automatic cure, right there. at my house, “I need to listen to something to make me feel happier” is always followed by Get Better.
That is exactly the song I was listening to.

Hipster overload at the tea bar!

BFScott and I went on a double date with his brother and his brother’s girlfriend. After going to a (delicious!) Thai restaurant, we went to this tea place called Remedy Tea.
IT WAS SO COOL YOU GUYS. You go down this little staircase and there’s a row of test tubes lining the wall on your right. Each test tube is filled with a different kind of tea (just, um, just dry tea leaves and...

on weddings and proposals

Lady K and I got married by the county clerk, on a Monday morning, with zero planning, in painter’s clothes and blue jeans. Went by my mom’s office afterward. Mom asked what we were grinning about, I said we got married! Mom looked at K and said,
WHY?
That was 16 years ago, and the third time around for both of us. Formal weddings are overrated. As are other people’s...
Oh, good morning.
I have absolutely no idea why I’m awake right now. Well. That’s a lie. I have a small idea.
Gotta start taking my meds in the morning :/

Motherhood and the Abortion Debate →
“I simply don’t—and won’t—accept that their beliefs extend to my body or that of my child’s. One person’s religious belief is not a golden ticket to encroach upon the right of another to decide the appropriate path when faced with an unplanned pregnancy.”
A great article, although she does later refer to “making” her hypothetical teenage daughter have an abortion if she...
The Real Victims of Stupak-Pitts →
See guys? THIS STUFF HAPPENS EVERY DAY. It’s not just a few cases here and there wherein the woman in question happens to meet your criteria for an abortion being okay (if you even got your head that far out of your ass to begin with.) And even in those cases, laws that prevent access to abortion hurt people. Abortions don’t kill people; laws that make them inaccessible do.
Mates of State fans:
I’m making a mix, and I need your opinion. It’s a(nother) New Year’s mix, and this one has a slightly more somber tone. I’m considering two MoS songs: “Get Better” and “I Have Space.” I’m leaning toward the latter. Your thoughts?

So my mother just called, demanding to know why I deprogrammed her TV remote during the Christmas party this evening. I told her that it is 3am and I haven’t the foggiest clue how to deprogram her remote. Her response? “Well, that non-answer tells me all I need to know, except for why you did it.”
Siiiiiiiiigh. If I were less tired, I would cry.
Sometimes it makes me sad to...

If you have no health insurance, you’re probably aware of these places already. On the chance that you’re not, check this out.
I’ll keep that in mind for after I stop being eligible for Austin Peay’s health services (which are pretty shitty anyway.)

For those who wonder, the godchildren I’m prone to mention have no formal relationship to Lady K and I at all. They’re just people the gods set in our path who seemed like they could use an adult or two in their worlds who weren’t authority figures or batshit crazy, and who would treat them like they were worthwhile. And they tend to be remarkably bright and...
