SAN FRANCISCO - A judge ruled Monday that California can no longer justify limiting marriage to a man and a woman, a legal milestone that if upheld on appeal would pave the way for the nation's most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.
Go us! Though, this would be a lot more important if this decision came down in Alabama. Still, I got no complaints about being on the vanguard of essential civil rights decisions.
Alabama doesn't allow vibrators, they're not going to be first in this battle.
Blargh. Not good day. Didn't sleep much last night (was really warm for some reason), didn't make it to work, realized when the bus came (to take me to tutoring) that I had left my bus pass, money, and sunglasses at home. Thought I was being lazy in calling in to work but may actually legitimately be sick.
Did I say blargh yet? On the other hand, go Cali! Um, is that how you spell it in that usage? When I was young, I used to think LL was saying, "I'm going back to Kally," so I've never been quite sure.

Yeah, but gay marriage is going to be much more consequential when it's allowed in Alabama, than in San Francisco where it already exists in all but name.
Yeah, but California's like getting another fingerhold. Nowhere near solid ground (which I guess would be Alabama), but just a little farther from, um... there's some movie reference I'm going for here, but I'm too BLARGH to get it.
Nevermind. Did I mention my mother's getting married and my brother and father are in Egypt? I am the boringest member of my family.
I am the boringest member of my family.
The best dancer, though, I'll bet.
How are Frannie and baby bro beanie (I am making up a new nickname that I suspect will only be making this one appearence) doing?
They are both doing well, Cass. I, on the other hand, am still sick. But hey, better me than them, I suppose.
I am the boringest member of my family.
I am too. Mostly it comes from not being able to afford things like traveling around the world or taking a year off from my job to go hiking and stuff like that. I'm the family loser.
I am not presenting a paper in South Africa this year. I am not drafting policy for accepting Haitian refugees into the country. I'm not splicing DNA inbetween teaching med school.
Hi. I'm ita, and I am less exciting than the rest of my immediate family.
