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.
Ooh nifty! I have watched some of those TED vids before, I just hadn't realized it was a Thing.
A couple I'm acquainted with were married by their best friend in a Darth Vader costume. He did not pay to become a minister of the universal life ministry or anything. They did no paper work. I'm not sure they actually married. Then again they staged a wedding and present themselves as married with apparently the intent of being married. In Texas (which is where they are) that may still legally constitute common-law marriage. However seems like an awfully frail reed to hang the rights that come with marriage on. She put him on her health insurance, and if he ever has a serious claim I'll bet the insurance company uses this to fight it.
Ha! Now I'm curious which song it was.
I don't remember. I'll have to ask my brother, because I would bet folding money that my mom doesn't know either.
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.
Awww, I've been to a lot of weddings that use Trumpet Voluntary, and I think it's really pretty!
I love it very much. It was gorgeous cause we were outside, in the late afternoon, in the summer, with wildflowers and such around us....
This may sound like a stupid question, but -- did a trumpet actually play it? Because I've been to weddings that use Trumpet Voluntary, but on an organ. Which isn't quite as grand as it ought to be.
Yes, but not a live trumpet. It was a recording.
