What's that they say about idle hands?

I've bitten off quite a bit lately, fandomwise. Between overhauling the après l'école site and working on slashcast (two episodes now, yay! but OMG editing sound files is a sloooow process), I haven't had any time to write. I keep hoping things will settle down and I'll be able to get back to work on that series I posted the prologue to back in December. I have lots of plans for that, just no time to write! And I still need to read Walking the Line, which everyone on my flist is raving about, and I don't know when I'll have time for that either.

*sigh*

So how are all of you?

Local politics

There's a proposition on the ballot in my city that would remove the current ban on domestic partner health care benefits for city employees. They did a bit on the news about it and the supporters they interviewed were very well-spoken. Then it cut back to the newsanchor, who said, "Critics of the proposition say it inappropriately promotes alternative lifestyles."

Wait, let me see if I follow the "logic" here: Withholding health care from someone who is gay will be an incentive for them to become straight? 0_o

The election is May 13, a weird enough date that only the people who feel strongly either way will go out to vote. That could be good or bad.
