Today

10:47am CDT Saturday 29 June 2002

Wow. I just read some about emacs html-mode. It will simplify some things that I've been doing by hand in html, but it won't let me graphically manipulate tables, which is what I'd like to do for presenting the proposed calendar.

2:20pm

Marta and I are at Paint This!. She's got a heart, a yin-yang, a four leaf clover, a star, a flower, and comedy & drama theater masks on her plate so far. I've been working on a tile for the new countertop. It's the one that we had spot put a paw print on, that basically looks like a blue blob smear. I drew little circles where his paw pads might have been, and then four red claw marks as if he had clawed the shit out of the tile.

Jennifer is offering to give/find a great home for Spot. I'm super thankful for that.

5:52pm

Marta and I hung out; listened to music. She read random lines from my Pulp Fiction screenplay and I identified the exact place in the movie it was from. The first line she read had been cut from the movie though, so I didn't get it: "I'm not a cob of corn, you don't have to butter me up." I checked out her pics from Prague in the photo album/scrap book she's making.

Now I'm off to Amy's sister's wedding.

Rob!

Hey!  Right now I'm chillin' in my house and Austin
Roth is taking a shower upstairs.  Hes back in okc for
the summer, nice.  

Right now I am working the whole week of my birthday
(my last work week) and am intending to go to new
orleans with a friend from australia and a friend of
his from dallas from like the 13-19 of August.  So
those are my plans now.  I am still working towards my
$3000 goal by the end of the summer and i only have
about a thousand to go, which is great and totally
feasible.  

I'm still leaving August 26 from Dallas.  Not sure yet
how I'm getting to Dallas because my mom and sister
will both be in London and my dad will be hardcore
campaigning.  I may just fly down there or something?!
 Anyways (not a word apparently, but it works), I
would love to spend time with you after SWUUSI,
however my birthday week is probably not choice.  How
about New Orleans?  We are going to try to stay with
Laura Manning (an awesome YRUUer from N.O. who was on
GA staff with me), but otherwise we will be in the
hostel in downtown N.O.  Not much is worked out now,
its just in our minds as a do-able thing. :)

I would love to spend as much time with you as I can!
I love you and miss you and hope things are great! 
What are you doing now since you no longer have the
constraints of a job?  Where are you checking email
from?

Smiles and love,
me

Hey mate!

Where will you be on August 6th?

Well, the question above presumes you will celebrate
your birthday on 
August 6th.  If you celebrate your birthday in the
US this year, and you 
celebrate it after SWUUSI, I'd like to be there.

I'm sketching out my travel plans for after SWUUSI.

I'd really enjoy hanging out with you after SWUUSI
and before you go to 
school.  Are you still leaving on 26 August?

	With Love
	- Rob!

Last night I attended Amy's sister's wedding at Amy's house. It was way casual; the bride was barefoot; he was in flip-flops. I was barefoot as well.

This is apparently their second marriage together. They honored their daughter Raine during the ceremony. She's about 6 or so years old it seems.

After the ceremony and buffet style dinner, karaoke was the entertainment of the evening. Amy really like karaoke; she has probably 50 different CDs of music, though they focus on oldies and country with a little bit of pop from about the 80s and 90s. Nothing less than five years old.

Marta called me from Hard Rock Cafe, where she had just been treated to dinner with her church group. I invited her over and we sang Elvira ( by Oak Ridge Boys??). I know the song pretty well since my dad had it back in the day; we listened to it a lot. I gave it my best country twang and Marta did the low Giddy Up a Doo Wop part. Big cheers; it was deemed to be the best performance that night.

Later, after I butchered Arethra Franklin's RESPECT (and Marta carried it pretty well) we just let a CD play and sang as we were able the different songs. Sounded bad enough that we cleared the room. After some 10 songs ish, we joined the group. Amy was all, "what about our backgroud entertainment?" At least it was appreciated by someone. :-)

Great fun party; good job Amy et. al. for successful hosting. Oh, and great job to Amy on the awesome slideshow!
