So, yesterday night at Faith Formation, we put out 3,300 white flags with stamped feet that the 1st-5th graders made earlier that morning. They represent all of the unborn babies who are aborted in one day alone in our country. Its astounding how much a visual aid changes your perception of such a tragically large number. Pray for these poor souls so that this terrible atrocity on human life can end.

Tumblr is in hot water with unions over alleged use of non-union carpenters inside of its digs. For that supposed trangression, the company is being slammed in fliers, and now, apparently, haunted by a large rodent.

According to a report in BetaBeat “the union is targeting Tumblr because the company hired Cooper Works Inc., a non-union contractor that ‘does not meet area labor standards in terms of good wages and benefits.’”

 Business Insider managed to snag a photo of the thing:

wired:

Earlier this week the University of Chicago received what might be an elaborate hoax, a miracle, or the best college admissions application of all time: Abner Ravenwood’s journal from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The journal came in a package addressed to Henry Walton Jones, Jr. but wasn’t sent through the U.S. mail — its stamps are fake. It’s a near-perfect replica of the journal Indiana Jones uses in Raiders, but it’s not the real deal – Lucasfilm also doesn’t know its origins — and the university has absolutely no idea how it found its way into Rosenwald Hall, which houses the school’s admissions department and where the staff initially thought it was just a piece of mail meant for a professor that got lost on the way.

“This package was a little perplexing because we couldn’t find the staff member or the professor [it was intended for] in the directory,” Garrett Brinker, director of undergraduate outreach for the university, said in an interview with Wired. “So that’s when the plot thickened.”

My Weekend

  • Me:

    Yay! It's the weekend.

  • Me within ten minutes of my Dad being home:

    Ugh, it's the weekend.

  • What my Dad does every weekend:

    Finds the first few things he can think of that I did wrong (ie. Messy bedroom, not eating something that he himself isn't eating because he doesn't like it, etc.) and takes the first five things that he can see / think of for the next week.

  • Next Weekend:

    Repeat

R.I.P to the victims who were so cruelly taken from us today in Connecticut. We lost twenty seven adults and children today, along with another 22 in china. I cant even express how disappointed I am with the world. One of the worst days in history, many people lost friends, family and children. Rest In Peace you beautiful people, meet you in heaven. <3

Puzzle of the day… 12/14/12

Why would somebody come home and go to his old elementary school to kill the principle, the psychiatrist, his mother, and a classroom full of 5 year olds for no apparent reason? Oh, and keep in mind that the initial confrontation was broadcasted aloud the intercom because they were in the middle of the morning announcements. That entire school of 600 is going to be broken and screwed up for the rest of their natural lives.

Give me 3 good reasons and you win life.

  • Me:

    I think I should read the latest on the CT school shooting.

  • Later:

    After reading some new price of information, I say to myself that I didn't need to hear that.

  • Even Later:

    I think I should read the latest on the CT school shooting.

  • *You would think that I would learn after a few repetitions of this.
