So New York becomes the six state to allow gay marriage, and on some level I'm happy, but I don't know, I feel like it's a double-edge sword. It's great that people are finally recognizing that as a gay man, I deserve the same rights and privileges as heterosexuals. It is unfortunate that only a few states recognize these things ( Read more... )

I'm all about evolution of language. Don't get me wrong. I'm actually becoming okay with the phrase "begs the question" to be a literal statement meaning "leads to the question" instead of its original meaning having to do with a logical fallacy.

Or is it that every time I think about blogging, I think I can just do it later ( Read more... )

I just realized I haven't updated this thing in ages. Lots of things have happened, and yet I'm still finishing up my PhD, so that hasn't changed. Tom and I found out that while the United States won't recognize a domestic partnership in California as a legal partnership, the United Kingdom does recognize it, and so filing for a domestic ( Read more... )

This leads me to believe I need to review ALL the places I've said I'm never shopping at again. Maybe yelp can bring some real changes in this world! Power to the yelple!

Ha! So I changed my Woodstocks Pizza four-star review on yelp to a two-star review (based on the crappy service when I wanted delivery).
