Thanksgiving 2008

It's been a relaxing Thanksgiving. A lot of quality time spent with the fam. Marieta made a ton of delicious food, I made an awesome (aren't I  modest) Pear-Apple-Cranberry Pie (with a cool top design). Let me just show you the pics.

A Not So Relaxing Holiday

A couple years ago Marieta and I invited both of our families to Chicago for a big ole Thanksgiving dinner. It was massive. Like a 20 lbs bird and probably close to a dozen, if not more, sides. I would put it on Marieta loving to cook but I am not sure that is correct. I think I suggested the whole both families idea and she just went along with the idea. Last year we went lofi and just drove down to L.A. for thanksgiving with my family. This year? we're taking the beast by the horns, again. This time there are only five of us, and the bird is considerably smaller, but Marieta still wants to make it special. New side dishes, two pies (I'm making a pear and apple pie), and this time everyone gets to stay at our apartment! Hooray! I'll post some pictures to let you in on the Turkey Day goodness. Rock n Roll.

Take a Peak For Yourself

This wedding website is pretty much maxed out for wedding materials now. I don't know what else could be put on the site now. You can watch the whole thing from Proposal to the Vows. I love it. This is the what differeniates the 21st from the 20th century. 10 or 20 years ago if you missed something (wedding, party, birth, concert) you gotta hope someone taped it and you know them or their friend to get a look. Now all you need is a high speed internet connection and 10 spare minutes. I have edited every piece of content down to its feature presentation form and our wedding DVD is coming in at two discs and around 3 and a half hours of viewable material . Is that insane or what? I think doing this thing myself was possibly the greatest idea I could ever come up with. That's it for now peeps. It is 4am, 52 degrees, and I gots work to do. Peace.

Celebrating The Election Via Youtube

Hooray for Tuesday. I wont go in depth any further except to say very pleased with Barack and extremely forlorned with the passage of Prop 8 out here. I guess once again the Supreme Court is gonna have to push change upon the masses (see Brown vs. Board, Roe vs. Wade... the list never ends). So Youtube! This thing keeps getting better and better. It's not nearly as awesome as Vimeo (you gotta love a video player that has no framing or visible controls) They just changed the viewer to add close captions on other site and what not but what I'm really digging is the ability to search it on any site that has an embedded player. I think this feature has been around for a while but I just got turned onto it. So today I'm searching Presidential musical performances and saw Bill Clinton doing the sax thing. Pretty sweet. Somehow I got to this: Good Day to you and yours.
