Great article by Matt Foreman, director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Basically, he says its time to call out those who stand on the sidelines of the fight for gay rights. In the infamous words of “Dubya”, you’re either with us or against us. For those who read this blog or this article […]

Just a random little rant here. It really irked me earlier when I read an article about how the Texas legislature was unable to get to important issues like education funding and other critical matters. Apparently school funding will go to some default amount which even that could be challenged or blocked by a court […]

I love long weekends. While it rained a lot, we also had nice bouts of weather in between. I finished a garden at the back of the yard under the crepe myrtles. The area was always wet and shady so grass never grew, so now it has some asian jasmine and the stone bird bath […]

I’ve found some good music lately. Now, if you know Ian and I, Ian is by far more the music person than I. I recently obtained (mostly on iTunes, I’m legit now, but if I can’t find it on iTunes I download it off Limewire):
*the new Erasure album Nightbird - they’re continuing to play around […]

I just had to post this, politics as usual makes me laugh:
The White House condemned the vote as a partisan delaying tactic for a nominee who had a majority of the Senate’s support.
The vote was 56-42 FOR delaying. *In a Sesame Street sing-song* “Which one of these is more than the other? 56 or 42?”
Senate […]

Here’s a break down day by day of our little trip.
Kris, Daniel, Vic and I arrive on Saturday in Reno (yup, first class was rough but I had two bloody marys and some wine to help me through it!). We got the Jeep Cherokee and headed out to Tahoe. By the time we were finally […]

Here are the pics of the Tahoe/Napa trip. Big files, FYI. Enjoy! I’ll describe the trip itself in more detail later. For now, I’m going to go to bed and try to survive my remaining two days of work this week!
Tahoe and Napa Valley

I’m back from the Tahoe/Reno/Napa/San Francisco trip. Whew I am tired! I’ll post more about it (and eventually the pictures) later, just wanted to get a quick post in now. Had a lot of fun tasting good food and good wine. The countryside around Tahoe is absolutely gorgeous! I didn’t get to spend much time […]

Going to Reno/Tahoe/the north California wine country this weekend for a 5-day getaway with Vic and Kris, friends from high school and college. It’ll be a lot of fun, I’ve never gone on a trip with them, or really any friends from high school or college.
Work the last few days has been a pain in […]

Well, the deed is done. I saw the last of the Star Wars movies, which is to say the 3rd of 6. It’s funny how tha confuses some people. He did movies 4-6 first, then 1-3. It’s that easy.
Well, I agree with most that 1 and 2 were not that great. But as Annakin steps […]
