Here we are again, scrounging up links from Google Reader. But let’s catch up with what’s been going on the last couple of weeks:

  • Hawaii was great. We went kayaking, snorkeling, hiking (kind of) and saw my brother get married. Congrats! I also go the worst sunburn in recent memory.
  • Tinh’s wedding was great and it was a good time playing bocce (and getting our asses handed to us) by kids literally half our age. We are getting old.
  • Sarah’s wedding was also awesome and we had some great food along the way, including a tasty burger at Garden State. Maybe I’ll write up more on that later.
  • Saw Scott Pilgrim and Despicable Me in the last week. While Jonas has some valid points, I can’t agree on the overall sentiment that there was really nothing there. But more on that later (promises, promises).
  • We had a pretty constant flow of visitors the past couple of weeks, and it’s been so much fun, especially with the nice weather and food we’ve been consuming. I’m pretty stoked that B-dogg is moving to B-ham (again) and hopefully we will get some new music going very soon. On the hunt for a bass cabinet.

Desperately hoping to go to NYC in the next couple of months in order to get it the hell out of my system since I’m actually really loving being back in the NW now, what with all the people and weather. Fall is coming, and it really is my favorite time of year with those late afternoon suns and crisp days. Reminds me of going to school.

Lastly, there’s a couple things that I’d definitely revisit below. One of which is Ebert’s 10 things about the mosque, which, while I really should not be talking about it anymore, is a list of very good points about the mosque. If there had been a mosque there already, would it have to be torn down in order to appease the Right?

In any case, to wash the taste of tiring politics out of your mouth, I’d also watch Cee-lo’s song. It’s too catchy.

Yo! We’ve been soaking up the sun here for the past few days, but it looks like we’re going to get some rain this weekend. No matter, because as of 5pm today, I’ll officially be on a week’s vacation. It’s our Week of Weddings coming up, and folks have been in town all week. We have batch 5 (6?) of strawberry ice cream in the works, and B-dogg also whipped up some egg nog ice cream. Our first try at mint ice cream is sitting in the fridge waiting to be frozen. Deliciousness, here we come.

The end of summer is coming way too fast. Sorry for the reminder. GOLDEN GARDENS BONFIRE ANYONE???

  • Blue Angels would be cooler if they were quiet, didn't use up tons of gas, and weren't based on machines that kill people in their on-time. #

Yeah, it’s been a little while, huh? Sorry, we’ve been busy over here making ice cream with the kitchen aid, swimming in the lake, hanging out in Yosemite, and generally enjoying summer. We’re gearing up for Wedding Week 2010, where we go to 3 weddings in 7 days.

I also have to go get two wisdom teeth out today, which might be fun, but probably not.

Damn, that Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin album and Sir Luscious Leftfoot are goooood. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. What have you been doing?

  • Holy crap @sslyby plus @jumex on first track is awesome. reminds me of lands farther east. Nice work guys! #
