The pieces finally fit

I just realized it's been quite awhile since I watched What Dreams May Come. I should do that the next time I go home (it's Mom's DVD). But, on the other hand, there's a good chance I'll end up bawling because...I thought, before, as a plain ol' romantic boi, I got it. Now...damn, I get it.


Chris Nielsen: I need Annie.
Albert: That'll change in time.
Chris Nielsen: Oh, come on Einstein! Time's not on my watch anymore. Time does not exist here. And wherever it went, it's not going to make me need Annie any less.

Chris Nielsen: Is that a kind of occupational hazard of soul mates? One's not much without the other?

Albert: Soul mates. It's extrememly rare but it exists. Sort of like twin souls tuning into each other. Apparently even in death.

Chris Nielsen: I forgive you.
Annie Nielsen: For killing my children and my sweet husband?
Chris Nielsen: For being so wonderful a guy would choose hell over heaven just to be around you.

I want to live in Massachusetts

Massachusetts changes policy on gender marker change

The new policy requires a person who wishes to change the gender marker on their state issued identification to submit an updated application together with a Gender Designation Change Form, signed by him or her and a medical provider attesting to the gender that the individual considers himself or herself to be. The policy no longer requires a person to submit medical proof of sex reassignment surgery or an amended birth certificate.

Okay, someone tell me why, when Mass. has yet to spontaneously combust from all these wonderful human rights things, other states haven't followed suit?
