Splitting headache, Naomi Judd on FoxNews blathering on about her book, some crap about all our behaviours driven by our emotions. Well, won’t be getting that book. So I don’t agree with her, mostly my behaviors are limited by pain, currently this headache. But I do follow some rules here. Bah!

I don’t care what anyone thinks, Blogopoly is clever, fun and I always enjoy checking out the new pieces. For some peverse reason, only a Mac person would understand, I love the iMac toilet. Has nothing to do with the linked site, just like the piece, has a certain class.

And I’ve found some new blogs to check out. Most I know and I appreciate Aaron’s choices of game pieces. Think Aaron must be a fun person indeed.

Gotta have a little fun. His last piece is rich, telling, heh!

It’s all Michele’s fault, I took the test and, my results, apparently I am…

Very Picky: It’s official: You’re “picky.” The fact is you are drawn to the most handsome of the handsome. You know what you like in men and are more selective than most women your age. Your tastes seem instinctual. You’d make a great casting agent, because you have a good eye for men who have “star quality.” In real life, your high standards may be an obstacle for you. It’s hard to find a man with the strong features you like, who’s also well-rounded in other ways. Still, you know the importance of a real physical “spark” in a relationship, and aren’t willing (or able) to settle for less. The challenge is finding a man who really wows you physically, even if he’s not the most handsome man in the room.

Considering the few TV shows I actually watch have good looking men in them, not a big surprise.

Some may call one of your types “Pretty Boys,” but all you know is that they’re gorgeous. The combination of classic good looks with small noses, beautiful eyes, and full lips is hard to resist. These guys tend to be clean shaven, have clear skin, and get good hair cuts. They’re taking good care of themselves so they can be “pretty” just for you! [Well, you and the 1 in 3 women (33%) that are also after them!]

Like anyone would think otherwise - Sephiroth, Vincent, mmmmm, yum.

Another of the “looks” that you consistently noticed has been described as “Ruggedly Handsome.” These men usually have strong, angular faces and “chiseled” features. Forget small button noses! You like men with strong, manly noses, balanced with an equally prominent chin. A tan and weathered look further adds to their overall impression of masculinity. Only 1 in 10 women (9%) are uniquely drawn to this type of man over a more traditional mainstream type.

Ok, they did have a pic, not bad at all.

Of course, there’s more to a person than looks. They can be the most handsome devil and be totally unappealing in other ways. Or as it usually happens, I meet a pretty boy and discover we both like the same things, other pretty boys.

Received in the mail and thought it was cute. Thanks Denise.

Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female Poodle. The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort to be the one to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her at the same time. The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return.

Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decides to be kind and tells them “The first one who can use the words “liver” and “cheese” together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out with me.”

The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says “I love liver and cheese.”

“Oh, how childish,” said the Poodle. “That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever.” She turned to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and said “How well can you do?”

“Um.I HATE liver and cheese,” blurts the Golden Retriever.

“My, my,” said the Poodle. “I guess it’s hopeless. That’s just as dumb as the Lab’s sentence.” She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, “How about you, little guy?”

The last of the three, tiny in stature but big in fame and finesse, is the Taco Bell Chihuahua. He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says…

“Liver alone, Cheese mine.”

When was the last time you…

1. …went to the doctor? Couple weeks after my surgery.

2. …went to the dentist? Before I needed all these surgeries - right shoulder, left shoulder, back. Yeah, I’m a wreck.

3. …filled your gas tank? Month ago probably, don’t drive much now.

4. …got enough sleep? Before the Percocet ran out - couple weeks after my surgery.

5. …backed up your computer? Yesterday, so there - have iPod, makes spiffy backup.

It all worked like a charm, syncing my calendar, to do lists and I have iSync set to automatically sync it when connected. My almost PDA here, love the iPod. Still, one thing irks me, the battery life (on a charge) on these third generation iPods is remarkably short, more like four hours as opposed to ten in the first generation. Always recharging it. Wonder how long it will last before it needs a new battery.

Backed up all my files too which was a necessity considering I was installing VPC. Even checked the OS 9 program that had failed when I had that spectacular crash a while back. Had to reinstall it but all is well so deleted the previously saved system. Only glitch was the upgrade I had bought didn’t work so now searching for an older version of the program I am upgrading to so I won’t have totally wasted my money.

Maybe now I’ll get to play, oh still have to install Windows 2000, no big hurry thou. Windows installs take hours anyway, bleagh.

Found this in my mail and it occured to me that’s kindof what’s happening with the gay marriage thing. Ironic, preaching the same tactics, still violating the law, but note who’s upset when others use the same tactics. It’s kindof long so… (more…)

I see Arnold finally did something. From WND of course:

Shortly after a court plea by traditional-family defenders was rejected, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered the state’s attorney general to stop San Francisco’s defiant issuance of same-sex marriage licenses.

Schwarzenegger sent a letter late yesterday to Attorney General Bill Lockyer ordering him “to take immediate steps” to have a court declare the city’s actions illegal.

The jig’s up. So will the court act on his orders?

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom oversaw the first officially sanctioned same-sex marriages in American history Feb. 12. Since then, more than 3,000 licenses have been issued to homosexual couples.

“Our civilized society and legal system is based upon a respect for and adherence to the rule of law,” Schwarzenegger wrote. “The City and County of San Francisco’s unfortunate choice to disregard state law and grant marriage certificates to gay couples directly undermines this fundamental guarantee.”

Eventually flouting the law does get noticed. Kindof hard not to notice with it all over the news.

As attorney general, the governor said, “you have the authority to take legal action to require the City and County of San Francisco to comply with the laws of the State.”

…Stutzman said, “You have, at this point, nearly two weeks of flouting of state law. The governor feels that we’ve come to a point where we’re starting down a dangerous path and it leads to anarchy at some point. It’s time for this to end.”

San Francisco’s defiance is inspiring imitators nationwide, prompting a traditional-family defender to sound an alarm declaring “anarchy is breaking loose across America.”

In a New Mexico county yesterday, for example, 26 licenses were issued to same-sex couples, while in Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley advocated “gay” nuptials in the Windy City.

Those developments, and many more, followed the the Nov. 18 decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that homosexual couples are legally entitled to wed under the state constitution and should be allowed to apply for marriage licenses. The state’s Legislature has been ordered to come up with a law that complies with the ruling by mid-May.

Anarchy? Rioting in the streets anarchy or sealing their love anarchy? Meanwhile the lawsuits fly on both sides of the issue. So which will triumph - equal protection or Proposition 22 and some sections of the California Family Code? Of course then there is the little bit that California won’t recognize the licences anyway cause they changed the terminology on the forms. Moot point.

Course forgotten in all the furor and debate is that there are people very much desiring to commit to each other, caring for each other, wanting all the responsibilities that belong with marriage. That in itself is rare in a day and age where wanton sex is the norm, the do what feels good with no responsibilities attitude prevails. In a sense, these gay couples desirous of marriage are a better moral example than many of the people upset over it.

Not to say I don’t understand the reasons why people, especially religious people, object. I do and I know, in some religions, it will never be accepted. I accept that. I don’t know what is the best way to deal with it, maybe taking it to a vote will be a good thing. I just don’t know. It will be interesting to see where this all leads, one of the more interesting proposals being doing away with marriage altogether, having only civil unions, well except for the churches. Hat tip to Glenn.
