I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Cousins United to Defeat Discriminating Laws through Education. (That is, cousin marriage.)

My cousins are both Conservative Christians and none too hot. I think I'll arm wrestle Connie for David McCallum instead.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY nap! I think I may emulate you.

I'm watching last night's Daily show, and Jon Stewart just called Iowa more progressive than California.

Not to say Iowa isn't AWESOME, but the court there just did the same thing the court here did. It hasn't been put to the voters yet--that's where the test is, sadly enough.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Which, IMO, is BS. As a voter, I really don't believe that social rights should be put to a popular vote.

**Edited to say that I don't think Perkins is BS (unless BS in this case means Bacon Slacker), but voting on gay-marriage is.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Which is why Vermont wins.

Exactly, to both.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kind of like Cuddle Parties (shudder), which another co-worker attends

That is so TMI when it comes to coworkers.

So in addition to being all ITA with msbelle, I am also all ITA w/ Perkins on the voters vs courts when it comes to civil rights.

And as for CUDDLE, I have to admit that there's a few married first cousins in my family tree (not on my parental branch, but on some of the nearby ones). Evidently for Russian Jews of a certain village in a certain era, there weren't a lot of non-cousins to choose from.

Just went to a talk about a semi-successful* K2 expedition. For work. AWESOME.

I have no desire to mountain climb, and I swear I was getting vertigo from some of the images alone, but I love mountain climbing adventure stories. I named cats after killer mountains.

* 2 people on other teams died attempting to summit as part of a semi-organized group effort that day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My grandparents, I think, second cousins by marriage. (They weren't blood relatives, but there was another Ransohoff-Westheimer marriage in the generation above theirs.)
