Act of Love #1: I know you've all felt it. A little frisson of excitement in the air. A little extra twinkle in the barista's eye. The angry guy at the bus stop is expectorating less. And all becase it's my baby's birthday today! Happy Birthday, Katr! I love you with all of my heart and hope all your birthday wishes come true! And that some of them involve us being naked! With cake! Naked with cake! Okay . . . now I need a moment.
If you'd like to leave my girlfriend some birthday love, feel free to head over to her personal blog - OR, go vote for My Name is Kate in the "Best Business Blog" category over at the Canadian Blog Awards. Awards make great gifts! Especially when they're presented with cake! While naked! Woooo!
Act of Love #2: I felt like I'd really dropped the ball on blogging this week - until I remembered that when she was stranded in an airport Monday, I guest posted over on Katr's personal blog so that she wouldn't miss out on her NaBloPoMo post! Because that's what we do for love. HA ha!
Act of Love #3: The third part of the trifecta is the gay marriage part. Katr sent out an e-mail t'other day from Canadians for Equal for Marriage. It seems likely that our conservative Prime Minister Stephen F(uckface) Harper is going to keep his pre-election promise to re-open the whole gay marriage debate. Possibly next week. It's an important, hot button issue. Because as we've all seen, gays gettin' married has TOTALLY DECIMATED the delicate social fabric of our nation!! TOTAL ANARCHY!! I can't even go for a walk anymore without seeing people on the street making sweet love to their dogs and flippin' the bird at kindly old ladies while having inter-species orgies among boxes of Christmas oranges!!
So if you have some time and you're Canadian and you think a) Harper's a dicksmack and/or b) you think we homos should continue to have, you know, equal rights, contact your MP and let her or him know that right wing crazies aren't the only people who take the time to contact their MPs! Phone, e-mail and letter are the preferred methods of communication, so that's put the kibosh on my dog shit o' gram. FOILED! Maybe for Harper's birthday.
So I got a busy day ahead of me! Badgering my MP, making the country safe for gays to marry, preparing for Katr's birthday evening of nakedness, awards and cake, planning a variety of other fun for the weekend - it's not going to take care of itself, people! And hey, to those of you who've made it through NaBloPoMo, congratulations!! My hat is off to you. And if you've seen the weather reports for Vancouver, you'll know what a significant gesture that is.
