Man in breathalyzer costume charged with drunken driving

Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap told me just now that turnout there is far exceeding his projections -- news that would be good news for backers of same-sex marriage.

Woo hoo! Go Maine!

Awww...

During D.C. hearing on same-sex marriage, witness interrupts by proposing to his partner.

The D.C. City Council held a hearing yesterday on a bill allowing same-sex couples to marry in the nation’s capital. However, the hearing was briefly interrupted when witness Andy Hertzberg stopped to propose to his partner. “I would like to take a huge step in my own life,” Hertzberg said. “Andy [Rollman], I’d like to ask you: Will you marry me?” One marriage equality opponent was outraged that they would show their love for one another, saying that for “something like this” to happen in the Council’s chambers, it showed a lack of “respect.” According to the local ABC report, however, most council members were supportive of the proposal.

There is also a video.

Didn't spill the pasta, but I did just throw it all up into the garbage can. Ugh. Don't know why--it wasn't in my stomach long enough to be food poisoning, and it wasn't anything I hadn't eaten before (a few tortellini, veggies, and red sauce).

LOVE!!!!

Oh dear, Kathy. Flu, possibly? Or maybe your body is being passive-aggressive with you now that you've made a decision on surgery.

I was reading an article today about how it isn't too late to lose weight for middle-aged women. The article's tone was that you can lose weight if you just want it enough. Right. That's exactly how weight loss works, Chicago Sun-Times. ARGH.

Was the article sponsored by The Secret?

Woo hoo! Go Maine!

When I was up there over the weekend, I saw way, way more signs for "No" on the same-sex marriage question ("Yes" would mean repealing the law). Granted, I was in southern Maine, which is by far the most liberal part of the state, but it's also the most populous part of the state as well, so here's hoping.

It'd better not be the flu--I have to be here at work by 7:00 am to get election results entered into the database. I already called my boss to tell her I got sick, and I'm thinking about calling her back to tell her I'm going home. My stomach is feeling a bit iffy now, after it was much steadier immediately afterwards. And I now have a headache, which might just a side-effect of the up-chucking.

And if you really, really believe in fairies.
