...and the new loa rose, born
of J.R.'s weariness and fury,
a thing of smoking arms
and ember eyes, a thing
with a black and green mottled
heart...

gyah. creepy stuff.

I posted a little while ago about the Kickstarter for a new Leisure Suit Larry game involving Al Lowe (which, btw, got funded and is going ahead!). Well, it seems the Two Guys from Andromeda are at it too, to fund a "Spaceventure" game! (I guess only Vivendi or whoever they are nowadays has rights to the actual Space Quest IP?)

J'y'all get a load of this?

Obama Embraces Marriage Equality

I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together ... at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

On The Daily Show tonight... clips of, ah, mostly-white youth, doing what you might expect they'd be doing on Cinco de Mayo.

One claims he can drink Bud Light (among other beverages) like it was water.

Forgive me, but isn't that rather like saying he can drink water as if it were water...?

May-the-Fourth-be-with-us is our (enotsola and me's* my) wedding anniversary.

So, yeah.

Woo for the_misha being qualified at the time to sign the fancy silly papers the gub'mint wants, because he was able to give us the "ooga booga, I wave my stick, you are married" kind of ceremony we wanted. No fancy preparations involved (although as I recall, my mother forced a bouquet into my hand, and I dyed my hair for the occasion).

This is whatcha get when you've been "together" for nine and engaged for seven years before you actually get married, I guess.

Like, whatever. I had delicious scallops and he had delicious swordfish today as an anniversary dinner. That's the important part. Right?

Eye colors to choose from in the "Information for Criminal Records Search" section of the N-400 "Application for Naturalization" form:

Brown, blue, green, hazel, grey, black, pink, maroon, other.

Pink's weird, but, I guess, if you're an albino or something, ok.

But maroon? WTF? Maroon eyes?
