TiMER

2010 Jun 29, 1:24

An excellent movie I'd never heard of. An entertaining and humorous sci-fi indie romance comedy. It stars Emma Caulfield (who I recognize as Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) who obsesses over her timer, an implanted device that counts down to when she'll meet the love of her life. Thematically its similar to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which similarly adds a scifi device to society in order to examine the value of failed relationships on a persons life.

End Love by OK Go

2010 Jun 19, 3:57

OK Go's new music video for End Love. It looks like a single shot of just over a day sped up. Sarah doubts it though based on the lack of them eating, drinking, or taking care of other bodily needs besides sleep.

I'm Married!

2010 Jun 12, 2:18

2010_05_Dave and Sarah Wedding_Sarah and Dave Married WalkDid I mention that I got married two weeks ago today on May 29th? Its true! Our wedding was a kind of planning singularity -- all of my planning efforts would get sucked into that day and I couldn't make any plans past that date. But the actual wedding itself was lovely and I didn't feel nearly as stressed out or nervous during the wedding as I did trying to plan for it. I've been gathering wedding photos on our wedding website photos page.
