    If someone I loved rose from the dead, I would find that creepy.

    What I have learned from Facebook social readers is that women really like to read articles about how the media is manipulating photographs of other women to make them feel bad.

    Oh, if you're including the passion plays, I would find it creepy, too. Encouraging children to reenact a historical (as far as they're told) execution is a little disturbing.

    I had the most pleasant Craigslist experience this weekend. I ended up trading my Roland Gaia for a Korg ESX-1 and EMX-1, which was a great trade. In the process, I met a super nice woman and her husband, who have since fallen in love with Carl Sagan's Ghost, and they've actually purchased some of my albums from Bandcamp.

    It was a win-win situation all around. We each got something we wanted in the trade, while getting rid of something we weren't using, I met some nice people who live close by, and they discovered some music they like.

    I wish all Craigslist transactions went this well.

    You could have done the Leslie Nielsen thing from The Naked Gun.

    It's news to us, too...and thanks!

    It was a pretty last minute decision. I mean, we've known for a while that we want to be together forever. And we have also known for a while that part of that plan would include marriage.

    But she has been here since mid-October and we're getting dangerously close to the 6 month, "time for you to go back to the States for a while" mark.

    So we decided to just go ahead and have a civil union. That way we can continue planning our future together (work on getting her citizenship and work privileges, stuff like that) without worry of someone knocking on our door one day saying she has to leave.

    We fully intend on having an actual wedding ceremony with family and a few close friends sometime in the future, but this will get the ball rolling.

    Thanks very much

    We're pretty excited for our lives to begin (or rather, continue onto the next step) together.

    I'm a big fan of the no fuss, no muss style of weddings.* You guys are going to be very happy together.

    Us, as well!

    When it comes time to have an actual ceremony with guests, we'll probably just do it up here in the country. I'd say maybe 40 people, tops.

    It'll be all about the drinking and dancing afterwards
