these laws are just the beginning steps towards smoking becoming illegal

I honestly can't see this ever happening.

I'm happy with the smoking ban here. Maybe I'm just a bit more sensitive to smoke now (I used to smoke), but going to gigs or to a pub would give me a headache, watery eyes and sore throat. Before the ban it wasn't like I had a choice of going to gigs/pubs that had chosen to be smoke free -- there w...

-Organ transplantation (!!!)

My Dad started the Organ Donation group in his area in North Carolina and has worked on a lot of legislation, education and stuff. (this is one of his "retirement" projects! ) I don't know if he has any doctor contacts, but I will ask.

I'm on the job hunt too. Just submitted two applications today. The university job sounds cool, go for it!

Pl...

When I was 12 I became totally obsessed with U2. I guess I couldn't consider them *my band* because so much of the rest of the world loved them too, but I did get really in to a lot of the old stuff that I don't remember anyone else (at least my age) talking about/listening too. I bought all the old...

I'm extremely tempted to make this: silky smooth pumpkin pie

That is really awesome. Congrats!!

... and this is awesome: Patton Oswalt's Live Election Blog

I was having crazy ass dreams about election coverage and coloured maps and being stuck on some kind of spaceship with a bunch of McCain supporters. Then magically woke up just in time to watch the electoral votes tick over 270. Then I cried tears of joy.
