Wii Fits and Gay Marriage

hiddenmuseSo, "it's been one week..." (ha) since gay marriage became legal in California. The good news is - there haven't been any reports of straight couples griping about their marriages falling apart, or becoming invalid, because about a million or so gay couples can get married, just like them.
I don't know of any bad news - except that fundies are still seething and gnashing their teeth, waiting (im)patiently for November, so they can attempt to rescind our right to get married.
What, are they afraid that we're actually gonna do it right? That we're gonna upstage them with the ceremonies and receptions? That if we can get married - who will help plan their weddings? We're too busy planning our own! ;-)
The Wii Fit? Kellie got that almost 2 weeks ago, and it's awesome. Granted, I kind of skip over some of the yoga and strength training, in favor of my awkward attempts at step aerobics and boxing, as well as skipping over moguls left and right on the ski slalom game.
I don't trust the weight tracker for anything, since it shows insane weight fluctuations over 24 hour periods of time (gaining 3 lbs overnight? HAHAHA) - and I'm not really doing this to lose weight. Right now, I'm more interested in getting more coordinated and balanced, as well as improving my general fitness. Losing weight would just be a nice side effect.
And, as many other have mentioned, George Carlin has died. It's a sad day in my little world - he was one of the "forbidden" comics in my family, as I was growing up. Granted, I could watch "Benny Hill" and "Bizarre" and see topless women on late-night "regular" TV - but George Carlin's dropping F-bombs was not allowed. At all.
So, when I grew up and had access to his comedy routines - I really got into it. It seemed like his wit and observational humor (as well as Lenny Bruce's) were influential on comics like Dennis Miller (before he crossed over to the Dark SideTM) and Lewis Black.
As I'd read on a message board - the radio stations and TV networks should be allowed to play "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television", uncensored. I'd *love* to see people's reactions when they hear "shit, piss, cunt, fuck, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits". (Tater tits for all!)
Rest in peace, George. You'll be missed for years to come. {And in the Frisbetarian tradition, he will be on a rooftop somewhere, looking down upon us all - and laughing.}
