Wednesday Writing: Dan Savage

On Saturday, the lovely ladies behind the San Francisco branch of A Practical Wedding (the first blog I ever read religiously) will be discussing this book:

which I highly recommend to anyone, regardless of where you stand on the gay marriage debate. The writing is hilarious, insightful, and, at times, heartbreaking, everything I hope a good book will be. I almost peed my pants when I got to the diaper rash scene!

Have you read it? What did you think?

It's Official

I do also want to mention that yesterday, my husband and I legally changed our names. Err, we started the long process that it takes to legally change our names. We filed the paperwork at the courthouse, paid the atrocious fees, found a newspaper to publish the proposed changes for four weeks to see if anyone objects (at least, that's why I'm assuming they make you do that).

So, technically, our names won't change until June 22nd. But I am still pretty effing excited.

More on that later. I have office hours coming up and a Chaucer lecture to write. Woo hoo!
