TIRH and I are excited to announce that we’ll be spending the first weekend that the Goodridge decision takes effect in Massachusetts, in Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA. I’m so excited about this because, a) I get so antsy staying in one place for too long, b) bed and breakfasts rock, c) bed and breakfasts most likely owned by gay men especially rock and d) how cool is it that we’ll maybe get to see some same-sex marriage action? (I don’t mean action-action, just a ceremony or reception or something. Mind! Out of gutter! Now!)
Here are a number of facts about our trip to Provincetown:
a) When I asked TIRH if he would like to blog about it, he responded, “You can have this one.” Hmmmm.
b) It is valuable to note that TIRH and I didn’t plan to crash P-Town on such an important weekend. Going there off-season is just way more affordable.
c) We are staying at the Beaconlight.
d) Our visit coincides with Cabaret Festival 2004. I don’t know that we’re much into that, but it is a fact.
e) We could go whale-watching, maybe.
f) We can rent bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!
g) We could go to the Pirate Museum. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! <-- You'll want to click on the Rrrr!
h) We will definitely go to many fine, tasty restaurants.
i) We will do lots of shopping, I’m sure. Plenty of useless things made out of seashells will be purchased.
j) I doubt we will swim, but beach-going will happen.
I haven’t been to P-Town since 1998. I have a picture of me in a funny hat from the Mad Hatter store where we weren’t supposed to take pictures. The only other things I remember are a bonfire on the beach (Truro? I can’t remember), lots of drunkenness and sleeping in a tent. That was the first year I moved to Massachusetts and at the time I had no idea I would end up in Western Massachusetts. I think I still thought I was destined to be a Bostoner. Boy was I wrong.
Any tips, suggestions for our trip? Leave them in the comments section.

Stroll through the daisy field with Deery lou as he chases after
a friendly little bumble bee and takes time to play among the flowers!
The cutest thing ever = Deery Lou! I got the cereal bowl on Canal Street. Could there be anything cuter? I think not!
I leave for NYC today. Don’t expect me to be blogging from the library.
I’ll be back Sunday night.
(I’m taking my knitting project with me and you can’t stop me.)

TIRH has posted more pictures from Reykjavik here. Some of them I haven’t looked at in a while. Awww… Ok, back to work. Shout out to my friend who-shall-not-be-named who’s livin’ large with the ‘rents in Chi right now. Don’t worry, you’ll be back home soon. Just 5 more days! (Chiefly, my blogging the next few days will be to keep her from going insane—I mean, entertained.)
Icelandic-born Keiko died off the coast of Norway on Friday.
Keiko, which means “Lucky One” in Japanese, was released from Iceland in July 2002 with hopes that he would return to the wild. But he swam straight for Norway on a 870-mile trek that seemed to be a search for human companionship.
Fame and celebrity really screw with one’s head.
1. If you’re interested in all things Icelandic, please read the latest TIRH M. interview here.
2. If you would like to just be hip and generally with it and stuff, read Sound Check.
3. Here’s a Mount Holyoke student’s blog. She works over at the radio station on campus.
I promise to be back to writing regularly very soon.
One good thing about the weather getting colder is that it reminds me of our trip to Iceland. You think we had wind damage the other night? That windstorm a few nights ago was nothing compared to 70 mph winds outside Reykjavik the day we tried to see the Geyser. I mentioned somewhere here before that the 70 mph winds spit tiny pebbles at our faces that day. Go home, American, go home!, the wind seemed to be saying to us.
Anyway, here’s a great interview with Toti, an Icelander who went to college in Worcester, of all places. He is running a start-up that specializes in moblogging and speech-based applications. Cool.
I miss Iceland.
