Woot! My computer has, in its infinite felicity, once again decided to play sounds. Earlier today, through about three reboots, it wasn't. I may start sacrificing squirrels to it, if the random weirdness keeps up, as that's bound to be less expensive than buying a new one.

Anyway, yesterday I went to a wedding - my friend-who-used-to-be-my-boss got married at the botanical gardens, and somehow my best friend and her boyfriend and I rated three of the ~50 seats, which was cool, but mostly made me feel like I was seated wrong, since some of her out-of-state relatives were stuck behind us...

She's Unitarian, so the service was very simple, minimally theistic, and included a poem which is apparently only present on the web as part of a sample Unitarian wedding service. It was a really cool poem, though, and such a guy-like expression of love that I couldn't help thinking of Fraser and Ray when I read it.

Or, er, maybe that's the obsessiveness.

Driving home from my grandparents' house today after doing the Father's Day thing, I was listening to my 'only new rock alternative' radio station, which is actually based in Canada and thus plays a lot of relatively low profile Canadian indie music. I wasn't really paying attention until I heard the DJ say "by Billy Talent," at which point I stared at the radio, but, of course, he didn't say anything else on the topic.

So it turns out there's a Canadian indie rock/punk group called "Billy Talent," named after Billy Tallent of Hard Core Logo (I checked - it says so right on their noisily flash-intro'd website, if you scroll way down to the bottom of their bio.)

giggle.
