Happy hour is the best.
As much time as I spend on tumblr, I still just do NOT understand why people are so in to pinterest.
Good news!
I learned tonight that Evan Peters is only 3 years younger than me!
Now I feel much less creepy about being totally in love with him.

Adding to my list of Democrats who should consider...
Bob Etheridge- He has experience running a statewide campaign (Superintendent of Public Instruction) as well as having been a member of Congress. Downside: he lost to a tea-party crazy in 2010, and it would be nice for him to take that seat back.
Anthony Foxx- Current mayor of Charlotte. He succeeded Pat McCrory, who is almost guaranteed to be the Republican nominee, so that could divide the...

Democrats who should consider running for Governor...
Roy Cooper- He’s Attorney General. He’s well liked, and fairly well known.
Brad Miller- The Congressman from District 13. Republicans in the General Assembly redrew district maps to put his home 50 yards in another district represented by the wildly popular (in his district) David Price. This would be a giant Fuck You to the General Assembly if he won.
Elaine Marshall- She just...

The marriage amendment vote just got much more interesting now that there’s a good chance of a Dem primary fight.
More thoughts on this later when I am not on my phone.
The good kind of tired.
Today our lgbt student group co-hosted a panel with the family law society about the impact of New York’s Marriage Equality Act for everyday practicioners. We had 4 practicing attorneys, plus a state Assemblyman and the ED of a marriage equality organization, and it was amazing. It came together really well, they had over 40 law students actually stay and then ask legitimate, engaged...
Missing SOTU for the first time I can remember
But I’m too tired to care.
The most amazing thing about my day though:
At least 5 different people used my iPhone charger and it didn’t get lost.
I dont know what’s going to happen with the marriage bill in Jersey, but I do know that there’s something incredible about being part of about 6 organizers that coordinated hundreds of supporters for an event at the state capitol.
I hope I don’t have to spend the rest of my life fighting for basic civil rights (as in, because they’ll just fucking happen already), but I...

That’s a little less than the 9 or so hours of testimony we had last time.
4 1/2 hours in Trenton.
Check in done.
Testimony just began. Here we go.
The Not-So-Retiring Barney Frank (You Gotta Love...
Andrew Goldman: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
AG: Why not?
BF: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
AG: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
BF: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?
And he's a Republican

There is no punch line. It’s not a joke.
WatchIf you’ve got 14 minutes, here’s a 60 Minutes piece about how shitty banks have been during the foreclosure crisis.
I know, 14 minutes is forever in internet time. But trust me, it’s worth watching.

Important developments in my day
Lay down for nap at 4:00
Forget to set any sort of alarm
Sleep until 1:45
Wake up like, really ready for the day.
I’m sure this will be good for my sleep cycle.

I brought home all of my books from school so I can do all my reading for the week ahead while I’m hiding from the snow.
We’ll see how that works out…

Rick Santorum is claiming that he can win swing...
Dear Rick,
You lost reelection by a 17 point margin in 2006.
That’s not a swing state margin.

“LIBERTY LIBERTY LIBERTY…as President I will overturn Roe v....”

Don't worry everyone
Ron Paul is a doctor. Just trust him how he knows about how abortion is wrong.
Also, porn has something to do with it…
I’m kind of impressed that Santorum managed to put down Romney and activist judges in the same sentence.
