Thrice Deviant

Okay, I know that no one follows this dead old blog, but I feel the need to do a short rant.



I realize that no one on any of my friends lists belong to these wing nut groups, so please know that none of this is aimed at any of you. I just needed to beat the anger out on a keyboard.

But I had to. This is too amazing to miss. Gonzales Contata, an opera based on Alberto Gonzales' hearing before Congress, featuring the aria
I Don't Recall".

WIN!

Okay y'all, this is just more news on the Prop 8 thing, for those of you that don't get it on local news. There were protests all over last night, the biggest one being in Hollywood and West Hollywood. There are already lawsuits filed, and we are fighting this. I'm trying to find news that will speak more in depth about how exactly gay rights proponents, but I'm mostly just finding vague articles that bascially say "Some People Are Doing Stuff".

Despite the lack of actual *helpful* news (it seems most of the local news channels don't want to catch teh ghei), I'm feeling hopeful. Prop 22, which said basically the same thing, was overturned back in June. Prop 8 will be overturned as well. And if the courts are too chiken-shit to do it (the vote was four to three last time, so they may very well not repeal it in court), we'll bring it to vote again and we will WIN this time.

Edit: I keep swearing I'm not going to post here anymore but...ah, well. I guess I'm staying. ;) (Now watch me go silent for several months)

I'm trying not to freak out, but I feel like crying. It's only 18% of the votes in, there's still time to turn things around, but right now the vote is at 54% Yes and 46% No.

I can't believe that my fellow Californians could be this cruel. I'm trying to hold out hope. Will edit this post later.

Edit: Oh Lord, I know I live in a hopelessly conservative town when we make the bloody news. The L.A. Times has an article, and not a short one either, dedicated only to how ugly things have gotten in Temecula and Murrieta over Prop 8. Right now 86% of votes are counted and Yes is leading 51.8% to 48.2%. I keep hoping that we'll close the gap, but I know that most of the counties still counting are the rural, Republican communities. All I can keep thinking is that Gay Rights Representatives just keep saying that even if we lose here, all civil rights movements have had setbacks, and we can still win in the long run. But for now it is 3:30am, I have rehearsal in the morning, and I'm a very sad a dissapointed Californian. Good night, all.

Edit Edit: Prop 8 passed. 52% to 48%. I can't even be happy about Obama winning with this to spoil it. I hate Californians.

Because when beffers posts 'em, I can't resist!

I have finally watched Baccano! I finally get what everyone is talking about! My reactions went kind of like this...

1. This series is full of crazies.
2. GLEE! 8D 8D 8D

It is kinda funny though, the ideas you can get about a series if you read fanfiction before you learn the actual canon! I had an entirely different view on what role Dallas played in this story, I hadn't imagined Ladd as being a young man, and I thought Chane's name was pronounced "Shane", just to name a couple of things! XD I feel so silly now!

But I have watched the series, and while I'm probably not going to be jumping on the fanfic wagon with it, I did enjoy it quite a bit.

I'm watching teh sunrise. I've never seen one before--not properly. Whenever I've been up at this time it's because I'm finishing one last thing before I go to bed, or because I'm catching a plane or something and so I don't get a chance to watch.

I'm watching.

I never liked yellow before.

I like yellow now.

Not really posting anything on here just yet...but putting the eggs in distinctly seperate baskets.
