The official VM fiancee moved in yesterday, and we celebrated with a double-feature of So I Married an Axe Murderer<\/a> and Showgirls<\/a>! I got a light dust of snow to fall during the night, so she woke up to a peaceful view of our suburban future.<\/p>\n

“Wow,” she said. “The only thing we’re missing is a monkey butler to serve us coffee.”<\/p>\n

And you wonder why I’m getting married!<\/p>\n

In other news, I posted another set of pix to Flickr<\/a>. There’s about 100 snaps from my October 2002 trip to Paris<\/a>, including some good “celebrity” shots from Pere Lachaise.<\/p>\n

I figured out some neat Photoshop automations that should help me process a whole ton of other shots so I can post them up there, too. The big set from New Zealand will likely be next.<\/p>\n

I hope you all have a great holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
