[10:17] nathonea: yay?
[10:17] BiGaCtInGmAmA: (auto-response from BiGaCtInGmAmA) Away
[10:17] BiGaCtInGmAmA: He said he may be getting lunch with his uncle if not he'll text me and join us
[10:18] nathonea: sweet
[10:18] BiGaCtInGmAmA: And I agree with your totally unrelated note
[10:18] nathonea: yup
[10:18] nathonea: it sucks
[10:18] BiGaCtInGmAmA: It hurts
[10:19] nathonea: and it's annoying
[10:20] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Definitely
[10:20] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Oh random: I found my ace bandage
[10:20] nathonea: awesome
[10:20] nathonea:
[10:21] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Hehe I'm reading an article about Iowa, and it is making me happy
[10:22] nathonea: ? why? what's in Iowa?
[10:23] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Iowa Supreme Court ruled that denying gays the right to marry goes against the state's constitution. Gay Marriage is legal in Iowa!
[10:24] nathonea: Wow!
[10:24] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yeah! Seriously
[10:24] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Random middle of the road state
[10:25] nathonea: seriously
[10:25] nathonea: I wouldn't think the Midwest would be a place for that
[10:25] BiGaCtInGmAmA: In my supreme court class we learned today that ironically even though most states don't allow gay marriage, under certain conditions all states would have to acknowledge gay divorce
[10:25] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Exactly
[10:26] nathonea: wait, what? how would that work/
[10:26] nathonea: ?
[10:28] nathonea: http://
[10:30] nathonea: hmm, I just took a look at the political representation from Iowa, and it has democratic leanings, but it's actually mostly even
[10:30] nathonea: 3 democratic congressmen, 2 republican. One democrat senator, one republican senator
[10:31] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Wow.
[10:31] nathonea: so a fairly even state
[10:31] nathonea: I just found a direct quote from the supreme court
[10:31] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yay for states actually upholding equal protection of rights
[10:32] nathonea: "We are firmly convinced the exclusion of gay and lesbian people from the institution of civil marriage does not substantially further any important governmental objective."
[10:32] nathonea: I'm tracking it in all the major newspapers
[10:32] nathonea: it showed up on NYtimes 2 hours ago
[10:32] nathonea: now it's in the Chicago Tribune
[10:32] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yep!
[10:32] nathonea: as of half an hour ago
[10:33] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yay!
[10:33] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I is happy
[10:33] nathonea: msnbc 25 minutes ago
[10:33] BiGaCtInGmAmA: They did what should be done. Not base gay marriage as a religious or moral issue, but as a legal issue
[10:34] nathonea: yahoo news 5 minutes ago
[10:35] nathonea: Rueters 2 hours ago
[10:35] nathonea: http://
[10:35] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Even though marriage really has nothing to do with courts. It is a license. Nothing more
[10:35] nathonea: this article has nitty gritty court details
[10:35] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Awesome!
[10:37] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Gah! I love this stuff
[10:38] nathonea: I'm totally news journalism geeking out right now
[10:38] nathonea:
[10:38] nathonea: I was able to watch a major news story break
[10:39] nathonea: it is good news
[10:39] nathonea: but I'm geeking out right now
[10:39] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Haha! Nothing wrong with that at all
[10:40] nathonea: I was able to apply stuff I've learned just this last week from journalism class
[10:40] nathonea:
[10:40] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Haha! Awesome
[10:40] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I've been lamely doing that with my costume class and my supreme court class
[10:40] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Even my spanish class!
[10:41] nathonea: hah nice!
[10:41] nathonea: I already do it with screenwriting
[10:41] nathonea: just journalism has been so much geeky fun
[10:41] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I was able to tell Marc how to pronounce "cuello" during class. Made me feel cool
[10:41] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yay
[10:42] nathonea: haha
[10:43] nathonea: It's always exciting to be in the office when news breaks
[10:43] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Random: I found a really peaceful place right outside sproul to kill the hour I had
[10:43] nathonea: inbetween the two buildings? yeah
[10:43] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I can imagine
[10:44] BiGaCtInGmAmA: In between sproul and watkins
[10:44] nathonea: oo yeah
[10:44] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Very little people and lots of green
[10:44] BiGaCtInGmAmA: And birds chripping
[10:45] nathonea:

[10:52] nathonea: I hope he responds, cause that was really cool to watch
[10:52] nathonea: I'm TOTALLY geeking out
[10:52] BiGaCtInGmAmA:
[10:53] BiGaCtInGmAmA: So am I!
[10:53] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I am sitting here going yay courts and amendments and equal protection
[10:54] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Ironically right before my constitutional law class
[10:54] nathonea: ooo, that'll make an interesting class
[10:54] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Well, discussion
[10:54] nathonea:
[10:54] nathonea: bring it up, see what they say.
[10:54] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Definitly
[10:55] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Supreme court class was interesting with the one crazy outspoken conservative girl in there
[10:55] nathonea: alright, I'm going to have to stop refreshing my email. I should wait another hour before checking it again, wait for my professor to have time to email me back
[10:55] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Haha
[10:55] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Breathe
[10:55] nathonea: it was really neat
[10:56] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I know! Eeee!
[10:56] nathonea: I work in the online information business, to a certain extent, and stuff like that is really neat

[11:14] nathonea: cause the IOWA Court website was CRASHING
[11:14] nathonea: here's a copy of the actual court decision
[11:15] nathonea: http://
[11:15] nathonea: so cool!
[11:15] BiGaCtInGmAmA: And class is over
[11:15] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Woot
[11:16] nathonea: and professor hasn't emailed me back yet
[11:16] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I love constitutional law
[11:16] nathonea:
[11:16] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I want a gavel!
[11:16] nathonea: haha
[11:18] nathonea: I could totally become a news junky if I'm not careful
[11:19] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Hehehe
[11:20] nathonea: it's just neat about how press enterprise wrote about it right before it happened
[11:20] nathonea: then it was politico
[11:20] nathonea: then everyone else
[11:21] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I know
[11:21] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Its amazingly awesome
[11:23] nathonea: I'm sending an updated email to my professor about it
[11:24] nathonea: first news station to cover it on air - BBC
[11:24] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Of course
[11:27] nathonea: wow, I've been at work for two hours now.
[11:28] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Cool
[11:28] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I am with helen and kim talking about how sexy hornby is
[11:28] nathonea: still none of my student coworkers now
[11:28] nathonea: SCARY
[11:30] nathonea: so do you want to meet downstairs at Rubios at 1:30?
[11:30] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Sure!
[11:30] nathonea: sweet
[11:30] nathonea: Rubios sounds amazing right now
[11:39] nathonea: and I just got a text from Carrie saying her school has a writing studio
[11:39] nathonea: like, a physical place to write
[11:40] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Awesomeness!
[11:40] nathonea: and I so wish UCR had a physical writing studio
[11:42] nathonea: darn the professor hasn't replied yet
[11:42] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Haha
[11:42] nathonea: I really shouldn't have had the energy drink this morning
[11:42] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Breathe. Relax. It will come
[11:42] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Ooooh dear
[11:43] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Not a monster I hope
[11:43] nathonea: no, a sugar free drink
[11:43] nathonea: called xenergy
[11:43] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Good
[11:43] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Hmm
[11:43] nathonea: it's one of those "healthy" energy drinks
[11:43] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Secretly I wanna go get a monster
[11:43] nathonea: haha
[11:44] nathonea: me on monster is a scary thing
[11:44] nathonea: cause caffeine affects me so much
[11:44] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yeah
[11:44] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Dani is convinced that sugar rushes and how caffeine affects a person is completely mental
[11:45] BiGaCtInGmAmA: I say nay
[11:47] nathonea: haha not me
[11:47] nathonea: cause I get affected by stuff I didn't know had sugar
[11:47] nathonea: like tomato soup
[11:48] nathonea: lots of sugar in there
[11:48] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Really?
[11:48] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Didn't know that
[11:48] nathonea: tomato soup and ketchup
[11:48] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Knew it had lots of salt
[11:48] nathonea: much higher sugar content then you'd think
[11:48] nathonea: more than some varieties of dark chocolate
[11:49] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Yeah kecthup definitly has lots of sugar
[11:49] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Interesting
[11:49] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Wow
[11:49] nathonea: or white bread
[11:49] nathonea: a lot of people think that white bread is bread and therefore healthy for you
[11:49] nathonea: nope
[11:50] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Oof
[11:50] BiGaCtInGmAmA: No it isn't
[11:50] nathonea: because the flour has been so bleached, your body processes it in the same way it processes sugar
[11:50] BiGaCtInGmAmA: But it is delicious
[11:50] nathonea: so I can't eat white bread
[11:50] nathonea: unless I eat a butt-ton of protein and other complex carbs with it
[11:53] BiGaCtInGmAmA: That made me think of a very Russian sandwich
[11:53] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Loads of meat
[11:54] nathonea: yup
[11:54] nathonea: basically
[11:57] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Oh so random but when we were doing the playworks meeting, Marc pulled the folder from last year. I squealed when I saw Brian's play
[11:57] BiGaCtInGmAmA: Went down memory lane
[11:58] nathonea: there are times when I absolutely love the fact that my job is in the same office as the UCR press release office
[11:58] nathonea: the doing research for accurate terms really fast is really cool
