This afternoon two friends and I went out canvassing against Amendment One. This is the amendment to the NC state constitution which says: "Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state ( Read more... ) -

conspirator
I used to have this thing called The Movie List. In which I watched a lot of old movies, and kept a list of them, and wrote a little thumbnail review of each one. Then last year I got a "real job" and didn't have time to even watch movies, much less write them up.

not quite psychic enough

Some of them have excellent ideas, things I would never have thought of (like, ask one of the guests to stay till the end and help load gifts into the mother-to-be's car). What they ( Read more... ) -
hey baby, wanna kill all humans?
So I've been working on a variety of knitting projects, most of which I can't write about yet because they're unfinished gifts. I have a hard time working on one project until it's done & then starting on another. It's easier for me to have several things going at once, and turn to whichever catches my fancy at the moment ( Read more... )
