Instead of blogging

by Kathi D on August 10, 2010

I have been working on my new project, coming soon to your TeeVee screens (in my head). I have been making jam out of anything I find laying around the house. The dogs have learned to look lively lest they be preserved.

Set your Tivo for Pioneer Kitchen. No, make that All About Canning with Kathi. Or, Honey, I Pickled the Dogs!

I need to have my head examined.

Scene of the crimes.

A good day in California

by Kathi D on August 4, 2010

I’m sure this isn’t over yet, but hooray for Judge Vaughn Walker for getting it right.

Judge strikes down Prop. 8, allows gay marriage in California

In a long-awaited ruling, Judge Vaughn Walker says the ban on same-sex marriage violates constitutional rights to equal protection and due process. The decision is expected to reach the Supreme Court.

The federal judge who overturned Proposition 8 Wednesday said the ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage was based on moral disapproval of gay marriage and ordered the state to stop enforcing the ban.

U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker, in a 136-page ruling, said California “has no interest in differentiating between same-sex and opposite-sex unions.”

In related news, Brad Pitt may have to marry Angelina now. He famously declared, “I have love in my life, a soul mate–absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else’,” instantly validating millions of (mostly) men who were running out of excuses.

This photo of my blackberry-stained hand has nothing to do with gay marriage.

What I learned (TeeVee edition)

July 24, 2010

There are those who might think that watching certain TeeVee shows is a complete waste of time. (Like a cat singling out the most inappropriate leg in the room to rub up against, people like that often seem to end up married to people like me.) Although my readers clearly don’t mind wasting time, it’s [...]

WHY, Y?

July 14, 2010

This is going to put a serious crimp in my best karaoke performance. Y.M.C.A. Is Downsizing to a Single Letter One of the nation’s most iconic nonprofit organizations, founded 166 years ago in England as the Young Men’s Christian Association, is undergoing a major rebranding, adopting as its name the nickname everyone has used for [...]

The Real Beginning of Summer

July 9, 2010

It’s July, and what could that mean but the return of Margarita (Not Her Real Name) and her Italian Lover FlaVio (Not His Real Name) to our little end of the street? By mutual (and well-fought-out) agreement, they spend half the year South of the Border in FlaVio’s favorite spot and the other half up [...]

What I learned

July 7, 2010

First, somebody bad made me leave the island paradise and come home to the other paradise. We have fawns and multiple bunches of quail babies, along with unseasonably mild weather that is pretty much perfect, so I really can’t complain. Even better, we had visitors over the long weekend, the kind of visitors who come [...]

Sloth

I will eventually resume “normal” activities. Probably. If somebody (somebody BAD!) makes me give up my water hammock and go home.

Oh, that Barkley

May 20, 2010

I needed this at 4 a.m. No wonder I couldn’t find it. I have been in a major funk the last few weeks, losing Bonnie, then being sick and miserable for so long. Thank goodness this guy makes me laugh at least ten times a day. Thanks to my husband who rats me out to [...]
