Well done, you, for embracing convenience foods in these economic times. Keebler Elves need jobs too — especially the vegan ones.

And besides, I don’t believe in tempting fate. When I use a frozen crust, I have a 89% chance of a reasonably successful culinary adventure.

Well…probably. Lambda Legal (as of September) isn’t sure what’s going to happen.

“Because your marriage will have been valid at the time it was entered, we believe you will still be married after November 4, 2008 regardless of whether the initiative passes. Initiatives usually are not retroactive and this initiative does not say that it would be. If the initiative passes, there will likely be people or organizations who will try to argue that your marriage is no longer valid and that you were divorced against your will as of November 4. It is hard to predict with certainty what courts would decide because this situation is unprecedented.”

So, according to a friend of mine who understands constitutional law much more than I do, even if Prop Hate passes, those marriages cannot be dissolved. They are grandfathered in, and they will remain married, legally, unless they choose to divorce.

I went to a commercial screening of The Fall last night [paid to see it a few days ago, and will buy the DVD if I can't find a nice long loop of swimming elephants elsewhere, but:], and hit either a plateau or abyss as I actually pulled out a notebook to jot down all the not-just-homage-or-reframing-but-omg-total-ripoffs, shot for shot. And almost bitched about it, afterward, but then realized no one else in the cohort had noticed. 'Cause they hadn't seen any of the -qatsi films, or Joel Peter Whitkin's photography, or listened to any field recordings or, say, WOMAD CDs (the director credits himself for writing the Ramayana Monkey Chant.) We won't even get into how Mama Mia is a Bastardization of Antonia's Line, and OMG Yet Another Thing In Which Colin Firth Plays Depressed Guy Upon Whom Others' Happiness is Reliant, This Time in Diving Bell et la Butterfly Revisited™ Only [x] Months After The Fact. Plus I have a new rogue hair that unfurls itself, with alarming frequency for such a regularly lush-appearing strand, inside my right ear.

I do that a lot. I have to remind myself whether I’ve written on a topic before.
