We may or may not have mentioned that recently Niki treated us to a day at the Renaissance Faire. This was our birthday gift and also something we planned WAY in advance seeing as how Geoff and I have insane schedules and the Faire falls after the beginning of the school year and Niki is a middle school teacher.

Dragon skull washes up on beach in UK
So dragons ARE real….
Well, ok, not really, but it is a pretty cool promotion/publicity stunt for Game of Thrones. I wish one of these would “wash up” on Plum Island or something. I would drive up there just to get my picture with it.

P.S. Yes, this story is a couple of weeks old, but I didn’t get a chance to post anything about it until now. So nyah.
Ding, Dong! DOMA is DEAD!
I am currently at work and Teri and I are doing the happy dance. The Supremes have struck down DOMA. I haven’t read the decision yet, but the fact that it is now DOA is awesome. Will June 26th be remembered as the day that all Americans received equal treatment under Federal law no matter who they marry? We’ll see.
I’m letting the live blogging from here scroll through in the background while that venomous little hatemonger Scalia reads the dissent. There is something nice in knowing that history will judge him and that he’ll end up on the wrong side. Of everything.
More later,

In case there was any doubt Peter Dinklage is awesome…
here is the definitive proof.
I had not seen this before, so if you have, sorry. But when Dinklage won his Emmy two years ago for his role as Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, among the people he thanked was the woman who takes care of his dog. How classy and made of awesome is that?
