I had a lady a couple days ago start breast feeding her kid in the kitchen at my job while I was standing there. I put my head down fixing my food and said "I'm trying to get out of here", and she said "oh, I don't mind if you don't". I just felt really awkward. I can't just act like it's a normal thing, because it's not for me.

I don't really see that much of an issue with it either. If the baby's gotta feed, then the baby's gotta feed. I'd prefer that they be discreet about it, and can see why they might not want to feed in a bathroom, but if it's not an option, and there isn't a coverup available, so long as you're not flaunting it, I don't see that much of an issue. And as I understand it, breast feeding doesn't fall under the public indecency statutes in 28/50 states, and 45 states allow women to breast feed in public and in private (source).

Pretty much that, yeah.

I just finished reading The Hunger Games. I wasn't as impressed as I hoped to be after hearing so much about it. For a book about kids being forced to fight to the death, it didn't have much action. We don't even get to hear about most of the deaths since Katniss spent most of her time in hiding. I also thought the ending was really weak. They are so going to dumb down the movie though.

So, it was good, but nothing special? :P I disagree with you on both your points, but to each their own.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. May your coming year be a wonderful thing in which you dream both dangerously and outrageously. I hope you will make something that didn’t exist before you...... made it, that you will be loved and you will be liked and you will have people to love and to like in return. And most importantly, because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now – I hope that you will, when you need to, be wise and that you will always be kind. And I hope that somewhere in the next year you surprise yourself.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever." - Neil Gaiman
