Moving
Hi all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I have officially moved this blog from LiveJournal to a Wordpress page that can be found here. I haven't been happy with the way my browser works with the tools here and Wordpress gives me a lot more freedom in the look of the blog. The only thing I will be missing with wordpress is the community ( Read more... ) -
The Discerning Girlie Eco Army in 'da Haus!
Tonight I went to the Upper West Side NorthFace store to attend a discussion on living a compassionate lifestyle, with style. The panel members were four eco-fabulous rock stars who are paving the way in the mainstreaming of the eco-friendly, cruelty-free movement. They were: Joshua Katcher from TheDiscerningBrute.com, Michael Parris DuDell from ( Read more... ) -
Things That Make Me Proud to be a Veg
Anyone ever watched the pop culture beat down show Best Week Ever on VH1? Well, I am a big fan and even a bigger fan of the show's blog. Seriously, if you need to be entertained by the most ridiculous stuff while at work, this is the blog to add to your feed.
Anyway, today in their ongoing blog category of "Things That Exist" they posted this:

Easter Musings
This morning I realized that Easter was going to be here soon. And with that, it also dawned on me that one of the biggest things our culture does to "celebrate" this holiday, egg-dying, is not exactly vegan-friendly. Actually, that is an understatement, it is very much not a vegan-approved activity. Knowing what I do now about the suffering ( Read more... ) -
What Happens When Animals Get to Live Out Their Lives in Peace
If there is any doubt in your mind that even non-domesticated animals have emotions and feelings, and can create the same types of bonds as humans do, this video should remove it.
Farm animals make the same kinds of friendships when they are given the chance at places like Farm Sanctuary.

Dirt Candy (emphasis on the dirt)
I was going to try this new vegetarian restaurant called Dirt Candy that opened recently in Manhattan, until I read this article on the Huffington Post.
I did my homework on Amanda Cohen and found that she did in fact say those things and they weren't taken out of context.
With all the really non veg-friendly restaurants out there, it is sad to see ( Read more... ) -

Mrs. Furkey's Tofurkey
It's almost TurkeyDay and in honor of those ugly bastards (I'm sorry, vegan or not, I still think those are fugly animals), I am going to tell you something new about me. If you already know this, well it's because you're not just my internet friend, so shut it. For those that don't know, the big news is that my last name is Furkey. You're ( Read more... ) -
I just can't handle all the exciting excitement!
Today I am blogging from my new workspace at my new job in NYC! This is my second week and so far it has been great. I hit the ground running here and have had project after project. It's awesome! My office is in Rockefeller Center and I love walking around the area on my lunch hour. I'm definitely still in tourist mode. Earlier today I ( Read more... ) -
A change gonna come...
SO, big things are afoot in la vida de chariot, which is why I have been mostly MIA from this blog lately. Along with the aformentioned show I was in, I have also been teaching dance, working at Banana Republic and doing some online work for a former employer. And of course right in the middle of all that I was invited for a second job interview ( Read more... )
