• Spam subject line of the day: "Prevent your organism from diseases!" The Dada-esque nature of this subject line is nearly perfect. It almost makes sense on a number of different levels, but once you think you’ve figured it out, you realize that you haven’t gotten it at all. This truly is the Platonic ideal of spam subject lines.
• Plenty of you already know that my wife and I are having our kitchen from hell remodeled. For updates, including pictures, mosey on over to my wife’s journal, where she’s posting pictures and commentary for your amusement.

California is now the second state in the US to legalize gay marriage.

Today I am damn proud to be a Californian.

Gay sex does squick me out, to be honest. How in the world can anyone, male OR female, find men attractive, let alone find the idea of sex with them at all appealing? Big, sweaty, hairy grunters… I mean, ew. Still, though, that’s my issue, and people all over the world do things that I find squickish. So who cares? That doesn’t mean that they aren’t human beings entitled to the same rights as everyone else.
