I’ve made a new music mix for July. You can get to it using the “my tunes” button on the right, or by clicking here. (Can you tell that I love Vampire Weekend? And the Eclipse soundtrack? Yeah, well.) Happy listening!
So we bought a new camera. No, it’s not the Fuji Instax (though that’s probably next)… it’s this super-cute, teensy tiny digital Harinezumi 2. (Did I mention how much I love Photojojo?) It shoots lovely vintagey, grainy video and lo-fi stills in color or black and white. You can shoot in the macro mode, and it makes everything all blurry-delicious.

I think I’m still in denial. I didn’t get many photos of the actual wedding (you know since I was weeping and all), but look how beautiful and happy she looks: It was sweet, and lovely, and lots of fun. And now she’s Mrs. Pierce. Sniff. Congratulations, baby girl. You’ll always be my shoebox driver.
