1. Wedding went awesome. I looked amazing (dress was so sparkly in the dark) and was grateful for the 3/4 length sleeves as it was in the thirties and we were largely outside in a tent. Once the dancing started, I danced for hours and had a blast. Food was awesome, and I wish I'd eaten more of it. I was very moderate in my drinking (so easy to accidentally drink too much at an event like that; I think the dancing helped) and woke up perky the next morning.

We stayed at Josh's cousin's house, and it is like a museum--crystal and silver candelabras and serious artwork on every wall. All the furniture is antique and the floor in every single room except for one strip in the kitchen is the plushest, deepest white carpet. Beautiful. I could never live there, of course, as I spill everything. LOL

Josh and I went to Oxford to check out what's changed since we last visited 3 years ago. The Square now has metered parking. I imagine that's super annoying if you live there, but it makes total sense to me and is a good way for them to generate revenue (and there's unmetered parking in a few places off the Square if you know where to look). Lots of new restaurants and a couple new stores on the Square, but mostly everything was the same. The biggest difference we saw was in the area around the Square: millions and millions of dollars worth of new condos and apartment buildings. I bet y'all those millions that they are largely empty for most of the year and are only occupied for game day weekends, and I bet the people who own them have already recouped everything they spent building them just renting them out for football games.

We drove to the wedding with another of Josh's cousins who is living in Atlanta, and he and his wife introduced us to drinking vinegars, or shrubs. These are non-alcoholic drink mixers made from vinegar, and they are awesome (they sound gross but do not taste like vinegar). We had beet root and carrot and it was delicious. Josh hates beets and hates every carrot soup I've ever made, and he thought it was tasty.

2. Thanks for the info on Jessica Jones. Whew. We will now resume watching.

Yay weddings! Dancing all night is the best (very occasionally).

that reminds me of that line from ferris buller's day off when ferris is describing cameron's house: the place is like a museum. it's very beautiful and very cold, and you're not allowed to touch anything.

Would you believe I have never seen that movie? I missed out on a lot of 80s movies.

if you ever need something to watch some time you could check out a couple.

Yay, congratulations!

Also, Oxford. Was pretty cool when we went last fall.

So glad you had an awesome time. :D

We were just passing through--we'd visited a friend in Scotland for a couple of weeks and figured we might as well see Oxford while we were in the UK. Got to see some Tolkien stuff and wandered around the town a bit and listened to some music and bought t-shirts and ate excellent curry. Basically the tourist thing for a couple of days. :D

It seemed like a place I could pretty happily live, and now I've got more context when it's mentioned in books!
