Maine votes to take away Church rites

Maine voters have spoken: Churches no longer have the right to decide which couples can marry in their church.

I've slept on it, and I realized that there are things that No-on-1 could have done differently. Running an ethical campaign against unethical christianists hasn't worked. Time to start using their own Rovian tactics against them.

Also, DOMA has become the biggest excuse to prevent marriage equality. Looks like this year we'll be filing taxes as "married."

Chemistry overload

We had "Exam #2" last night. Kinda like a mid-term. I didn't do great. It was a tough test. There is just so much stuff crammed into this class, it's hard for my brain to process all of it. The teacher gave 70 minutes for the exam. She stopped it after 80 minutes. No one had turned in their exam before the end. Like me, most people probably finished, but it took a long time to review. I'll try to remember to give a link to the exam once it's posted.

After frying our brains with the test, we had over an hour of lecture. She sped through metabolic pathways, naming carboxylic acids and amines, and decarboxylation reactions. She stopped a few times and asked, "any questions?" I laughed to myself. The only question on my mind was "Huh?"

I'm dreading the final exam. It's comprehensive. In addition to the weekly homework, I think I better start reviewing from chapter 1.

Fruity husband

double_ohsteven met me at work to go to lunch today. We went to King of Falafel. Eggplant on lovash. Mmmm.

Steve then taught me something about fruit numbers. You know those labels? Not only do they help the cashier charge the correct amount, but they can tell consumers something. 5-digit numbers starting with 9 are organically grown. 5-digit numbers starting with 8 are genetically modified. 4-digit numbers are conventionally grown.
