Malaise

It was a largely uneventful day. I sent off a brief e-mail to the publisher of the newspaper group for which I work expressing my displeasure at a recent policy decision, and later, I chatted for a bit with a new acquaintance from Sudan. I chatted briefly with Z as well.

I seem to be suffering a malaise today. I haven't eaten all day, aside from a little snacking here and there. I have no appetite. I've slept very little the past two nights. My thoughts are in disarray, and my heart is no better. I feel as though nothing is solid. Nothing is secure. It's a struggle even to hold onto hope anymore sometimes.

The good news: things will get better. Have a bite and a good night's sleep, awaken to a better day.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. Hopefully some sleep will help. I can relate to your feelings of hopelessness, especially in a world of constant change and insecurity. Hang on tight, and take some time to take care of yourself.

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but
