Great news! Sweden has become the seventh country to permit same-sex marriage, beginning in May 2009. I've always liked Sweden. The Swedes have given so many gifts to the world: ABBA, those nifty Viking hats, Ace of Base (my first CD, tied with Boys II Men), Swedish meatballs, the word (and the thing) "smorgasbord," and now marriage equality. I even have an Adidas track jacked that has the Swedish flag on it. Incidentally, I was planning to sell said jacket to a used clothing store here in LA this weekend, but I am now reconsidering.
Last week I gave my brother an iPod. Yesterday, Vote for Change gave Her Royal Heiness an iPod. Interesting timing, Mr. President. That's all I have to say about that.
On Sunday I depart for Florida. Sister and I will enjoy a week of sunshine and togetherness (and a $27/day surcharge on our rental car since I'm two months shy of turning 25). Apparently, a tornado touched down in Florida this morning. Super. I was, in fact, oddly obsessed with The Wizard of Oz as a child; however, my great tornado scare while driving cross-country with Small Asian Friend during the summer of 2006 was action enough for me. Aren't tornadoes supposed to stick to the midwest?
The tornado(es) will make your trip interesting, as it did with ours. My one concern was that I was driving, and thus would've been held accountable if I arrived in LA with damaged (but still precious) goods.
ReplyDeleteOh and be glad you're still some amount of time shy of being 25...I'm freaking out over here. Hold me.
...or at least my hand.
