It's Bacon! And a side of gay marriage

Well I shall apologize for my neglect over the past week. I wish I could say I didn't blog cause I was hard at work studying 24/7, but then I would just be lying. I'm afraid I've never been one of those people who outlines 3 times before an exam. But good work all of those out there who do. If it gets ya the good grades, then go for it.
Now during one of my study breaks I decided to partake in Subway and cash in my Sub Club card while I still could. In case you hadn't heard, Subway has decided to discontinue the Sub Club, and I think as of yesterday they stopped handing out points. So now Im actually going to have to buy every sandwhich there. It was a sad day when I heard the news. But anyways, back to my study break. So Im standing in line having my sandwhich made, and since I got a toasted one the one person who was working started making the sandwhiches for the lady behind me. I guess I should probably preface this with the fact that I was at the Subway by K-Mart, so it sits next to what Im told is the ghetto of Iowa City. So you can imagine what the lady in line behind me looked like. The gay man in me just wanted to scream out and point out all the problems with her wardrobe. And her hair...well let's just say she looks like she spent about $10 getting it done. Something that's ok for a guy, or a lesbian with a boy haircut, but not for a woman with the length of hair this woman had.
So the Subway girl asks what this woman wants. Well two of her sandwhiches were nothing special, but then for a foot long she orders...bacon. Well I waited for her to finish the name of the sandwhich, but nothing more came out. She actually ordered a bacon sandwhich. Now I was raised on bacon, so I enjoy it as much as the next person. But I dont think it has ever been considered a main entree or primary deli meat by anyone I know. Its always an extra. You get a hamburger and add bacon. Or you get a club sandwhich with bacon. Its a nice add on, but this woman ordered it as the only meat on the sandwhich. And then she didnt get any cheese or mayo or mustard. Just a couple veggies. This just seems crazy to me. Bacon is not meant to be treated as the starring meat, unless you are a dog.
And in totally unrelated news, Im so happy to announce some old news. Another state has legalized gay civil unions. And whats more, they did it by passing legislation and having it signed by the governor- a first for the US. So which state ackomplished such a feat you ask? Was it ever blue California? Or perhaps the progressive New Yorkers? No, it was....Connecticut. So now all those gay men can flee Manhatten for lovely Connecticut so they can have their vows. Hmm, well I doubt that would actually happen unless 5th Avenue moved, but its a step in the right direction. So next time you meet a...um...Connecticuter?...shake their hand and say thanks for electing such wonderful folks. Gosh, now Im going to have to brush up on Conn facts. I only know where it is. Hmm, road trip maybe?
