I MOVED!

All the loyal readers of this blog have probably realized that I haven't posted in quite a while. That's because, as the title says, I MOVED! Neil and I have left Boston (so sad) are now in South Florida and are settled enough for me to start classes at Nova Southeastern this Monday, August 1st. Much has happened since I've written, and hopefully I will be able to write about some of it. I have NO idea how much time I will have to blog once classes begin and most of my time will be spent studying, and the majority of the rest will be with Neil. I'm sure I will be able to share a tidbit or two. In the meantime, don't forget to wear sunscreen.

HP 7.2 Final Trailer! SQUEE!

Here it is! The trailer for the last Harry Potter movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. So many of my favorite scenes from the book are going to be in this movie, and some of them are highlighted here. I actually teared up watching it.

I am so impressed by JK Rowling's story telling, and even more so with the how the last two films are turning out. Neil and I are going to the midnight showing. It's going to be awesome!



Who else is excited? Anyone else going to the midnight showing?

New updates coming soon!!

Friends! I have been mired down by my responsibilities at work, and making some big decisions about school, so I haven't posted as much as I have wanted, recently. I'm hoping to post on such topics as; marriage equality in New York, religious language, Adele, HIV vaccine updates, deafness, and reason. Anyways, that's what I will be writing about soon! I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy writing them. Here's a music video to entertain you while you wait. It's dedicated to Neil. ;)



Marriage Equality Update

Friends who fight the good fight! For a couple months now, a guy from California named Matt Baume has been updating the world via two youtube channels, first the Prop8-centric Stop8org, then the more inclusive Marriage News Watch. If you were ever curious as to how gay marriage rights are doing across the nation, Baume does an excellent job collecting the stories, presenting them, and then explaining what can be done to help move the country towards equality. Here is this week's video:

This issue is huge for me, for hopefully obvious reasons, if you know me. Right now I live in a state where I am allowed to get married to the person I love, but those protections and responsibilities will not follow me down Florida, where I am going to school. When you do not have marriage equality, simple things become ridiculously difficult. If we're married, Neil should be covered under my health insurance provided through the school. They are unwilling to do that, and we have to go down to Florida, crossing our fingers that he can find a job so we don't have to spend a fortune on insulin supplies (more on this issue later). That problem isn't as big as potentially losing a legal spouse due to deportation. Watch the video, follow along; this is one of the most important civil rights movements going on in the country. I hope that you care.
