We had a great weekend hanging out with former library grad students who all converged in NC for a weekend of goodbye/engagement/housewarming parties. The Cupcakes returned from their engagement island with surprising news of an adoption (stay tuned on their blogs, I am sure it will be discussed). Miles approved of Sammie who [...]
She is cute but a little nervous. Miles has been a good host and showed her around the house!
I have a couple of books to loan/give out if anyone wants some late summer reading material:
Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel: This is a great coming of age story done in graphic novel form. Sorta like Dave Eggers but by a lesbian with a different story.
Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon. [...]
Ellen and I saw Once tonight and we both really liked it. It is basically a musical but with great music and very basic, hand held camera work that gives it a documentary/dogme feel.

All this talk about weddings reminded me of the time E & I went to a friend’s wedding out in the country about an hour or so outside of Lawrence, KS. We didn’t make it to the ceremony but we went to the reception at the local VFW (or was it a Fire Hall?). [...]

Did you say depreciating assets?
We bought a new car today (Honda Civic LX). It is very much like our old car except it has working air bags, power windows, cruise control, input for an iPod, and it isn’t broken! We had a very nice salesperson who wasn’t sleazy like some car people we’ve [...]

We had a great time with the entire family at J’s Mom’s beach house on Long Beach Island! I have more photos to post and some editing to do on them on but you can click over on flickr to check out what I have so far.
I think I have a temp job at my current employer lined up so I will have some income during my first semesters in school! However, now I am realizing that I am going to be much busier in two months than I am right now and I need to take advantage of my [...]
