We just watched a spectacular fireworks display from our back porch! I'm not sure if it was for the Olympic Torch, or the Giants opening night... but here's a poor shot from my camera phone:
[Oh wait, you can't see it because my brand new web/camera/video/MP3/will-make-you-a-pot-of-coffee-if-you-ask-it-to/phone doohicky thing isn't working. Curses!]
On a less irritated, happy in-fact, note... Matty's band, Vitamin Party, has a song on the latest episode of The All-For-Nots, a scripted web docu-comedy covering one indie-rock-pop-punk-Americana band's tour across the country. The song featured (appropriately titled "Vitamin Party") starts at about 35 seconds in and only lasts for a few moments. You'll get the gist, but if not, here's the official music video:
Cheers to that. In other happy news, Matty received word that he'll no longer be let go at the end of the school year. Whoo hoo! Now I can go back to spending all of my money on wine, tacos, and looking good.

I like that you got your priorities straight.
As for San Fran, I'm going to a family reunion (with my parents!) I'll be there May 9-13, and we'll probably go see the Giants every night since my dad is their A#1 fan, and they are conveniently playing all home games that week.

Noelle: Cool! That's actually the one weekend in May that I'm actually free, so please let me know if you'd like to get together and do something that doesn't involve baseball. I'd love to show you around (do you have my email address?) - Matty and I give a mean walking tour if you're interested :)
San Fran for a family reunion? - do you have a lot of relatives out here?

Yay, Kirsten and Noelle get to hang out! But boo, I want to come hang out in San Fran too.
Also, congrats to Matt. It's always such a relief when you finally get word that you're not getting canned.

Oh right, you're the one with the exploding head ending! That was one of the best.
I just hope your city didn't explode because of some silly little flame running through the streets. Wait- "flame" was intended as a less-obvious word for "torch" and not "gay man out for a jog." Whatever.
Take care of those kidneys.

NPW: what's stopping you from hopping on a plane? Boston isn't that far... :)
Mickey: Ha, more like gay man out for a protest...
