Hot off the Press: Deep thoughts edition

Another slow news week for me. Here's the scoop, though.

Elizabeth Lambert, the University of New Mexico women's soccer player who was suspended from the team for yanking an opponent from BYU down by her ponytail, says she doesn't know what came over her: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/sports/soccer/18soccer.html. The story's okay, but the portrait of her — above, fashionably dressed with scarf in a stairwell, looking thoughtful — is worthless. It's very NYTish, but worthless.

Irony has touched the sign of a New York City hospital: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/in-elmhurst-im-hurt-equals-u-r-hurt/?hp.

Many of the nation's waste water treatment plants are so overwhelmed that they have no choice but to dump untreated and partially treated sewage into waterways: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/us/23sewer.html?_r=1&hp.

Here's a few vegan dish recipes for Thanksgiving via the NYT: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/recipes-for-a-vegan-thanksgiving/?hp.

Us Echo Boomers (or Millenials, or Gen Yers, or whatever the fuck our generation will eventually call itself (one of us will provide a name, thank you)), fresh out of college, are moving back in with our parents due to the hard economic times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/us/24boomerang.html?_r=1&ref=us. Nothing's cheaper than the free rent of your parents' basement, which will once again be my home come July.
