gay thanks


Spent yesterday lazing around until about 2 and then scrambled to help G prep the desert dishes for Hug's dinner. Arrived at 5 and proceeded to stuff ourselves for several hours on everything from California salad to mussels and crab. Spent most of the time watching movies on Hug's ginourmous new television.

Y Tu Mamá También and then Chicago. I've seen YTMT several times and find something new to appreciate every time. Chicago, while being one of the best stage to screen translations I've seen, is only wonderful if you love the music. I don't love the music. I don't hate it, but the movie didn't open up my eyes to something new the way several friends told me it would. As far as screen musicals go, I'm still firmly in the Moulin Rouge camp. I love po-pomo.

Things to be thankful for; gay marriage edition:
i have a family who truly wished my partner and i could be with them yesterday
i have many good local friends who invited us to spend the day with them yesterday
i have many good far away friends who would gladly have had us over yesterday
i have a partner who's happy being a bit nontraditional on thanksgiving (eg: crab and pear galette)
i may someday get to call my partner husband in the eyes of the law

Quote for the day:
"There ought to be two distinct kinds of marriage: one governed by the state with rules enforced on all citizens, the other governed by the church with rules enforced by her on her own members." C.S. Lewis - Mere Christianity
