unintended holiday from flambingo over, so catching up.......the california supreme court has halted the issuing of licences to same sex couples, presumably the pro-theocracy movement will attempt to ban shellfish and divorce next. theres a lovely comment on the previous entry from someone who received a bouquet while standing while waiting to be legally married.
katherine gun's legal move to get the government to release the legal basis for war fails to travel, but it seems less and less likely that the 'no precedent for release' will hold up in the long run. combined with the intended legal challenges from the released guantanamo detainees and the distinct possiblity of serious defeat in the council and european elections comming up theres still no respite for the government.
the men released from guantanamo have been talking of thier treatment, camp x ray seems to be an experiement in interrogation and low level torture tecniques, and rather sweetly thier desire for shortbread ("We were all obsessed with Scottish Highland Shortbread - we wanted some so much").
on a more personal note i'm off to the invicta fencing competition to see if i can wield an epee and reading the manuscript found in saragossa a kind of 1001 nights with bandits, cabbalists, vampires that unfolds like a puzzle box delivering back to where you started before another fabulous digression. wonderful, funny and extemely wierd.
it's a life of total glamour. and thanks to mr shaw for the gentle nagging.
