Looking at wedding venues online
Mike: ooh they also do quinceaneras there
Mike: maybe we should tell them we are doing that instead
Me: I am a janky ass 15 year old
Mike: what why
Me: because I am 30
Me: and a jew
Mike: you could get really offended if they questioned you
Mike: "ARE YOU SAYING I LOOK OLD"
Mike: "ON MY QUINCEANERA?!?!"
Mike: "HOW DARE YOU"
Me: so you think I should insist that rather than being a 30 year old jew getting married I am having a Quinceanera
Me: Then get into a fight
Mike: whatever, you're a lousy 15-year-old latina
Me: fuck you
Mike: YOU KNOW I DIDN'T MEAN THAT
Mike: YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE
Mike: YOU CAN BE A PUERTO RICAN BABY
Me: are you saying I look old
Me: and on my quinceanera
Mike: see!
Mike: it's satisfying, right?
Me: hahahahahah
Me: I want to be a puerto rican baby

Mike: oh goddamnit
Mike: well fine

Band, Head Pieces, and Venues. Oh My!
I am getting used to the idea of being engaged and getting married. It still throws me for a bit of a loop when I get an email from my father with sentences like: “Actually, also, Mom and I are in wedding planning mode, and it occurred to me that it could be great to have a band like this from Chicago play at your party.” I have an indie dad, and he wants to get an indie band to play my wedding. I...
I will get married when I am an adult
Last night Mike and I (along with Janine, Matthew, and Vicky) went to the Electric 6 boat show. It was fantastic and we danced our faces off. Today, my entire body hurts, in particular my left knee.
When people used to ask me when Mike and I were going to get married, I would say when I am an adult. Well, now I am engaged and my knee hurts.
This is the hardest thing I have ever admitted, but I...
CIA hired Blackwater to help hunt al Qaeda leaders →

squashed:
The program was outsourced to contractors to “put some distance” between the effort and the U.S. government.
I know al Qaeda isn’t going to win a lot of popularity contests—but isn’t it extremely creepy that we seem to have contracted out some assassin work? I like to tell myself that whatever weird and nefarious stuff the CIA used to be involved in, it’s...
Grandpa, What were Churches Like? →
This shit is hilarious! Really, just read it. It is totally worth it. Old people, jesus, guns, and just a hint of pedephilic overtones. It is really a brilliant piece.

Mad Libs with the New York Times... →
Here is a helpful guide to writing a proper wedding announcement from the New York Times. I love it for so many reasons. But the first is that they assume people getting married in the city are in their 30s. And second, they get all up in your business. The editor of the Times Wedding Section is like my mother, who is the biggest gossip I know. “What do they do? Where do they live? Are they having...

This couple is a bit too much like me and Mike, except for the whole Phish fandom. Neurological disorders - no problem, but I don’t think I would have even started dating Mike if he followed Phish.
I
There is the same typo in my last two posts where the word “I” is missing. I wonder is that key is broken or I am just a really shitty typist.
Okay there are people watching movies and drinking in my living room, and when say people, I mean my friends that invited over. I should get back out there, but I am hiding in my cold air conditioned bed room for a few minutes.
Reverting
Last nigh at the bar, Mike drunkenly made fun of me for my engagement melt down that this blog is basically documenting. He said (well more slurred shouting) that I had reverted back to 15-year-old Rachel and was having an existential angst filled identity crisis. Which would say is true, but I am not sure that people are allowed to be aware of their existentialist angst filled identity crisis. It...

Dem Congressman: Obama Willing To Be One-Term President Over Health Care Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-IA) told a local town hall meeting that President Obama told him he would deal with health care — even if it cost Obama re-election. Said Boswell: “And he said, ‘No, if it makes me a one-term president, I’m going to, we’re going to take it on because the country is in...
Xanax and the Outer Boroughs →
We currently live in an appartment on Prospect Park West, which is apparently the name and setting for a new book and TV series that looks like the Sex and the City Ladies go through their post-partum depression. It even stars Sarah Jessica Parker!
Yay getting married and moving to Seattle! There are good things about getting married.
You'll Be Mrs. Dikshit-Spitzfarger And Like It! →
A link from Jezebel about how most people think that women should change their name when they get married.
Maintaining my last name is not a radical act of feminism! It is not even a minor act of feminism. It is not even an action; it is a lack of action. But I am going to have to spend the rest of my life explaining that yes, we are married, and yes, we do have different last names.
There is the...
I used to be cool, but now I'm a bride
I got engaged last week to a guy a have been dating for 8 1/2 years. Before I got engaged I was a 29 year old girl, living in Brooklyn, having a fine old time with an awesome job and amazing friends running around the city doing cool shit.
The internet has targeted marketing powers that would try to sell me tickets to go see Electric Six or get me to donate money to some liberal political...
