November 4th, 2009
Washington state has passed an expanded version of its domestic-partnership law. And there was much rejoicing!

And my Ph.D. is pretty much finished. Of course, this means the real fun of last-minute expansion and revision in the lead-up to January submission begins, but least it's functionally finished.

Haaah, yeah. That will probably be another story ;) My supervision is on the 13th, so we'll hear what Linne and Derek think then...

So far, I have not really managed to do that. But I'm working on it!

Congratulations on pretty-much-finishing the Ph.D.!

As for the Referendum 71 outcome, it's not officially confirmed that enough people voted Approve, but they're anticipating it based on the results so far. There's still votes that need to be counted.

I turned 18 last month, so I voted by absentee ballot a few weeks ago. If it turns out to be true that the expanded domestic partnership law passed, I will be proud to say I helped achieve the victory.

Satisfying, anyway. Now, finishing the edits, whatever I'm told they should be, that will be amazing ;)
