  • Laughing hysterically at hubby playing Wii Fit Plus

    My husband & I got the Wii Fit Plus game today. That’s him flapping his arms like a bird to play Bird’s-eye Bull’s-eye, and me laughing hysterically in the background. I don’t know how much exercise we got out of our Wii Fit Plus tonight, but the laughs were priceless!

  • I Don’t Represent the Deaf Community

    I was criticized by a deaf person for posting a one-minute long closed-captioned spoken video on YouTube the other day. The deaf person said that they were disappointed that I didn’t sign my video and that, being a sign language interpreter, I “represent the deaf community.” This is my response, signed and closed-captioned.

  • Our California Same-Sex Civil Marriage Ceremony

    Andy & I had already been married by our rabbi at Dor Hadash in San Diego on August 8, 2004, but we jumped at the chance to make our partnership legal in California the first Saturday they performed these civil marriages: June 21, 2008. We were married at about 5:30 PM by a deputy named Michael, whom I recognized from the gay community. My friend Paul took this video with my Canon G9 camera, my mom and Andy’s friend David were witnesses, and also present were my mom’s friend Honey and David’s boyfriend Rich. There was an assistant in the room as well.

    At the time we were married, this file was too large to upload to YouTube, I didn’t have the software to facilitate closed-captioning it, and YouTube didn’t yet allow for captions to be uploaded to accompany videos. Now, a year later, “we have the technology” (to quote from the opening sequence of The Six Million Dollar Man), and I have the honor of reliving this moment and crying at the wonder of it all.

    I just want to say this: Love is gr8. Repeal Prop h8!

  • Cuddle Time with Doggies

    I’m usually in on this myself, but it was great to be able to grab our point & shoot and get this little video of Buxley & Lady playing with each other and one of their daddies.

  • Cute Little Pig with a Waggly Tail

    We saw this cute little pot-bellied pig on South Congress Street in front of Zen Japanese Food Fast. This pig (named Chorizo, which is Spanish for sausage) is owned by the same man who owns the restaurant. In the video, he tells as woman who asks if she can pet him that he just wet him down because he was hot. The woman says she used to own 13 of them and raise them. Then he says, “His name’s Chorizo…” 😉

    I uploaded this the night Flickr opened its doors to video. I know this would have been more timely news had I blogged it then, but better late than never. Anyhoo, enjoy the cute piggly-wiggly!
