Day: November 14, 2004

I haven't seen kit nor kin of Marc for over two weeks now, I believe. That has to be a record.

I noticed something earlier today. Before I met Katy, my kimono was always hung on the 4-peg rack behind my door, and I'd hang it across the 4 pegs. Ever since she left, it's only been hanging on 2, and I just realized today that it was because her
killer-blue-fluff bathrobe used to hang there as well. Since she's been gone, I've been unconsciously hanging my kimono only on half the space, because I know that one day, that bathrobe will be there for good and it's going to need the space.

Yes, I am a big romantic sap. You may mock me now.

Terri Leo is a popular villain in the science press right now. She's on the Texas State Board of Education, the second-largest textbook buying body in the country, and she has worked liked a demon to get references to evolution, global warming, pollution, overpopulation, and contraception from textbooks used in her state. Given that her state is the second-largest textbook buying body in the country, that gives her a scary amount of power in deciding what goes into textbooks. She's responsible for the acceptance of a “health” textbook that recommends, as a form of birth control, naps, on the grounds that “it may be harder to make the responsible decision to remain abstinent when you are tired.” (Rc note: Did you know that Texas is the #1 ranked state for teen pregnancy?)

This year, her target is “asexual stealth phrases.” She wants phrases like “married people” replaced with “A husband and wife in a life-long union,” claiming that the original phrase may confuse children into believing that men can marry men or something.

Today was a domestic day, for the most part. Did about a gajillion loads of laundry (and yes Katy, my laundry basket is empty!) and some dishes. My parents came over to meet my cat (my mom had seen him a long time ago, my dad, never), drop off the suitcase I'm going to use to go to the UK and give me a vacuum cleaner. They bought me one. I think it's a sign…

I love that picture MJ.
