I have this huuuuge red button on my nose. I'm dead sexy, i tell ya.

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.

So I got woken up by Boris jumping on me this morning. This shouldn't be a big thing, he's a cat, and they do that. What makes this interesting is that he managed to open the closed and properly latched bedroom door to get into my room.

Just had a two-hour phone conversation with my sweetums. You have to love phone cards. That call, in prime time, cost me the whopping sum of 85 cents :) It was good to talk to her for a good chunk of time. We talked about everything and nothing, and… other things too. It was nice. I realize just how much good it does to me to hear her voice.

I'm leaving in 42 days now :)

Meeting today went well. That's as much as I want to talk about it today, cause it's work, and work is done until monday. Suffice it that I'm relieved, I know where I'm headed and have a clearer picture of what needs to be done. It's enough for now.

I've worked up an appetite, so I'm going to fix a snack until Sara gets here and we have dinner.

*happy sigh*

From the article:

The American ambassador to Canada warned yesterday that Ottawa's plan to de-criminalize marijuana would exacerbate already dire congestion problems at the U.S. border. Paul Cellucci said the bill would give the impression pot was easier to obtain in Canada, which would put U.S. Customs officers on high alert for smugglers. The increased inspection and questioning of certain people coming into the United States would slow up crossing points already bogged down with security-related screening […]

My favourite quote of the article was this:

The ambassador otherwise painted a generally positive picture of relations between the two countries. Differences over such social issues as same-sex marriage, and the hope of many Canadians that George W. Bush, the U.S. President, would lose last week's election will not undermine the solid ties, he said.

bwahahahahahahaha! Yes, Dubya is our bestest buddy.
