outtakes

I know you're supposed to post really perfect and beautiful photos on your blog, but guess what folks!? Life is not perfect and beautiful all the time -- in fact, most of the time life is weird and wonky.

I have no idea what is happening in this photo but Chris and I look so funny so I just had to post it. I think the photo shows us as we really are: simply human. [p.s. I highly recommend clicking on the photo to enlarge it to full weirdness :)]

Friday Links Round-Up

**Every Friday, I compile a friday links round up for Sojourners' blog, God's Politics. I thought I'd start reposting them here as well :) 

Anne Rice. Elena Kagan. Kanye West. Baseball. Here's a little round-up of links from the web you may have missed this week:

• Anne Rice quits Christianity. Many people respond.

• The immigration debate is heating up. Get your information here.

• Watch this inspiring video on how "scraper bikes" are transforming youth in one Oakland, California, neighborhood.

• If you haven't been reading illustrator Christoph Niemann's NYTimes blog, "Abstract City," start reading immediately!

• The Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to a seat on the Supreme Court yesterday. Check out this infographic showing what is discussed in confirmation hearings.

• Feel like staying in and watching a movie? Consider one of these great films.

• Kanye West + The New Yorker cartoons = Hilarity.

• Finally, for you baseball fans: the greatest catch of the summer:

great story

good friends are hard to find

So when you find em, keep em. This is sort of a crummy picture but I just had to post it. I met up with my college friends tonight for dinner and it was so delightful. We asked our server to take a photo of us and it didn't turn out that great, but I'm glad we got this documented. Cheers!

**edit: yes, that's my unfinished beer on the table. That's about as far as I could get :)

all gussied up

This is right after Christopher's sister's wedding (It was beautiful!). Chris is in his standard issued usher uniform, and I'm wearing an old dress which I was glad to wear again.

We are both saying to the camera, "kiss me, you handsome devil"

silk shirt

I went to a wedding this weekend and my friend Mel wore a super beautiful silk shirt and now I can't stop thinking about how pretty and simple it looked.

Hers was white but this color is pretty too. Isn't that nice?

wow shakira

Warning: Very sexy but very incredible dancing! And how about those Korean drummers in the beginning? I sort of want to learn how to do that.



sort of reminds me of that brazillian dance, capoeria.
