In the latest Fox News survey, respondents were asked, “Would you be willing to give up some of your personal freedom in order to reduce the threat of terrorism?” For the first time since 9/11, more of those polled said no than said yes.

A dirty house means a clean conscience. Actually, that doesn’t make any sense.
The city announced the biggest expansion of its recycling program in 25 years on Wednesday, saying all hard plastics would be accepted. This includes shampoo bottles and clothes hangers as well as countless toys and other household objects.

- rigid plastic non-food containers
- rigid plastic packaging (“blister-pak” and “clamshell” consumer packaging, acetate boxes)
- rigid plastic housewares (flower pots, mixing bowls, plastic appliances, etc.)
- bulk rigid plastic (crates, buckets, pails, furniture, large toys, large appliances, etc.)

I’ve listened to two Fresh Air segments this month that included clips from the guests previous interviews in the 90’s: David Sedaris and director Noah Baumbach. In both instances, there was talk about how it’s interesting now to think of where they were coming from at that time because they didn’t know all the things that were going to happen to them and how they were about to change.
I like the thought of myself today and how I don’t know all of the great things that are going to happen next. It also reminds me of the articles from the beginning of this year about how we always underestimate how much we will change in the future.

Speaking of being nostalgic about high school in 2001, Josie and the Pussycats was a pretty good movie that gave me red flippy hair inspiration for years.
Here’s to Never Growing Up, Avril Lavigne
I just watched this to keep some awareness of pop music, and am confused by it enough to feel convinced that maybe I am grown-up.
- She’s wearing a tie and wifebeater like her first record, and a Radiohead Kid A shirt—is my era of being in high school in 2001 and loving Kid A while secretly liking Sk8ter Boi when it was on TRL something that kids today actually get nostalgic about and want to see in music videos?
- Do high school kids actually sing Radiohead at the top of their lungs?
- Has Avril Lavigne always sung with Alanis Morissette-style ornamentation?
Happy Kirkday! @kirksphoto
