  • 10:02 R is among the most menacing of sounds. That's why they call it "murder" and not "muckduck". #
  • 21:11 It's weird to realize Sigue Sigue Sputnik recorded a song that gets me all misty. #

This song always makes me cry a little, without fail.


Today was different. I guess now that it's nearly a decade on, it's no longer possible to be sad about a friendship that ended when someone decided never to speak to me again, not even to tell me why. It's so weird to see someone one day and have plans for the next night, only to have them never pick up the phone ever again.

At some point I just had to be happy with my own life and hope she's happy with hers, and realize that if she's unhappy, she's choosing to be.

It was so great to be able to listen to "Deadbeat Club" a couple of extra times for the first time this morning and feel the kind of nostalgia that makes me so happy and proud of where I am instead of sad about life's wrong turns.

"Maine statutes use the word 'spouse' 400 times. They use the word 'marital' 600 times. There is virtually no way to surgically carve out and tie together all the rights and responsibilities of marriage in a legal relationship that does what marriage does without calling it marriage. There is also no way to provide the universally understood family status that comes with a marriage contract. Husbands and wives don't need to produce durable powers of attorney or advance directives when they pick up their children from school, visit a hospital room or make decisions at a funeral home. Only same-sex couples are required to produce documents and jump through these legal hoops, and that is not what the equal protection clause in the state constitution promises. Families led by same-sex partners are here now. They are part of our communities and they need and deserve the legal protections – as well as the dignity – that comes with civil marriage status. Maine voters should recognize that even if their personal beliefs about marriage haven't changed, reality has. They should accept reality and vote "no" on Question 1."
