Ruby and Brian’s Open Source Wedding
Ruby and Brian are getting hitched. And they’re doing it for all to see. It’s a cool idea, this ‘open source wedding’ idea. And here is my link to Brian and Ruby’s Geek Socialist Love. Congrats Brian and Ruby!!
Judge Stops 13-Year-Old From Having Abortion
Fucking Judge. Not suprisingly, it’s in Forida. Though the rest of our dear little country is starting to look a lot like Florida these days.
Two Weeks of Misery
It think that I may hate DC. Or maybe DC hates me. For the past two weeks I’ve been nearly unable to breathe and coughing constantly. Doc has me on shitloads of medicine that doesn’t seem to be doing anything. It seems that the further I get from Oregon, the less happy my body is. Fucking East coast.
So, now I’m off to take the kids to the zoo. That oughtta finish me off.
Airscape
And in the element of light
The sun reflected from the waves
Inshore it spangles
The child of air is borne upon the wind that blows across the sea
And in the element of summer
The cliffs suspended in the heat
The air in columns
The tiny figures of the world are walking
Underneath your feet
And underneath your hair
Where angels wander
I’ll wander too
Where angels wander — over you
And in the element of darkness
The starlight shimmers on the spray
And falls towards you
Your perfect lover’s never there
And if she was, she wouldn’t be — and neither, though, would you
Save your illusions
For someone else
Save your illusions
For yourself
And in the element of laughter
The quick explosion and the slow
Release of heat
The tide recedes upon the bones of something beautiful and drowned
In coral and in jade
Where angels hover
I’ll hover too
Where angels hover — over you
Over you
Over you
-Robyn Hitchcock
When a Friend Gets Laid Off
You know, how when a friend looses their job (or funding for their job) you usually feel bad for them? Especially when they work at a pretty important, meaningful, vital, if perhaps internally flawed organization? Well…then you know how sometimes – after feeling bad for them for about a second – you are all like, “hey, my company should hire her.” You know how that sometimes is? Well that’s how I feel now.
Who Gives a Ratzinger’s Ass?
I know his views have huge implications on things that are important to me, but I just can’t find it within myslelf to care in the slightest which old white dude gets to be pope. And I thought the presedential election was an irritating excercise in the futility of being faced with two shitty choices.
I don’t. I really don’t
For years now I’ve been telling people how lucky I am that I get along so well with J’s folks. No parent-in-law stereotypes here. Nosiree-bob!
Oh well. I guess the illusion was nice while it lasted.
