i've been kinda grumpy today. two things that have cheered me up: new lipgloss (yes, i'm afraid i'm completely girly when it comes to the curative powers of makeup) and these ads about the positive powers of eating red meat. in fact, i so adored the red meat campaign that i sent the link to zac, and he put a link up on his wonderful blog, datawhat.

also, i forgot to link to this last week when bruce w. sent it along to me, and i definitely want to share it: the canadian government (which they probably spell gouvernment) has issued a challenge to its citizens to reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions. no, i'm not secretly canadian, but i do think it's a good idea to take the challenge. of course, if you don't want to officially sign up (bruce w. decided it was easiest to list his province as "ontario" since that's nearest), you can just use the helpful calculator to see how much of an offender you are.
