England

Some time soon, I will sit down and do this amazing trip more justice.  But for today, I am exhausted and so I offer only this photo gallery (with comments!) and a few random videos I uploaded to YouTube.
Enjoy.

Cremaster

Apropos of absolutely nothing (except, perhaps, for listening to a lot of Bjork), I’ve been having very strong urges to see Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle yet again.

Should I see a physician for this or something?

Mas Fotos

I’m back for a quick post of…you guessed it!…more unofficial photos from the wedding. My cousin Sharon is to thank for the majority of these.  Enjoy!

The very first self-portrait of the bride and groom after the wedding ceremony.

It’s Official

We’re married. 
Here is the first, very unofficial yet very awesome picture from the wedding:

Far and away, the best day of my life. I’m so happy.

Small Hands…Smell Like Cabbage

I have, rather unexpectedly, finally got an evening to myself!  We were on our way to pick up Richard’s brother from the airport, but received a phone call* that turned us right back around, so now I’m back home with a bit of spare time for a change.  Richard’s brother was flying in from Australia [...]

Random Sunday Afternoon Post

From the delicious shrimp curry I made for dinner last night:
 
I served the curry over some brown rice with a little dollop of the mango marinade on top (didn’t have any chutney, so this worked quite well in a pinch).  If you’re going to make this recipe, which I highly recommend as an easy, delicious and very healthy [...]

Bridal Portraits

My long-awaited bridal portraits have finally come in!  They were shot by my good friend, Ben, during some rather stifling weather we had back in September.  I’m so pleased that they came out well, despite the hot weather and the dressing room drama of not being able to zip the dress due to the added [...]

Hubris

Oh, how I regret my recent hubris…
You would think that by now I’d learn that every time I make some boastful prediction about a thing that particular thing goes terribly awry.  Today’s game was no exception.  At 1:00, Richard and I settled into our bleacher seats, grinning with that cocky assurance one has when they feel [...]

Shiny New Toy

Richard bought me a new digital camera on Sunday.
Okay, he didn’t buy it expressly for me.  He bought it for both of us, with the Goldberg-esque idea that buying a nicer digital camera would enable us to take good pictures of the couches we wish to sell on Craigslist and that the proceeds from the [...]

Wilshire Village

Here in Houston, there is a beautiful old apartment complex at West Alabama and Dunlavy; those of you from here will know what I’m talking about. It’s called Wilshire Village, or at least it was in better times. Wilshire Village was built at the tail end of the Depression and with a 1939 price tag [...]

The Night Chicago Died

Okay, so Chicago didn’t die.  But kudos to you if you remember that song.  Anyway, I’m in a picture-posting mood, so here are some random pictures from our trip to Chicago.

View of the skyline from the Shedd Aquarium/Field Museum.  I love the saturated colors in this one.  It was cloudy almost the entire time that [...]
