Things you find in old disk drives





Anna and Dan came to my wedding last January. This was exceptionally exciting since I had only heard of Dan prior to the wedding. Anna had shown me a few blurry cell-phone photographs a while back when she first met him, but she swore he looked just like me. As it turned out, she was right. We're both Filipino/German half breeds. In some very startling ways, our lives are more parallel than even the most Twilight Zone-esque bonds I've shared with some. True to Anna's guess, Dan and I bonded immediately, and it's a good thing, too. Anna and Dan are scheduled to be married, and I tend to be protective of her, often grilling her about who she's dating in an almost parental fashion. Daniel passes the test.

This photograph was taken in Michael's and my hotel suite after my wedding. Anna, her sister Austin, Dan, Michael, and myself sitting in the room worrying about my drunk Los Angeles friends who were heading out to cruise the Tempe college scene. We took in excess of 50 pictures while Anna and Dan were in Phoenix. Likely, you will be subjected with more later when I run out of things to write about like today.

My friend Amy G. has graduated from Journalism school in Berkeley! It's fun to think back on the days when she was still considering going, then the process of getting there. We became surprisingly good friends during her first year. In most cases, I tend to be extremely callous to people I don't seem to know very well, but Amy is a very likable and intelligent woman. This is my greeting card to her to say, "Congratulations, you Jewy Journalist! Mazeltov and whatnot!"

She's been working some time on a piece that truly interested me when she first began writing it. Now that it's finished, it will soon be published. Even though there are very few readers to this journal as of late, I intend to link it here because after dissecting Amy's writing for around two years, I already know it'll be a good read*.

*Never mind the time I slammed her about a 9/11 piece she did some time ago. It wasn't meant to be biting. I was just tired of the topic. No, really!

My husband and I bought some honey meade from an online winery. We just tasted it today. Lesson learned: DO NOT BUY LIQUOR OVER THE INTERNET.
