Sometimes life is like a bad movie.
My life is like a movie - nothing really funny happens, so I guess its not a comedy, certainly no aliens or demon possessed child, I am not a cowboy, and there is not really that much drama... so I am at a loss to figure out what genre it would fit into, but I do recognize some small aspects that Hollywood tends to employ every now and then. Maybe it's a not-so-romantic, not-so-funny, not-so-dramatic romantic comedy drama.
Take last Thursday for instance. I had been out late the night before running and drinking with the hash. I got home around mid-night, showered, and spent some time chatting with Tomoe. I probably didn't get to sleep until past 1 am. Although I usually tend to pass out around midnight, I told myself its not that late. I should have been more careful though, because the next morning... (this is where the movie plot part begins) continue reading...
I SLEPT IN AND MISSED MY OWN WEDDING!!!
Luckily, Tomoe also slept in and missed the wedding. And we wasn't completely an accident. In fact, we woke up with the alarm, looked at each other and decided (without actually talking about it) that we should really just sleep longer and get married next week.
So, that's what we did today. These photos are our only wedding photos, but I probably wont ever put them in the "Weddings" section of my portfolio if I should ever become a professional photographer. It would have been nice to try for a better photo, but we had to go a little further away to file the paperwork than expected, and Tomoe was already late for work, so immediately after taking this photo, she hopped on her bike and took off. Come to think of it, I didn't even get a chance to kiss the bride.
(NOTE: The second picture is meant to have some proof in the future that she was, at least at one point in time, happily married)

Hey Kevin! Troy sent me a copy of this particular entry - Congratulations! When exactly did you come back to Tokyo? We've moved, it's a bummer I didn't realize you're around, we had a housewarming on Saturday. I'm off to the US for a month tomorrow, but hope to catch up with you when we're both back in town. Cheers, Wendy
