I just spoke to the box office for the Aventura AMC 24 theater. The box office said that tickets for the LOTR trilogy go on sale at midnight, which is about 11.5 hours from now, not the theater, but online at movietickets.com. However, I just called movietickets.com's customer service number (888-440-8457) and they said that the tickets would be going on sale online at noon (Central time) on Thursday.

Personally, I'm getting up at midnight, judt to check...

How can someone just say it?

Here's what I don't understand about Shrub's DOM proclomaition - his vice president has a daughter who is a lesbian. And he has said that he loves her very much.

And yet...

And yet...

And yet...

Do her parents think that for her to marry a woman she loves would be bad? Would it somehow denigrate their own marriage, to see the daughter that they love very much married to a woman she loves?

I'm a heterosexual breeder, the daughter of a couple who're about to celebrate their 35th anniversary, and I'm about to buy a minivan, and by dint of that, I don't see the proclomation in the same way that people who are gay or bisexual or transgenderd see it, or the way that someone who's been raised by a single parent - so what the president and others are speaking against doesn't impact my relationship with my husband directly - but, as peacock_harpy said, I can imagine how devestating it would be to know that I couldn't be married to him.

Love is love, and isn't that enough? And how can Dick look at his daughter and say, "You may not marry," and expect that to validate his own marriage? How can someone look at his or her child, and say such a thing?
