times would be so much better, so much simpler, and so much more grand. Then I asked about the Plague and indoor plumbing.
