over morning tea: Welcome to the 21st century California
Something from the Here We Go Again file; the California State Supreme Court struck down two laws yesterday which now clears the way for same-sex couples in that state to legally marry – and then the gay marriage opponents started spinning like a bunch of whirling dervishes, plotting and scheming — article here — for ways to prevent the court’s decision which will likely go into effect in 30 days from actually coming to pass.
Are you kidding me? Really? Don’t these people have anything better to do? 
over morning tea: you can leave your socks on, baby… but it’s cash only please
Curious thoughts while enjoying a cup of Imperial Republic Pu-Erh Full Leaf this morning; former members of the Emperor’s Club VIP prostitution ring are rolling over on each other faster than you can say wham-bam thank you ma’am. An article here in the NY Daily News reports that the alleged booking agent who dealt with former NY governor Eliot Spitzer has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors which includes telling a grand jury everything she knows.
a balance of observation and introspection
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” — Buddha
Every morning I start my day in a similar way, with a decision – do I feel that this day will be an introspective day or will this day be one of curious observations about the world around me? Both are significant and necessary because in order to be observant we must have the awareness which comes from looking within, and to look within we must be cognizant of our existence among the many.
I’ve often wondered about the original thought; that very first moment of self awareness when we look around and realize that even tho we are fully and completely alone within our shells of skin, we are surrounded by a universe so large that it defies our feeble comprehension.
over morning tea: love monkeys attack Maine school district… Darwin taken hostage!
Something from the But this isn’t Kansas Dorothy! file; a new front in the war against teaching evolution in public schools has broken out in the great state of Maine – a state known for its pristine shoreline, fabulous lobster, and giving birth control pills to 12 year olds, can now add ‘enemy of Darwin’ to the list. An article here in the Boston Globe reports that some guy named Matthew Linkletter, who happens to be the director of some school district there, is trying to use a backdoor method to push the teaching of evolution out of the science curriculum.
See – and this is what happens to people when they find Jesus; science all of a sudden becomes a theory. And to think I wanted to start the week with something light too… sighs
Stay Naked Sunday: Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all us mums! ; a great article well worth your reading time here on MSNBC about voting mothers – what we’re concerned about and why we’re so difficult to pin down into some kind of voting bloc. But if you’re anything like me, you’re probably so sick to death of the wall to wall primary coverage from your cable news outlet of choice that you just want to get on with it and get it over with. However – there are big issues to think about this time around — issues which affect us directly — and while there are better places than geishaland to get good coverage, I think it’s worth mentioning something about the election every once in a while.
Remember ladies – our voices do matter.

Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars: Thoughts about my ch’i
Thoughts swimming thru my mind after I shut my computer off last night; things are somewhat out of balance, tho not completely, just slightly – like an almost imperceptible sensation of double vision, or like looking at a picture hanging on a wall and feeling that it isn’t quite level. You keep looking at it because you know something isn’t right, and you can’t quite put your finger on exactly what it is.
But you can’t stop looking at it either.
More Republican Nanny State Absurdity
A roll-my-eyes sort of moment while sipping my tea; an article here on c|net news about legislation proposed by Republican US Congressman Mark Kirk which aims to ban Second Life in schools and libraries. Tho this isn’t the first thing on the internet to get Rep. Kirk’s panties all tied up in a bunch – he’s also sponsored legislation which would ban access to social networking sites on these very same school and public library computers.
Because apparently the greatest threat to children is the virtual sex, drugs and rock and roll, right Mark?
over morning tea: there’s no rest for a content slut
Mulling my thoughts over this morning with a cup of Lapsang Souchong Full Leaf; after taking a much required day of rest away from the major comings and goings of geishaland… I find myself with more ideas than I currently have time to explore right now – a late morning appointment with my physician to have my girlparts inspected takes precedence – but later this afternoon is open with possibilities! 
Tho an interesting email which landed in my inbox late yesterday has me thinking some things over on this rainy spring day as I sit here at my desk sipping my tea.
