Holy shit, y'all. My best friend from college, with whom I had a major falling-out in 1999/2000, just sent me a really awesome email. I haven't heard from her in ten years. And it turns out she now lives about five hours away from me. I really thought I was never going to hear from her again, and now I might even get to see her! I'm just stunned, and really happy that she's doing well and wants to get back in touch.
That's great! I hope you guys get together and have a good time, and then have more good times.
I walked down the aisle to
Trumpet Voluntary
which was the same song that Princess Diana walked down the aisle to.
Go on. Be surprised.
I always wonder what the
Trumpet Involuntary
would sound like.
I went to a wedding where the couple's first dance was to Fairytale of New York, though not the Pogues version, but the assembled guests all sang along loudly. Which may have been the point.
I walked down the aisle to something ultra-traditional played on a harp, but we made our entrance to our reception to the Breeders' version of the Buffy theme.
Shir if the guy is still single, it is not too late.
Not single, as far as I know. And lives two hours drive away from me. Not that it would stop me from seeing him, if he was single. Next time I'll run into him, I think I'll let him know he has a superpower on me.
And oh, did I mention I'll attend TEDxTalpiot, taking place in my campus this Thursday, representing Hollaback? (Not as a speaker - but I'll be there).
Speaking of fallings-out falling back in again, the friend I mentioned yesterday came back around today. It's a cautious relief.
I suspected that the problem wasn't really politics, and that turns out to be the case but this is one of those cases where something can't be un-heard.
Anyway, communications have resumed, so that's nice.
Even better, I am listening to the audiobook of "Going Postal." It turns out the tv mini was very, very loyal to the source material. What a delight!
My favorite line: "I commend my soul to any god that can find it."
Enter Sandman?
Sad But True. Just the instrumental opening. What? It's a march.
I'll attend TEDxTalpiot
I don't know what that is but, Go Shir!
It's a TED-like event Laga.
TED is a vat of spicy brains, it is.
