the one that didn't make it in POSTED AT 01:25 AM Here's a photo that didn't make it into our wedding slideshow, but I thought I'd share anyway. I totally had blocked this from my memory until Sarah sent this to me. Apparently my parents liked this photo enough that it made the "slideshow" cut. Not sure what they were thinking. The dresses were made by a streamstress that we knew and my mom picked out the fabric... ...will post something of substance soon, I promise!

the MAN i'm going to marry POSTED AT 11:27 AM in wedding One of the more fun moments of wedding planning is when you get to sit down and pull out the old childhood pictures for the slideshow. I've seen some pictures of Matt (and already know how dorky he is), but this picture cracks me up! Sarah, who's doing our slideshow, emailed me this pic after getting it from Matt's mom. Thanks Sarah!
Betcha didn't know Matt played soccer too. Be still my heart.

March of Mourning POSTED AT 02:35 AM in future/career, Teach For America So two days ago, I participated in a protest with my school (and others) called the "March of Mourning" to fight for pink-slipped teachers to save their jobs. Some facts:
Anyway, the REAL point of this post was to tell you that MY SCHOOL WAS ON NATIONAL TV! AND MY COWORKERS! AND SOME OF THE STUDENTS AT JOHN LIECHTY MIDDLE SCHOOL! Though I fully participated in the march, I didn't make it on TV. I've embedded the CBS Nightly News from today (April 29th) and if you scroll to minute 9:45, you'll see some footage from the protest and from some classrooms in our school. (You'll have to get through the commercial at the beginning first).

Twitter + American Idol POSTED AT 02:08 AM in miscellaneous I just don't understand what all the fuss over Twitter is about. Lately, it's been all over the news. i.e. Kutcher Wins Twitter Battle Oprah announces on Facebook that she joined Twitter and even Obama has his own Twitter Who cares what you're doing every ten minutes? I certainly don't want people to know what I'm doing or thinking all the time...which is why I never cared for Facebook status updates. To me, Twitter is just a glorified AIM away message. Someone please explain to me what the big deal is. The only good use I've seen from Twitter so far is from kogibbq, this Korean BBQ taco truck that goes to all these different locations around Southern California every couple of hours and tweets their new location so customers can come find them. I have yet to chase this truck down! about 1 hour ago from text (i kid i kid) Secondly, Anoop Desai is still on American Idol! Go Noop Dog!! I secretly vote for him every week I like Adam Lambert (and think he'll probably win), but I really really like Kris Allen. I'm gonna buy his CD when it comes out. Here's him singing "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once. SO AWESOME.
