On June 16 and 17, Naoko and I got married. On the 16th we had our civil wedding, while our church wedding was on the 17th.
This is a photo from the first day, made by Thomer Gil:
Jim Forest has some pictures of the second day on flickr.

Wow. It’s been almost 24 hours, and I’m still amazed: Finland has won the Eurovision song contest. For the first time in fifty years. With a hard rock band. Cool.
When I saw them in the semi-finals, I was, for the first time ever, actually tempted to take part in the televoting.

Today, I was suffering from a very bad headache. I was curled up on the couch, cursing the loss of a saturday, when I could have been processing lots of overdue paperwork. Then suddenly, I replayed in my head the moment I last put coffee from the bag I buy it in into the storage container. I realized the bag had a blue print on it, meaning it was decaf coffee. Oh no! The two cups I had this morning to satisfy my addiction were in fact decaf! Clearly, the bad headache was a caffeine withdrawal symptom. I immediately made a third cup, this time with the full goodness of caffeine. Now I just have to wait for it to take effect.

Language log talks about Blendie. I like Blendie a lot. The following conversation results:
N: Hiingnyiiiiiing.
M: What are you doing?
N: I'm trying to be a blender.
M: I still love you even if you're not a blender.
