Look at Seth Getting All Complimented and Stuff!

So, yeah, Seth's story in the Tori Amos anthology is the best one. (Also her favorite, we are told. Okay fine, "one of" her favorites, but she was probably just saying that so that other people's feelings wouldn't be hurt.)

Seth Peck and Daniel Heard contribute a piece based on one of Amos’ most popular songs, “Cornflake Girl,” from 1994’s Under The Pink album. In “Comic Book Tattoo,” the song inspires what Hoseley calls “an epic horror story of otherworldly evil and maternal betrayal. It’s a dark, creepy, surreal fever dream that, like in the song, deals with the danger and pain of conformity of what ‘good and proper’ girls are like -- but in a completely unexpected way.

“The thing that blew my mind was that Seth took all these little one-off lines, little random lyrics that really don’t have anything in the way of deeper meaning in the song, and he wove this epic that seamlessly incorporates those elements as integral parts of the dialogue and narrative in a way that is pretty amazing.”

EASTER 2008

I really tried to get a nice picture of everyone. I promise I did. But to be fair they had sat through a REALLY long sermon at an unfamiliar church, so it's a wonder they weren't bouncing off the walls by this point:

Greg and Sara in Puerto Rico

We are not jealous. We promise. Really. We're not. Totally not. At all. I swear.

Oh, He** Yes We Can!

Just Having a Moment...

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Barack and Roll!

So we caucused for Barack on Tuesday and it was insane! (Seth and I debated whether you can use caucus as a verb--we think so). There were thousands of people at our caucus location and the organizers seemed prepared for a couple hundred. Saw about a million people I knew there- Jason Peterson, my good friend from high school and senior prom date, Mrs. Brewer, English teacher from West, a bunch of Brookwood parents, including Adrian's basketball coach, a couple of attorneys I knew from court. It was really a lot of fun. The kids all came along and were very patient. Although I think now their understanding of the caucus procedure is that you go stand in a long line and get stickers. (Truly, that is pretty accurate.) Also met a really nice woman who works for KC Hospice and plan to contact her to tour their facility and volunteer. I am so drawn to that work.

In the end, the split was true to the statewide results: about 1900 for Barack and 400 for Hillary. Saw today that the Clintons just put 5 mill. of their own money into the campaign, meanwhile, Barack has raised over 7 mill. from supporters since Super Tuesday. I would love to see this man as our next President. We need someone with vision and someone who believes in this nation and its people. We've been missing that for a looooooong time (like 8 years at LEAST!)

Oh- also, I have the flu. :o(

Happy Four Monthaversary!!!!

I love you more than I have
ever found a way
to say
to you.

Next door there's an old man
who lived to his nineties,and one day
passed away in his sleep.
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away.

I'm sorry, I know that's a
strange way to tell you that I know
we belong...
That I know that I am the luckiest.
