mass confusion, Play-Doh, and my couch

Today I learned that a group opposed to Washington state's gay marriage ban cooked up an initiative that would give straight people three years after the wedding to produce kids, and if they didn't, the marriage would be annulled. Judging from the comments on the article, Washington has a bunch of worried straight people who are completely missing the point.

In other news, by reading an article on the science behind Play-Doh, I learned that the Play-Doh smell is an added fragrance, and the universe has shifted because it never occurred to me that I'm probably sensitive to Plah-Doh. But it turns out that you can make almost exactly the same thing at home, but it's less brightly colored and has to be refrigerated. Life is hard sometimes.

So onward to the important news: for the first time ever since we came to Arizona, we sat on the couch and watched tv. The couch could use some more work because you can still kind of feel the springs when you sit down, but that didn't stop us from sitting on it for the last 4 1/2 hours.
