Just North of Something Important: Washington... →
barthel: Some of the cheering seems a bit premature; not only is it not actually law yet - the governor still has to sign the thing - but it’s likely that it won’t be law even once that happens. Due to the state’s reprehensible referendum system, if opponents can collect enough signatures the bill will… All this yes, BUT and ALSO: 1) Recent WA Supreme Court and 9th Circuit rulings that...

Washington on Wednesday became the seventh state... →
joshsternberg: One step closer. This NYT piece is the second story below the main image on its home page and has original reporting by William Yardley. Conversely, the WSJ’s article is buried way down in the U.S. section and reprints the AP report. Make of that what you will.

Zoë Stagg: ...and Found →
zoestagg: I do not lose things. Ever. Few things on this planet send me into the red faster than having to spend perfectly good time searching for things. To buoy this need, I have developed elaborate placement and protocol strategies for all items. If you see me shaking my right arm like I have a tick 17… I absolutely love your writing style. Also, I share your fury on the whole...

Restraint
One of my best friends, who is recently separated, is going out on her first date in over ten years. It is taking every thing I have not to walk the ten blocks to sit in the bar and chaperone from afar. Or heckle, whatever.

Shirley MacLaine is joining the cast of Downton... →
I just knew this week was going to be better than last. Shit just got all kinds of real: Shirley MacLaine just signed on to play Martha Levinson, Cora’s American mother and intended rival to the Dowager Countess. A MacLaine-Maggie face-off!

Swingrich! →
Technically you’re not asking your wife for an open marriage if you’ve already been fucking another woman for six years. You’re presenting your wife with an ultimatum. That doesn’t make you a proponent of open marriage, Newt, it makes you a CPOS.* Dan Savage on Newt Gingrich.  SWINGRICH! *CPOS =  Cheating piece of shit

the wedding recap
I walked down the aisle to the Vitamin Strings’ cover of the Beach Boys’ God Only Knows. The wedding party walked down to their cover of the White Stripes’ We Are Going to Be Friends. The ceremony meant everything to us.  We had written most of it together, so the words weren’t a surprise, but the intensity of the moment was other-worldly.  Although I didn’t hear it,...

in sickness and in health
Two weeks and one day after I married her son, I puked all over my mother-in-law. Christmas night, we were driving back from my folks’ place.  We were headed back to Seattle to meet up with a friend for a late night dinner.  I was feeling wonky, but thought it was due to ridiculous holiday eating.  About half way home, I realized the situation was more dire, and most likely some variety of...
