Stateside this week, all eyes are turned to California, where two homosexual couples are challenging the passage of Proposition 8, which made gay marriage illegal. You can check out Newsweek's "The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage" if you want to know why a Republican attorney took the plaintiffs' case.
And you can check out this adorable Irish video (which I could have sworn I already posted on here, but can't find, so maybe that was one of my hallucinations) for another perspective on the subject:
In Which We Love Food
I don't really watch celebrity chefs, because I am a super-crazy picky eater and could never eat all of that "mashed raspberry syrup over lamb shanks marinated in goat's milk and drizzled with curried spinach and ginger shavings" sort of food. I'm more of a meat-and-raw-vegetables kind of girl.
But maybe I should watch Jamie Oliver. He does have a totally adorable accent; he isn't all shout-y and swear-y like one Gordon Ramsey; and this cat lufs him!
Also in Oliver's favor is that his grandparents ran an Essex pub called the Plough and Snail—pub name EPIC WIN.
In Which We Watch Our Backs

Yeah…Oddly Specific is my new favorite website.

Are you an American in the UK? Are you a Tea-Drinker in the US? Do you never understand anything anyone's talking about? Then visit Effingpot for a pretty good vocabulary lesson, covering everything from the game of conkers (which "The Bugle" recently tried to explain, much less effectively) to Cockney rhyming slang (be warned, Americans: septic = septic tank = yank = you).
In Which We Stop Blogging and Do Something Productive
Like, I dunno, go to work like a big girl? Anglotastic out, kidz. Catch you on the flip.
