    FINALLY
    CA State Supreme Court says same-sex couples have right to marry

    But George, in a 121-page opinion, said California has already recognized, in its laws and public policy, that gays and lesbians are entitled to equal treatment in every legal area except marriage. He also noted that state laws and traditions banned interracial marriage until the California Supreme Court, in 1948, became the first court in the nation to overturn such a law.

    "Even the most familiar and generally accepted of social policies and traditions often mask an unfairness and inequality that frequently is not recognized or appreciated by those not directly harmed," the chief justice wrote.


    YES YES YES. I am SO glad someone up there understands!!

    This is something that's been on my mind lately, so I'm glad we're making progress. As the article points out, it's a fragile victory - everything could be overturned in the November election. But it's a step forward, that's for sure.

    San Francisco is having a heat wave. Well, apparently the whole west coast is having a heat wave. I'm going to Sacramento this weekend, and it looks like it's going to be over 100F. Should be fun, sitting on the train. Yes, I am looking forward to finishing my wool sweater and listening to my IPod.

    Boy, it is harder than ever to do work now that I have a set escape date. Someone save me!

    techie: problems with XP pro taskbar
    Finally!

    About a week ago, the taskbar at the bottom of my desktop stopped displaying tabs for any running programs. It was utterly random and bizarre, and I had no way to pull up minimized windows without [Alt-Tab]ing to them.

    I didn't have time to fix this until today, but a quick google search led me to the answer I needed at MetaFilter. There I found a link to this site from which I downloaded the necessary fix. I double-clicked the file, the screen blanked to the background for a few seconds, and then everything was restored, including the capacity to see windows on the taskbar! The fix took all of five minutes to find and execute. Hooray, happy ending!

    Hopefully my laptop will still make it through to graduation....

    HALP I am falling in love with Det. Bobby Goren aka Vincent D'Onofrio
    Obviously I need a boyfriend before I go completely insane. Suggestions?

    This weekend was rather good. Spent part of Saturday hanging out with an old ex, who is a seriously nice person and funny too. Let's call him Slim. He and his girl are thinking of moving to the Bay Area, which will be fun. Slim spent a long time being (deservedly) angry with me, so that makes his friendship all the more precious.

    Then [info]rainwalk, [info]kiriko_moth, and I went to see Iron Man again. Thank you, world, for giving us back Robert Downey, Jr. It sort of makes up for Will Smith going crazy and becoming a scientologist.

    Sunday I watched El Orfanato, which was seriously creepy and spooky, but not all that scary. It was more tense than anything else, and pretty well done. It wasn't as good as Pan's Labyrinth or The Devil's Backbone, but it's in the same ballpark.

    I also had a migraine, so I'm going to start keeping a food journal and see if anything I'm eating is triggering them. I don't think that's what it is, since I usually get them on the weekends, but it's worth a try. Ya never know.

    *deep breath* Four day week this week, four day week next week, then 2 more weeks and I am OUTTA HERE. I can make it ... I think.

    Odds and Ends
    Oh, hi! Here, read some stuff:

    Sinister Bedfellows is sort of a webcomic. I liked a lot of them, some funny and some not, but what I really thought was awesome was a Wallace Stevens poem in pictorials.

    For some reason I feel the need to list my slightly irrational fears for you. Feel free to commiserate or laugh.
    1. sharks
    2. jellyfish
    3. bees
    4. bears
    5. coyotes/hyenas/any other sort of wild dog thing
    6. falling down stairs to my gruesome death (strangly, I am not afraid of falling down an escalator)
    7. sinister nighttime intruder come to murder us all in our sleep
    8. failing
    9. looking dumb in front of other people
    10. getting old

    Okay, let's talk some more about knitting )

    So, went to see Iron Man Sunday night. The theater was packed. There was a line to get in, despite the fact the movie has been out since Wednesday. It was awesome, and I know I say that a lot, but it really was. I don't know why I was surprised it was so funny, as Robert Downey Jr. has great comedic timing. Anyway, the movie lived up to my high expectations, and I think it's going on the list as one of the superhero movies I'd like to own. (Joining the ranks of Batman and Hellboy in my collection.)

    This video pretty much sums up how I feel about the Democratic candidate debate. Adorable. Gleefully first watched at [info]quirkyfemme.

    I'm giving notice at my job today. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
