* I attended Planned Parenthood's Roe v. Wade Gala last night. We celebrated the opening of the Aurora clinic - the nation's largest reproductive health clinic. The protesters and town council members kept saying, "but there's no need for this center." Oh really? Then explain the nearly 2,000 health center visits since the clinic opened in October of 2007.
* On a related note that necessitated it's own asterisk, one of the Aurora visitors was a woman who traveled by bus across 2 states to seek health care because it was her best option. That is simply disgusting. That any member of this nation has to cross 2 states just to receive safe, legal, non-judgmental healthcare is absolutely shameful. Wondering why I care about reproductive justice? Look no further than this example.
* I promised some unrelated news, so how about this: Paradise Hotel is back! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this show, it is a reality show about a random group of people at an amazing hotel. The rules are really hazy, because the producers basically do whatever they want to ensure that fan favorites win - but there are eliminations and challenges and shack ups. Basically it is a mixture of Big Brother, Survivor, Real World, and Temptation Island (which was the best reality show ever, oh how I miss Temptation Island). So, yeah, I am ridiculously excited for this show to be back.
* Speaking of television - Rob & Big continues to be the funniest show on TV (adventures with mini horses and bull dogs and skateboarding, oh my!) and the newest installment of "The Gauntlet" is absolutely fantastic. Both are on MTV. Yes I am a huge loser for advertising these things, but they are so freaking entertaining. Should I be worried that my brain matter will begin leaking out of my ears soon?
* Finally, if you heard about a shapely hand-held massaging tool marketed towards women, you would think vibrator, right? I mean, it only makes sense. And you would be wrong you pervert. Clearly such a description fits Neutrogena's newest face wash accessory, "the wave." Umm, yes. I think I need one.

Do you feel the need to balance out your professional awesomeness with this entertainment-related garbage? Hehehee - just kidding, Rob & Big does rock, Temptation Island was awesome, and I've never really heard of the Paradise Hotel or The Gauntlet, so I shouldn't pass judgment.
And why is the Wave only aimed at women? Men don't need deep facial cleaning? Sheesh.
Men don't appreciate the vibrations. They are fine with just a tissue. Or a hand towel.
Yes, that was intended to be ooky.
