Sunday Sunday Sunday!

I'm at my parents' house watching Deadliest Catch. Patches is resting by my feet with her head on my knee (I'm sitting cross-legged), I'm full of pizza, Bekah's at work at her new job at the mall, David is out with his girlfriend picking up his motorcycle from... somewhere... and I just may swear off of crab forever after watching this show.

I'm starting my job search in earnest tomorrow. It's kind of exciting, but a little intimidating.

Intimidating like-- well like when you were given an assignment in school to write a paper about anything, provided that it was at least a certain length when you were finished. I can take a job where I do anything, provided that I earn at least a certain amount.

Aaahhh!! Too open-ended!!

Patches has shifted with me. She's now resting her head on my ankle. I love having a dog around.

Rehearsals for "Wait Until Dark" start tomorrow night at Bucketworks. Don't know what time yet, though. Hm. The show will be good, I think. I only know who four of the cast members are (including myself), but as long as we do our thing and we do it well, and as long as Mark Hooker has enough of a hand in it (it seems it's being guest directed...), it'll be good.

Is crab really tasty enough to warrant people subjecting themselves to jobs like the ones in this show? Mercy mercy me...

Nice Outfit... but maybe just a little too much information. While I admit I imagine people in their underwear and sometimes even fantasize about, I'm somewhat uncomfortable knowing the exact details. ;)

Luckily those aren't really exact details. ;D

It's Swadhyaya, I'm too lazy to log in.
Getting animals to become food is not a safe process for any human involved. Being a crabber is no more dangerous than working in most meat packing plants. While a crabber may risk getting swept overboard, slaughterhouse employees face long-term degeneration of their health, including skin lesions from constant contact with blood and hot water, respiratory infections from inhaling bleach used to sanitize the floors and equipment, damage to limbs such as crushing or mutilating in machinery-crabbin' ain't nothin' to slaughterhouses.
The truly disgusting part is that we comfortable folk don't care to think about how that crab or that steak got to be on our hot grills in our big yards in our nice neighborhoods. If we did, we'd all be eatin' eggplant steaks from our own gardens...if we could eat at all, after letting the guilt sink in.

Vegetarian much?

The one that gets me is-- what kind of animal was it? I think it was a hog slaughterhouse where workers were inhaling particulate matter from the crunched up brains of sick pigs, and in turn going a little nutso themselves.

*shudder*

I can barely stand to breathe in air after someone near me has belched, let alone breathe in air in a space where critters are being smashed up. How did they not think of respiratory masks sooner?
