Pelican in Her Piety

I’m on a bit of blog recess and have been also out of the loop. Enjoy.

We had shabu-shabu last week before we went to the Magnetic Fields concert in Somerville. It was my first time to have shabu-shabu, and we tried Kaze in Chinatown. It was good, and we are definitely going back. I only had one problem burning my mouth badly not paying attention.

Magnetic Fields concert wasn’t so great. They aren’t particularly enthusiastic about giving concerts. Claudia was particularly annoying and Merritt was usually cranky. It felt like they were forced to tour for their album.

I am not surprised at all by this revelation about the MBTA canceling trains and buses without telling anyone. No one seems to be pointing a finger though at some of the likely root issues: the legislature and the unions.

I am still obsessed with the question of what gay marriage is/is not and should/shouldn’t be…

marriage equality” has become associated with, to me, probably because it’s been almost exclusively pushed by, a very specific kind of marriage advocate who generally sees marriage as not just the most important gay issue out there but the only gay issue out there, who doesn’t see the fight for same-sex marriage as part of a larger movement to recognize non-heteronuclear family structures or expand the benefits associated with marriage to those who don’t want to get same-sex or opposite-sex married, and who thinks that once marriage is won with a few other, smaller pieces of legislation, it’ll be time to close up shop and go home.

The rest.

I seem to have picked up the cold that was going around my office last week. Unlike many of my co-workers last week, I am going to stay home on Monday so as not to spread it round more.

Brief party this weekend and lots of typing on funding proposals…
