hitched, etc.
December 4, 2006Odds and ends from the weekend:
* Anthony and Sherry are now officially hitched. It was a very sweet, if a bit unconventional, wedding. He played cello for her, they did a shot of whisky to seal the deal, and the wedding dinner cuisine was Ethiopian. I’m so happy for them; it seems like a really wonderful match-up.
* Blogging every day for a whole month straight was an interesting experience. I’ve enjoyed the little break I took, but I will try to be more regular with my postings here.
* Invisible Keith was out filming nearly the whole weekend. I’m glad he’s back. I’ve missed him and his ongoing floorshow.
* Disturbing ad: there’s a tv ad for some Disney phone or another and the kid using it thinks it’s really cool and says his mom must be the best mom ever. They cut to the mom, who is showing her friends how she can track his every move via her phone or computer, and all the friends tell her she must be the best mom ever. That full surveillance of one’s children makes for good parents is more than a little unsettling to me. It seems to be taking helicopter parenting to a whole new, even more insane level. They say the president sets the tone for the nation; I guess secret surveillance is the in thing these days.
