Let's talk about the election....in California

I had always considered California a liberal state so I will admit that I'm a bit puzzled that they were able to get Prop8 on the ballot there.

Prop8 is a state amendment titled ELIMINATION OF THE RIGHT OF SAME SEX COUPLES TO MARRY. Now, I live in New Jersey, which is also a liberal minded state. But I think what California is doing is horrid so I'm actively letting folks know. Why? I do not want California to set a precedent. I don't want anyone to think that denying same sex couples the right to anything is OK, because it isn't.

This isn't about having gay friends or straight friends. This is about other people telling you who it is OK to love. And it's about not extending basic rights to someone based on who they want to sleep next to at night. I know several homosexual couples that have been together for a decade or more. They nurse each other through illnesses, they support each other through bad times and they celebrate their triumphs.

Voting down Prop8 should be a triumph. No one should be denied the right to live their lives as a married couple equal in the eyes of all other married couples.

And John Cho says it better that I ever could:

Spring ahead, fall back

I pluck my eyebrows in my car. As far as bad habits go, it's still way better than voting Republican (like any of you thought otherwise).

Through incredibly scientific methods (and VOODOO!) I have determined that the optimal time to commence with plucking is as soon as I get off the NJ Turnpike en route to my house after work. It is optimal for several reasons:

1. MEANS: I sit in 10-15 minutes of standstill traffic from the turnpike exit to my turnoff with ZERO traffic.
2. MOTIVE: The wait is 1 lane. This means there is no one on my left or my right to gawk at my tweezing.
3. OPPORTUNITY: Perfect lighting
4. When my visor is down (duh! the mirror is on the opposite side) even the person in the car ahead of me can't see what I am doing. This was determined through incredibly scientific methods (and VOODOO!).

And now of course it is getting darker and darker earlier and earlier. Daylight saving is no more. Which means I can't pluck. I just don't get the same results when I do it in the privacy of my own bathroom.

So, in a nutshell, as soon as I become Queen of the Universe I'll make sure that we have daylight at all the opportune times. Never mind that thing about the sun and the rotation of the Earth on its axis or any of that other crap. I'm gonna make it happen.
