a truly excellent movie (nsfw unless you have a dinosaur hookup-positive, marijuana-friendly workplace. [hey, it's 2009; anything is possible.])

this movie made my morning:

just so you know, kenneth starr is just as much of a jackass as you remembered.

i went to san francisco today to watch the arguments about proposition 8 before the california supreme court. i was expecting miserable weather and tons of people; the crowd wasn't ever very big and the weather was absolutely magnificent.

i ran into a friend from the dorms; he'd been looking at me funny and it was because he recognized me. we stood together for a bit. then he had to leave and i ended up next to an older woman who gave me the rundown on everything. she knew the names of all the justices and how they'd voted, how they were likely to vote, and big issues with which they might be concerned. she was awesome.

and kenneth starr? awful. what a horrible dude. he kept talking about how eliminating marriage rights didn't erode the bundle of rights so graciously granted by the state...and we kept hissing. because at that point, it was about all we could do.

and then i left the protest and had lunch with jesse danger.

help a friend of friends (or a friend of a friend of friends)

today i've seen this story in several places on the internets. hollis hawthorne, a 31 year old san francisco woman, has been in a horrible motorcycle accident in india. she is seriously injured, and her friends and family are trying desperately to raise $200,000 to pay for an air ambulance from india to stanford.

i don't know hollis, but i do know a number of people who do. you can read more and donate here, should you feel inclined. i did.

happy square root day!

enjoy it; there are only nine per century!

can we all just agree that pancakes are fantastic?

i made some pancakes for shrove tuesday last week and remembered about how great they are. i just had some with pecans and dried berries in them, with applesauce and plain yogurt. yes.

mouse-over text is a magical thing (nsfw)

xkcd is brilliant, but you already knew that. until i recently got a new version of firefox, i could only read the first few words of the mouse-over text, but now i can read it all! which has meant that i've needed to go back to the beginning to read all of the mouse-over text. and oh man, some of it is so funny! observe:

funny, no?

now try looking at this:

while thinking about the fact that the mouse-over text says, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a BITCH ASS FUCK DAMN"
