I am qualified, whatever that means. Also, I’m 35. And we’re moving. If you've been following my micro-blogging (also known as tweets or Facebook updates), you know that the big events of last three weeks for me have been, well, the stuff comprising the title of this post. Needless to say (but I'll write it anyway), I've been a little stressed out. Also, exhilarated. And exhausted. The last weekend in May, Rob and I flew to Cincinnati to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. The weekend was pretty wonderful. Once we returned to San Diego, I had to buckle down and prepare for the defense of my fieldwork proposal. Then, it happened. The next day, I was asked how it felt to be "qualified."

It bears repeating: “The top 10 reasons why Prop 8 passed” [NOTE: I originally wrote this ten days after the election, after Prop 8 passed with a little over a majority voting discrimination into the California constitution. Because of today's decision -- that, yes, minority rights can actually be taken away by majority rule in our fucked up state -- I thought it I'd re-post. Enjoy.] In case you missed it, Prop 8 passed. That means it is now illegal for gays and lesbians to get married in California. It also means that the state cannot ...

I think it’s time I owned this situation A couple weeks ago, Rob and I were sitting in Twiggs on Adams Avenue when Rob's phone rang. He went outside to take the call, and I could see his eyes go wide and then he laughed. When he returned, he told me that our friend Eduardo called to say that he had seen a picture of us naked in City Beat. Or rather, he said, "I saw you neekid in that rag, beeshes." Imagine a Speedy Gonzales accent. "Whaaat?!" I ran across the street to ...
