The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I kind of had coffee cake for lunch. It was good, but now I think I need potato chips to balance the sugar.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hi everybody!
I did my shopping and it was fine. Xmas gifts are mostly bought unless it was DH's job to buy it. But I'm done, at least for now. Costco wasn't even terrible. And they'll be open on Xmas eve and selling crab, so if that's what sister wants we can get it there.

“Not dead yet!”
Just pulled peppermint chocolate chip scones from the oven. My sister bought a pre-made mix and all things considered, they're not bad. Of course, I doctored them a bit with extra mint-chocolate chips and a light dusting of sugar. They came out super tender and the house smells very Christmassy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dear god elementary strings. My ears, my ears.
Ha ha! My younger cousin took violin for a while, and it was a nightmare. This is why I took flute -- even at 9 or 10, I knew that played badly, flute sounded better than violin or clarinet played badly.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My cousin Buffy, who married her wife over Labor Day, sent me this link to Melissa Etheridge's wife's blog. They've got an interesting take on the Warren deal.
Her perspective is interesting -- as long as the government-approved union with all the same rights as marriage is legal for gay people, then it doesn't have to be called "marriage" -- but my impression (based solely on the media) is that, in general, gay people don't want separate-but-equal status, with a differently-named union. If "marriage" is good enough for the hetero American citizens, then why should gay American citizens be forced to accept anything else?
Still, it was interesting to read.
Although I couldn't get past her horrible butchering of "yarmulke."

Meh, I'd *rather* have marriage, but if someone were going to hand me something that was *actually* the same as marriage, I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers. Especially if it were more than just a state at a time. Widespread. IJS.
I'm pragmatic. I'd rather have the shit than fight for the word. I figure if we have civil unions or whatever the hell they want to call them, in ten or twenty years, when we've had those and the world has not collapsed, at some point, people go "oh. yeah. duh"
I can see the argument that we shouldn't settle, and I have definitely seen people settle for things that were NOT worth settling for--things that were LESS than equal. Things that were selling out friends of theirs, for example (ie, "oh, well, we'll get equal rights for the gays, and sucks for the trannies! Maybe someday!") And that shit ain't right. But...
