Yeah, I know the meme's instructions.
"List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you, the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Don't take too long to think about it, and don't worry too much about forgetting favorites -- just put what pops into your head."

Nothing huge to report. Pride weekend was full of good friends and good times. In fact, it went a little bit like this... ;)

I saw this photo on Yahoo's most emailed photos today along with its caption: "A stingray leaps out of the water as it is hunted by a killer whale, whose fin can be seen below the ray." I found myself wondering... Why is it that we wait until something is chasing us before we try to fly?

Chris's Fancy Pants 2009 was a huge success. I know Jey and I had a fabulous time. I think everyone else did too, and here's the photographic proof. My Fancy Pants 2009 photos have been uploaded to Flickr. :)

Jey and I are working through a lot of changes in our lives, and it's all good stuff even tho some of the moments here and there are really difficult to get through. I just haven't been ( Read more... )

Why didn't we have awesome Star Wars bedding options like this? Don't get me wrong. I loved the Star Wars bedding I had, but this Millennium Falcon hyperspace quilt with the matching pillow shams is a whole new level of cool. I'd buy one for my bed now, as an adult, if they made it in a true queen size (as opposed to the full/queen size they do ( Read more... )
