So I have a genetic blood disorder that causes my body to store Iron rather than get rid of it. As you can imagine, this can cause major problems - most notably liver and/or heart failure. Thankfully, my doctor caught it about 6 months ago, so with consistent treatment for the rest of my life, I should be okay. The treatment consists of getting a ( Read more... )

I decided I should take a break from my CSI-watching to update, since I haven't in a long time. School ended mid-May, which is really, really strange. I'm so used to being on the quarter system that this whole semester thing throws me off. I'm working 8-5 (ouch!) at the LA Public Defender and absolutely loving it!

On Valentine's Day, and James's parents' 25th wedding anniversary

James asked me to marry him!!!!!

Brokeback Mountain is the most amazing movie EVER.

Totally and utterly disgusted by the fact that the people of Ca are executing Tookie Williams tonight. Although I am adamantly against the death penalty for everyone, I am even more astounded that the governor cannot find it in his heart to grant Williams clemency -- a man who has clearly turned his life around while incarcerated. In addition to ( Read more... )
