i did this all for lasu. i hate losing.

umm i may mess around with the colors and maybe change the colors scheme or something. i think maybe i'll even try to create my very own blog....but we'll see how this weekend looks for that. i make no promises. although i do promise that i will not be returning to the 80's....it just didnt feel right.

but yea....i wrote my ws paper/letter thing this morning. i started on it at 1:30ish. and then i talked to andy for a bit and then i was vaguely made an outline. vaguely. then i went to bed at like 2:30 and set my alarm for 6 to finish. which meant that i started writing around 8am. which wasnt too bad i finished the letter at 9:50something and managed to get to italian only like 10minutes late. i'm that girl in the class who can never get to class on time. i try though. i try really hard...i just cant.

the global assembly line was pretty cool. i learned how liz clayborne is the devil, how taco bell wont give their tomatoe pickers a one cent raise (those bastards), how ll bean gives pregancy test to their textile workers in china and pay them "minimum wage" which is about .21 in china as opposed to "living wage which is a whole .81, ummm yea, oh and starbucks only buy 1% of their coffee at fair trade so their also the devil and their cups are made with prison labor in the US. oh and chocolate is a "luxury" good...i had never thought of it as one...and my team did intel and how they screw over the philippinos... it makes me wonder where to buy my food, clothing, and technology stuff without having that guilt that goes with knowing that the computer ur writing on, the clothes that are on your body where all made by people who are basically slaves of capitalism. ur clothes are made by slaves. i want guilt free clothes....

oh this site was made by one of the teams in the class about the women in El Salvador who work for Liz Claiborne

this is another good site about sweatshops around Los Angeles and gives u good info on how to get involved. i think it specifically deals with the evil forever 21, but it might also have info on other evil textile companies.
