Shanghai Yummy

Sometimes you make changes for a real reason, sometimes you make changes because you have nothing better to do, and then still other times you make changes because your friend tells you it might be a good idea, and he pretty much does it for you.

Well, I submit to you the latest advancement in Shanghai Yummy technology, the move to Movable Type... courtesy of Yukino.

In other news, Eric and Elaine's wedding on Saturday was pretty special. One advantage of being the absolute last among your friends to even think about marriage is that you can plagiarize blatently all the highlights from their weddings... this is exactly what I plan to do when, a billion years from now, I finally tie the knot. I'll probably steal quite a bit from Eric and Elaine's book, because they had a really sweet wedding. And if the bride and groom happen to read this, it was not my idea to sing "Meaty Cheesy Boys" at the reception.

On Sunday, Mike, Brian, and I paid homage to Ruby Beach. The first time I visited this place, I was in a lot of turmoil, and that visit helped me start coming to terms with everything that was happening... that was nearly five years ago. Since then, I've been back a couple of times, and it's been a different place every time, physically as well as spiritually. These return trips have allowed me to take a moment of pause to consider the changes in my life since the last visit... the place makes it easy to do this because of how different it is itself every time I go there. We can check on each other with each visit, like old friends seeing how each other have progressed in the years gone by.

I think it's possible that I'll keep visiting that place from time to time for as long as I live... but I've already noticed some differences. For one, there were about twenty other people there this time around. I remember the first time I went there with Mike, there was one other person and because of the fog, we were more like ghosts passing in the mist. At the risk of sounding snobbish... it was disappointing to see so many people in our secret place. Or something.

In any case, as promised, I slept through today. But tomorrow it's time for sexy steak...
