Aaaaaaaaand I'm back. I can

Aaaaaaaaand I'm back. I can tell by your cheers that you have missed me a lot and are finally weeping tears of relief that the apple and honey picture have slid down your screen. The thing about not updating for such a long time is that by the time I am ready to talk to you all again, there are SO MANY insignificant, yet amusing to me, events to tell you that I hardly know where to begin.

Like when I got my hair cut and had a new hair dresser who was DISMAYED at my current hair cut ("Your hair, it is not fashion."). So much so that he gave me a real quiet and serious consultation where I got confused about whether he was telling me I needed shorter layers or asking whether he could perform a highly experimental and very expensive operation on my favorite pet that was extremely risky but JUST MIGHT SAVE HIS LIFE. My hair is very fashion now.

I could also tell you about seeing "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", but I don't remember anything from the movie except Gweneth Paltrow had very red lips and Angelina Jolie had very big lips and they needed chapstick.

There were times when I could have used your input. Such as when no one could tell me how a gelato with every kind of donut (presumably including creams and jellies and coconuts) could turn out to be a good thing*. Or how two carts half a block away from each other could remain lost to one another for THREE HOURS. Big questions, people.

*UPDATE: Apparently we can taste this flavor for ourselves. Anyone?

I'm not sure I could understate this enough, but there is a small chance that there might be an opportunity for me to meet Zach Braff sometime in the distant future. But if it did happen, these circumstances are such that it would be a smallish meeting and I would probably get to like, shake his hand or something.

And lastly, there has also been various wedding stuff here and there. You would think that if you are planning a year engagement that that would leave you plenty of time not to worry about things, but it turns out the wedding industry wants to worry you about things for as long as they possibly can and will invent things that you should be doing approximately five years before you plan to have your ceremony. I am going to try very hard to tell the wedding industry they can take a flying leap because I will not spend thousands of dollars on a dress, nor will I make finding a limo to the airport a priority. Because you know what? Wedding industry = scary. Besides, according to my bridal etiquette book, it is the groom's job to arrange for the limo to the airport.
