Don't Divorce Us

Here's a vid about the potential fate of California's married gay folks.
I'll admit it. I cried a little bit.


"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

Cool, innit?

where's stephanie?

forget where's waldo...

so, i haven't been posting all that much, but i plan to post about my bird show extravaganza (perhaps on my own site since i'm sure you all hear tooooo much bird talk from me), but here's a picture game for you~!

i went to the 9.30 show on tuesday night and i was reading this oh-so-sucky review of the performance when i noticed that my sister and i are in the pics~! it's super dark, but nevertheless...we're there.

where's stephanie up in that balcony??



thereeeeee she is...with raquel on her left:

Tomato perfume and baby fun time.

I love the fun names of all these perfumes.
My top picks are:
Gathering Apple- "Thousands of ripe red Makintosh Apples and a bit of old weathered wood from the bushel baskets"

Lavender Tea- yeah, that's pretty much self-explanatory.

Memory of Kindness- "the shining green scent of tomato vines growing in the fresh earth of a country garden"

Narcissus- "the scent of narcissus, clean running water over mossy stones, the wind blowing gently through green leaves"

The Wiggles

THIS IS MY JAM! HAHA!

Fruit salad, yummy yummy
