Merging work and life

Lately my life has been a realm of juxtaposition.

I recently finished writing an article detailing the many modern amenities available to those staying at Palmer Station on Antarctica, a contradiction to the picture your mind may paint of penguins and polar ice caps.

I’m currently writing a 20-page paper about the less-obvious differences between breast and ovarian cancers, attempting to discern why the former is so much more “popular,” when studied from a marketing standpoint.

This trend is apparently continuing into my personal life as I munch on the crackers I bought from Whole Foods in between bites of a Taco Bell burrito.

Rabbit revenge in New Zealand

The Easter Bunny has stopped visiting New Zealand.

And for good reason.

Each Easter for the past 20 years, farmers in the Alexandra area have participated in the Great Easter Bunny Hunt.

This year, the hunters blasted away roughly 23,000 furry little critters, retribution, they feel, for the varmints’ nibbling habbits.

Seems a little extreme to me …

Take part in a HuffPost Green poll if you want to share your disgust or your approval.

Veggie chips

In Boulder, where fitness reigns and spandex-clad could-be models strut, veggie chips are a favorite.

I  know you’re busy right now–we all are (Why do you think I just got done cleaning my bathroom and vacuuming my room? Two words: procrastination strategies.), but take a second and Google “veggie chips.” Here, I’ll help you out: click THIS.

It’s amazing! So many different brands of these dehydrated impersonations of something healthy.

Leave it to Americans to take a food group virtually calorie-less, inject some some air and a load of fat, slap on a label that reads “Veggie,” and call a product nutritional.

Oh dear …

If you have a spare second …

Come and check out the panel I’m moderating this morning (I know, kind of last minute notice).

It’s from 9-10:20 in the Atlas Black Box … I really have no idea where that is in Atlas, but I’m sure some knowledgeable individual at the Pekoe coffee shop will.

We’ll be discussing “Women Saving the Environment.” Should be great!

Question of the day

I have about one swipe of deodorant left and no sticks in reserve.

Here’s the question: Do I apply before going mountain biking, an activity in which I will undoubtedly sweat significantly.

OR, do I save the swipe for AFTER the ride, thereby ensuring a fresh aroma emanates from my person for the ensuing happy hour.

Thoughts?
