Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Stopped by my hemotologist's office this morning for a blood test. Have been exhausted and empty brained - ok, more than usual - lately. Took me over a week to think of checking my iron levels. Dur. Won't get the results back for a couple of days, but I feel all accomplished.
Oh, oh, and I have a sushi lunch date to look forward too (with a friend, not a date, date).
I am in full on grumpypants mode this morning.
Bankruptcy court rules DOMA unconstitutional . . .what a weird sideways way to get there. Like prosecuting Al Capone for tax evasion.
I can see the bankruptcy ruling, though. The couple was legally married but now they're being denied a standard legal benefit of marriage. The gay marriages were not declared void--were they? bad citizen for not knowing that--so the only reason for denying that marriage benefit is because someone thinks they're icky. And ickiness is not a legally recognized state.
If it's the California marriages that were done before being struck down, then the marriages are not void.
A friend of mine is being interviewed by all the local news orgs because she and her wife are affected by that ruling. It's a bummer they had to file for bankruptcy but such an awesome outcome! I'm so proud of her for being a public face for the issue.
Fantastic interview with Peter Gallagher at AV Club.
God, I'd sort of forgotten how long he's been in the business and how much theater he's done. My favorite story was him messing with Margaret Thatcher, but his stories about working with James Cagney and Jack Lemmon and Geoffrey Rush are cool too.
It is a California marriage.
Why is there a team called the Canucks and one called the Canadiens? Why do I suddenly care?
