FAIR!

The State Fair starts in 19 days! How could I have forgotten?? Augh. Must go. Must go with people!

Hey, anyone wanna come down for an evening at the fair? :) Or a weekend? I will happily host, as long as people don't mind sleeping on the floor. It starts the weekend of the Halloween party, sadly, but continues through the next weekend, so even if I end up going to the party, the next week would still be good.

Also, Serenity will likely still be out in theaters at that time, soooooooo. It could be an entire weekend filled with fun!

In the news.

Massachusetts Rejects Gay Marriage Amendment: The proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Mass. was overwhelmingly voted down, 157-39. Those that voted against it included those who had previously supported the ban. In fact, one of the co-sponsors, Republican state Senator Brian Lees, said, "Gay marriage has begun, and life has not changed for the citizens of the commonwealth, with the exception of those who can now marry. This amendment which was an appropriate measure or compromise a year ago, is no longer, I feel, a compromise today."

In less cheerful news, Karl Rove has been put in charge of Katrina reconstruction efforts (It's slipped into the ninth paragraph, so look close!). I have no doubt that his tremendous experience in things not at all related to disaster recovery will serve him well in his endeavors. Well, at least Halliburton is happy, right? And for those who believe Bush really stands for limited government, I give you a quote from him, "It is now clear that a challenge on this scale requires greater federal authority and a broader role for the armed forces." Yes, indeedy.

Also! Yesterday, a naked man, wearing nothing but sneakers and a football helmet ran through my university cafeteria. It's just one of those things that makes you feel kind of giggly inside.
