Good times
We played “the parlor game” last night, which Robyn says we used to play in high school but I have no memory of it, possibly because when other people were socializing in high school I was mostly roaming the darkened streets, looking deep into my own soul and hating things. Anyway, it’s a simple game: … Continue reading

We camped at China Camp State Park this weekend for Lisa’s birthday. How have I never camped there in all my years of camping? We had the best spot, way back in the forest next to a stream, with deer and raccoons wandering through the campsite periodically (and occasionally stealing a muffin, the filthy beggars). … Continue reading
Whapping
Evenings like this make me so glad we bought a house that we can cram a bunch of people into: If you’re wondering, we’re playing Zombie Clue, wherein zombies spawn on each turn and you try to collect weapons and kill zombies and get back to the Hall. Jon proved to be best at zombie … Continue reading
True
Me: Have you guys been applying yourselves to that keg? Rob: What the hell kind of stupid question is that?
And you are…
A funny thing happened at our New Year’s party. I ran into our friend Randy in the hall, the first time I’d seen him that evening, and completely blanked on who he was. My rather panicked thought was “This face looks familiar, but I can’t possibly know anyone this handsome.” It’s astonishing what a tuxedo … Continue reading
New Year’s Eve
At our New Year’s Eve party we discovered that the Harry Potter closet under the stairs works as a pretty good photo booth. Here you see me with some supermodels, Merrit (center) and Zina (right). I was calling out motivations all through (“coy!” “angry!” “dead!” “sexy!”), which Merrit and I made kind of half-assed attempts … Continue reading
my yellow yes
I don’t know whether we’re going to get this Alameda house we’re crushing on. But I do know this: yesterday at 4:30 in the afternoon, Michele and I watched a man pee into the gutter at Valencia and 21st Street, heedless of the several dozen pedestrians dodging his flow. In fact, we nearly received a … Continue reading
Wedding photobooth pictures are up!
You can find them here. Some of my favorite moments: 1. Any time an actor gets in the booth. (I’m lookin’ at you, Dan, Ash, Mel and Sean.) 2. The moment when our niece Allegra realizes she can do different poses in different pictures. 3. The moment when my brother-in-law Geoff gets in and immediately … Continue reading
An hour-long shower with girls
It’s hard to imagine what could be better than getting to be princess for a day… Oh, wait, I know what’s even better: getting to spend the day with eight smart, funny, gorgeous ladies you love! (Including Erica, who came after this picture was taken.) Thanks to all you shower attendees, and especially Michele and … Continue reading
Pollyanna
Do you ever take a moment to feel grateful that you don’t have a cold? I recommend it. Just take a deep breath through your nose. Isn’t it great? While you’re at it, give a little love to any part of you that doesn’t hurt. Flex your toes, reach your arms over your head, whatever. … Continue reading
