Anti gay marriage ads are now appearing in the New York market. I think I can't watch TV for a while. That said, WPIX has refused to run the add, and they deserve our thanks. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/28/nyregion/28ad.html
Major Internet problems at home. Not good.
We're still firmly in Mercury retrograde and it is SO ANNOYING. All clusterufucks all the time.
I slept for twelve hours last night. I almost feel human.
Most annoying phrase I've seen all week: "literary magazine and lifestyle brand."
Argh argh argh stupid, stupid. I have Metropolis tickets for the same night as the lesbian pier dance. STUPID STUPID STUPID. ARGGGGGH! Okay, *breathe* Patty & I can sort this when she comes home. But super irritating.
On the plus side, about 8 billions years ago I signed up with a rewards program for my bank and forgot about it. Now I have enough points to get a $150 check from them or about $200 in gift cards from various stores. SCORE. I should probably get the gift cards to stores I use anyway -- practical stuff, like Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond or even the drug store.
Must consider what's next from Duchess. Shirts? Pinstripe (yes, fuck you all, I'm totally going there, but iz not a cosplay thing) suit? Grey suit (yes, fuck you all, I'm also totally going there and that's a tiny bit a cosplay thing, yes, fine, grrr)? or tux (which I will do in time to have for cruise)?
Yeah,eh? My born again conservative Christian kid sister is always torn between voting Green or NDP( Socialist!) Labour or Ecology? Both so important! And my Mormon High School teacher told our class, I don't care what you believe after the year is over,but first you have to pass a test on how evolution works. The one time a provincial parliament found itself without any opposition members, the government panicked. How can you govern without opposition?
Completely different history->completely different political culture. Most Canadians would agree George III was a pretty decent King, and would also agree to most of the Declaration of Independence.
I am lucky enough to have been able to travel and live outside of the country and so I always got different history -> different culture and that those differences are good and bad sometimes but never just good or bad. I think because my North American experience was sort of limited I didn't realize the really big difference between Canadians and Americans. Some good, some bad.
