The Inman Oasis.
Oh man. So good. Inman Square had their shop by moonlight event last night, and for those of you lucky enough not to be outside in Boston, it was frigid and absolutely pouring. The Oasis let us soak for a solid half hour for $5 in their AMAZING community tub. Words fail.
Anyway, I’m now a total addict, and plan on going back as much as possible. Am I the only one...
watching Iowa
For those of you who don’t know:
In a case that could make Iowa the first Midwestern state to legalize same-sex marriage, the Iowa Supreme Court on Tuesday pressed lawyers for both sides with sharp questions on topics like the 4,000-year-old history of marriage and whether a ruling favoring gay couples would open the door to polygamy.
The legal core of the case, Varnum v. Brien, is...

day without a gay
So, as I’m sure most of you are aware, it’s Day Without A Gay. As I am unable to miss work right now (I work at a University and we are in the middle of finals), I am instead going to completely devote this blog today to same-sex couples, their struggles, their moments of joy, and probably some nasty and embarrassing stories about assholes who are against the 14th amendment.

From the WSJ: Calling All Cars: Trouble at Chuck E. Cheese’s, Again
“In Brookfield, Wis., no restaurant has triggered more calls to the police department since last year than Chuck E. Cheese’s.”
And, my favorite:
” “The biggest problem is you have a bunch of adults acting like juveniles,” says Town of Brookfield Police Capt. Timothy Imler....

Think of it this way: it’s worth the (undeniable) hassle of dealing with a third party provider for FSA (flex spending accounts) for the savings you’re making by using pre-tax dollars. You should also talk to your employer about switching FSA providers - a lot of the systems in Boston will preload your yearly contribution onto a debit card which you can then use at the...
See? This is why I learned how to dance in high school. Of course, in addition to that, I tried to learn how to sew, cook and do laundry. I know that now that we’re adult that sounds great, but in high school (especially in Ohio) it can give off the entirely wrong message when put together. Definitely recommend dancing.

This morning, the man sitting across from me on the train pulled out a Discman and a CD wallet from his backpack. Five years ago, this would have been nothing, but today? It was more bewildering to me than the weekend’s knife sharpening truck.
I started watching him and, though I may be imposing meaning where there was none, it seemed that he was listening to his music with more focus...
Texas officials ask Obama to stop border fence |... →
highlow:
EL PASO, Texas — Elected officials in El Paso are asking President-elect Barack Obama to scuttle federal plans to build hundreds of miles of fencing along the U.S. border with Mexico.
In a three-page letter to Obama dated Wednesday, officials from El Paso argue that the fence, a project approved by Congress in 2006, was ill-conceived and is an irresponsible expense while the country is...
Commentary on Thailand
An interesting point made by Gideon Rachman, who blogs for FT:
“Remember all those theories about how the emergence of an urban middle-classes is a force for democratisation, because the bourgeoise will demand political rights? Well, in Thailand the precise opposite is happening. The urban middle-classes are rising up and demanding that democracy be rescinded.”
He makes an...
'Sup, NRA? Where you at?
Cajun Boy in the City makes an excellent point:
“Where is the statement expressing outrage from the NRA that a humble American gun owner like Plaxico, who was just trying to protect himself and his family by carrying a hand gun, is being mercilessly persecuted by The Man and his Draconian gun control laws?”

Narwhals! Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Me: so yeah, narwhals...
Me: i want to start a band called horned aquamammals
Josh: I think that under Suffolk's new sexual harassment policy I don't have to respond to that.
