Alvin Ailey was amazing. And enough of the physical language of it comes from the same place that Graham technique does that I was sort of able to tell Patty what it is I used to do. (We're not going to Graham at the Joyce this week because I don't love the program of works as an introduction for anyone and I HATE the seats that are left available right now).

Then we went to L'Express and sat in the area we've dubbed the gay section, because we keep winding up there with other gay couples (there was a straight one too this time).

Then we came home and laughed ourselves sick over this review of Red Dead Redemption and the video of the weird ass glitches.

Today it's Costco with mom, Farmer's Market with Patty, and some yet to be determined evening activity.

Kali's right, this World Cup commercial is the fuck brilliant, even if you don't get all the jokes.

Turtles are being rescued and shipped out of the oil spill area. All the affected animals will not be so lucky.

The political situation in SC continues to get weirder.

Will last century's styles open today's wallets? Or, the New York Times identifies a trend years after its inception. Again.

Could you pass the test? Questions asked regarding marriages during green card applications.

writerinadrawer voting on now, until tomorrow.

I can pass the marriage test. Though personally, I don't mind the idea of people's partners being given visas and green cards, never mind being married; the stories about couples being apart because of bureaucratic red tape are so sad.

On the other hand, I think in some cases money changes hands, and I don't think that's cool at all.

Lived in SC for 9 years....thats pretty par for the course down there. The entire political scene in the state is a joke. Hell, the education and financial situation there is a joke.

Did you see Olbermann's interview with Alvin Green? It was SO PAINFUL.

Also: My primary partner and I have been together for 10 years and lived together for 9, and he would not be able to tell you anything about where I keep my clean undies, how our microwave works, or the details of our first meeting.

Talk about being late in the game, I worked with both the Jantzen and the Halston people over two years ago on those retro collections that the Times mentioned.

We passed, but I now realize how ridiculous the process is to begin with. I have friends with spouses that travel 80% or more of the time and have since they dated. They likely wouldn't know the nuances of daily life like that, but it doesn't make them any less committed.

Questionable Marriage.

A friend in University was still legally married to a U.S. draft evader she met exactly once. No one asked. Anything.
She subsequently got divorced, remarried, and gave birth to her firstborn on three successive days.

Sometimes I get the impression that your country doesn't really WANT any emigrants.

When my husband and I had our interview for his green card, we spent tons of time going over questions like that to make sure we knew the answers. And then we got there and the immigration officer hardly asked us anything and instead spent more time freaking out over the six month period after we were married where we lived together but I wasn't on the lease.

I hope it's okay that I've added your journal. I've had it bookmarked for a while and I really enjoy reading what you post. =) Thanks for sharing all of what you share.

In re: the marriage test, the article isn't far off. I've been a Green Card, and this is pretty accurate. We were questioned as a couple, and not questioned separately.

The green card test would be tough on a good day. But we're not getting married anyway, plus we're both US citizens. That said, some of those questions are insane.
