apropos of anything

Y’all, I want this shirt:

Last night, while Dan was allowing the untimely consumption of a potted orchid, Anne-Marie and I were at the Braves game trying not to think about our imminent doom at the hands of George W. Bush. It was so beautiful in Atlanta last night we actually did manage to forget — for a while anyway [...]

The last post has been erased on account of http://www.electoral-vote.com messed up and Georgia is NOT a battleground state after all. That does not, however, give you a reason not to vote on November 2. I don’t care if you live in freaking TEXAS. Go vote. And vote Kerry while you’re at it. You don’t [...]

Some days you wake up and think, “Wow, I don’t know if I can manage to go to work today.” But you have to go because there are deal deadlines and Ivan will think you’re shirking if you don’t show up on the day you’re supposed to clean out the fish tank.

I finally got a copy of Aasif’s pictures from Sumaiya’s wedding. They are far and away the best pictures out of our amateur bunch.

Some people have told me September 11 wasn’t, and isn’t, a “big deal” to them. Hard as I try, I simply cannot understand why.
It’s been three years, and I still remember every detail of that day — what I did, what I wore, what I had for lunch, what time I came home from work, [...]

So, yeah, no more wedding posts. I was too tired and there was too much going on. I’ll try and post a couple of pictures later, after I’ve had a chance to size them down.
There is something unsettling about coming back to your house and still feeling you’re living a life that isn’t yours. [...]

The camera was on LSD, but aren’t we pretty girls?

Sumaiya and me

I’m trying to track down the other (good) copy of this picture…
