MTM #8 — June 27, 2009 — Theme = “Connect The Dots”

My methodology:  I connected each song to the next one.  So, for example, my first track had the word ‘baby’ in the title, and then so did the second song.  Then the second song also included the word ‘forever,’ and then so did the third song.  The third and fourth songs both contained the word ‘over.’  And so on…  To make it easier to read, I’ve italicized the connecting words.  If I’d been a smarter man, I also would have linked the last song back around to the first, but that didn’t occur to me until I was already burned, packed up, and at the bar where we hold MTM.  (Also worth noting in advance, I purposely avoided any Sufjan Stevens songs, with his propensity for massively long song titles, figuring that felt like a copout to me.)

Q. Can two first cousins marry?
A. Yes. However, New York State does not permit Marriage Licenses to be issued to an ancestor and a descendant (such as between a parent and child or grandparent and grandchild), a brother and a sister of either full or half blood, or an uncle and niece or aunt and nephew, regardless of whether or not these persons are legitimate or illegitimate offspring.

so, when did NYC become WV, exactly?

just had a friend snarkily say ‘good luck then…’ when i told her that i would not be using her photographer because he was simply outside of my budget…

i expect this from The Wedding Industry™ but not from my friends…

Since I haven’t seen you in a while, let me officially say congratulations!!!  I’ll say it again the next time I see you.  Don’t worry.
