Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

Priss was reading an old copy of Cosmo on the living room floor earlier. Since she had felt the need to jump up on a cabinet (despite being told "NO" numerous times on previous occasions) to chew on a plant and ended up knocking over said plant and getting dirt and water all over some pictures, I felt the need to disturb her reading. Actually she was just lying on it but I'm pretty sure if she could read, she'd have been thumbing through it.

Anyway, I can't say as I've read Cosmo before. My impression of it had always been girly girls needing info on how to get a man, make a man happy, please him, trap him and marry him. With page after page after page about sex. Yeah, sad to say that my stereotypical thoughts were, in fact, correct. Good to be vindicated though.

The only good thing about the magazine (other than disturbing Priss and that I didn't spend any money on it) is that there was a two page article about things to do to lessen your carbon footprint. I was going to say real article but there are prolly lots of women who think the crap other articles are useful.

Sure the article was short (it wasn't talking about pleasing your man, after all) and contained stuff I already knew (setting your thermostat to 70 instead of 68 in the summer & 68 instead of 70 in the winter can save about 2,000 pounds of CO2 a year, for example) but that's cool. At least it was in there. Hopefully a plethora of people read it and made changes accordingly.

What? You didn't think I could turn an entry about a cat tormenting a plant and reading Cosmo into an entry about Global Warming? Please. I've got mad skills! (yo)
