General update and a smidgen of politics
Two of my favorite online comics met in a delicious combination when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beatonna guest-stripped (ha!) for Penny Arcade yesterday. Awesome.
miischelle's Conditioning for Bellydance class last night was a million shades of fantastic. I couldn't believe how fast the hour went by. It drove home how stupid I've been, forcing myself to exercise in ways that make me unhappy. For god's sake, why haven't I just been doing dance drills and dance-related calisthenics? Stupid, stupid, stupid. When I got home last night, I spent an hour and a half shifting things around in the sewing room so I could lay down the 4 x 6 exercise mat in the area that will be in front of the mirror. Which will get hung up. This week. I'm also thinking of making my own weighted hip belt. So! Promise! Progress!
The eating issues are getting weird(er), though. My standard way of eating is just not working anymore. Mentally and physiologically, I'm having serious problems. I'm unhappy with what I'm eating, and I'm having unusual physical side effects. I've been considering some alternative ways of eating, and I'm getting sucked into this Primal Blueprint stuff thatadammaker and royal_spice are talking about. The website for Sisson's book is kind of cheesy, but I very much like his blog. I requested a copy of the book through Interlibrary Loan, but I should just order it just ordered it. I like that I can buy a copy directly from him through his website. The Primal style appeals to me more than trying vegetarianism again. Which should tell you how miserable I am with my food/eating issues right now, that I was considering going back there. Not that there's anything wrong with vegetarianism, it just was not for me--and I did it for six years.
I don't often bring up politics, but non-censorship is a big deal for me. Net Neutrality is in the spotlight again. CREDO mobile has an online form to show your support. It irritates me that they need to namedrop certain crazily rabid Republican icons and television stations to push the cause. Text of their message, with the parts that annoyed me edited out:
One of crazily rabid Republican name removed's latest conspiracies involves a "gang of communists" who want to turn the Internet into a "Marxist utopia." That dangerous gang of communists he's warning a certain group of people against? They're net neutrality supporters.
Crazily rabid Republican name removed has it all wrong: Net neutrality protects -- not threatens -- free speech online. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet users, not Internet service providers, should be in control. It ensures that Internet service providers can't speed up, slow down, or block Web content based on its source, ownership, or destination.
The FCC is accepting public comments until Thursday, April 8, on a proposed regulation that would protect net neutrality. Will you join me in saying that you won't be fooled by scare tactics and that you support an open Internet? Just click here to get started.
