I started some no-knead bread but realized I won't have time to let it rise and bake it today, so I've put it in the fridge. I'll take it out tonight and let it sit overnight and bake it in the morning.

According to this week's Economist, people are, on average, least happy at 46, and then they get happier over time. Which is weird, because I just turned 46 and I'm pretty happy. I hope this means I will get happier and am not, instead, the reverse of the mean.

Woke up clogged in the nose. Not nice. Add in a headache and cramps and I'm not sure why I'm out of bed.

I don't think I would ever assume a pair of women were lesbians unless they were behaving couple-y.

The Democrats have cut off debate on ending DADT, which means they can take it to a vote today, and they have enough votes to pass it. Take that, John "Admiral Mullen doesn't lead troops" McCain.

And go, Ron Wyden, for showing up to vote even though he's supposed to be prepping for cancer surgery.

I have short hair in Texas and an adopted child with no husband. People always think I'm gay.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

People always think Juliana and I are gay together.

Except that one oncology nurse, who thought she was my daughter, and that G. was my son.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think I would ever assume a pair of women were lesbians unless they were behaving couple-y.

I assume women together are lesbians ALL THE TIME. But I assume everyone together is, you know, together.

I just don't tell them about it or make any decisions based on it, because I happen to realise I'm making shit up.

But, dude, if you live together that's totally gay.

Why am I still here and not at the framing store?

this has occasionally been difficult when meeting people who know my roommate only vaguely--trying to explain that we don't live together live together, without sounding strange. (it's sometimes surprisingly hard to work "roommate" into the convo)
