Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Found out a friend of mine fell and busted up her shoulder.(Dislocated and fractured) She may need surgery. 2012 is going on my list now. (There have been other crappy things happening to people I know this year, this is just the last straw.)

And every single one of them was a man. In historic preservation, which at the field level is probably 55% female, and that preponderance of women goes all the way up to the federal regulators in Washington.

Does this group only work to preserve historic buildings with towers or steeples?

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

Look at this IO9 article: [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That story uses the cover art for a Barbara Hambly book. Weird.

Have people seen the CNN breaking news? Washington state House of Representatives votes 55 to 43 to approve a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.

Oh, that's even better! No pesky non-phallic structures to bother with...

Yep! The governor is willing to sign it, but probably people will file to have a referendum in November's election, to try to vote it down. (BOO!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Washington state House of Representatives votes 55 to 43 to approve a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.

So that will make it state number seven! Plus D.C.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

A referendum would be complicated by the recent 9th circuit decision. Washington state is also under the ambit of the decision.
