I just read a list that suggested "Standing" from the Buffy musical! But there are a couple if good bin creepy suggetionshttp://offbeatbride.com/2007/06/non-sappy-fatherdaughter-dance-songs

I was reading through that one a little bit ago!

Not that I am planning a wedding, but I would love "Isn't She Lovely," except isn't that a little much to pick for yourself?? Yes, thank you, I AM lovely!

Re: wedding favors- we gave out bookmarks. We made sure to get extras, to give to folks at conventions.

That is also brilliant (um, in addition to the other thing I said was brilliant hours ago)

Oh, I like "Isn't She Lovely".

Man, I think I seriously messed up adjusting my coffee grinder. Way too fine. The grounds just whooshed right through the filter of the Aeropress and then also mostly got through the drip filter I poured that cup through.

Ginger, I bookmarked your post on the radiation so I have somehwere to go back to when I say "I know someone who understands radiation much better than I, and she says . . ."

I was thinking about that one, because I love that song, but I hesitate, because...yeah, it seems a little conceited. (I actually have a Stevie Wonder CD next to me in case I want to rip that song.)

Stevie Wonder sang it at Ross and Rachel's fake wedding!

Definitely have it on the playlist, if not for the father/daughter. Never too much Stevie!

If your dad picks it isn't conceited.

The one where the doves put the ring on her finger?

Mm, like fine. I have a french press but the key to it is to let it settle and pour gently into the pot. Because otherwise, my coffee has texture. But then, I came to loving coffee in the CzR, where they boiled fucking espresso grounds in a big kettle, let it settle and that stuff could lacquer walls. But oh so good. In tiny teacups.

Manages to get out to Hampdenfest's last hour and eat a gyro, then a couple hours of live music from my friend/neighbor (I need a shorthand for that)'s boyfriend's band at Cafe Hon*, where they managed to pick up new fans from the Hampdenfest stragglers walking by, which is awesome. But I couldn't last. Came home and am still decompressing.

* mixed feelings on this. On one hand, the owner did some stupid community fouls. On the other, she gives them a standing gig once a month and she is one of his regular guitar lesson clients and apparently is a sweet eager learner. Her bartenders are also really nice. And she's at least given face to undoing her fouls, how legit, I dunno.

If I'd realized and made cowboy coffee or Turkish coffee (which is very much like the process you describe, sarameg, except small kettle) it would've been perfectly okay. Actually, the cup of coffee I got was perfectly okay, the grounds pretty much settled to the bottom of the cup as I drank, just the process was so very different from what I expected it was unsettling. Mostly, I wish this grinder had come with a bit more in the way of instructions so I would know if I was turning the adjustment wheel the wrong way or what - I want a coarser grind in part so it'll be easier and quicker to grind up my beans of a morning.
