Cooking. For spite.
Things are busy at work, OK at home. I've got WFC coming up this Friday. Juggling some writing projects.
Going to bed now.

What I'm Doing Tonight
Good Cancer-Lovin' Fun
A new vaccine that protects against cervical cancer has set up a clash between health advocates who want to use the shots aggressively to prevent thousands of malignancies and social conservatives who say immunizing teenagers could encourage sexual activity.
"Teenagers" is actually code for:
GIRLS. Women. Female. Just wanted to remind everybody that boys don't get cervical cancer. In this case, gender-neutral "teenager" might throw you off.
Oddly, nobody's talkin' bout withholding a cancer vaccine from all those young hoodlum boys on Prom night!
And people say women are all "paranoid" and shit about all that religion mixin' with women's health services.
Why oh why could that be?

The Happy Clitoris
She (Dr. O'Connell) first became interested in the anatomy of the clitoris as a urology trainee when she realized preserving sexual function in women having pelvic surgery was pure guesswork. In contrast, the retention of sexual function in men undergoing prostate removal was paramount.
"There was no description of the clitoris in the main textbook that was being used to prepare surgeons in training. There was no diagram, and in the diagram of the pelvis no clitoris was evident," O'Connell says.
The clitoris needs more lovin'.

So Much For the Boy's Club
What was that I was saying about marketing to men and women, again?
Majority of UK SciFi Channel viewers are women
The UK Sci-Fi channel reports that more than half its viewership is now female:
The digital television channel Sci Fi UK has seen a 10 per cent rise in the number of female viewers over the past eight years and 1.4 million women now tune in - 51 per cent of the audience. The channel, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, links the rise in "girl geeks" to the proliferation of heroines such as Buffy, Lara Croft and Xena.
