So it's been two years since I've had this livejournal account, and just about as long since I've updated it. Oh well. A lot has happened since I was wallowing in self-indulgent, self-centered sappiness ( Read more... )

Common lore is that when you get your heart broken, one of the things you need to do is step back and figure out what you learned from the experience ( Read more... )

It's amazing. Three years ago, when same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts, only 50 legislators were in favor of it. Yesterday, 150 legislators were in favor of it. Time is on our side, and marriage equality is here to stay. Love has won out. And now we can all move on to really important things ( Read more... )

Today's the day the Massachusetts Legislature either will stand up for what is right and affirm the inherent worth and dignity of everyone -- or else they will allow a hate-filled anti-gay marriage amendment to go forward.

This weekend I attended a wedding, and one of the singers could have been the love child of Liza Minnelli and Sally Struthers -- it was the type of performance for which YouTube was created. Her emoting, right down to the (was it?) calculated step ( Read more... )

It's amazing the gems you find in your own backyard. Yesterday I went to the Boston Harbor Islands, a wonderful resource that, inexplicably, few people in Boston seem to know about. For $10 you buy a wonderful round-trip boat ride and can range hither and yon on islands and enjoy the most exquisite ocean views. Then again, maybe it's a good thing ( Read more... )

Well, after years of trolling other LiveJournal entries, I've decided to create my own. No telling what I'll actually end up doing with it, but I'll cross that bridge later. It is now 10:30 in the morning and while nearly everyone else I know is slaving away in their little warrens, I'm sitting here in my pajamas and slurping on just-getting-cold ( Read more... )
