I woke up this morning with this line stuck in my head. I could recite exactly how it was said, and with the proper accent, but could not remember which movie it came from. This happens to me a lot, although usually with pieces of movie scores instead of actual lines. I will find myself humming the theme to a movie, and once I realize what my subconscious has served up for me, I hunt up the dvd and watch it until I can locate the location in the score where I was humming.

Thankfully, stray movie lines are much easier to type into Google than randomly hummed melodies (although there's something for that, too), and a quickly typed search on my dad's Palm Pilot revealed the answer in one try: the line is from Cold Comfort Farm, declared by the utterly clueless Mr. Myberg as he arrives uninvited to Elfine's wedding.

Today, however, this line is completely appropriate. It IS a marvelous day for a wedding! A truly PHPC wedding, in fact, between two people I have known since one fateful Mo Ranch Junior High Celebration back in middle school. Zack and Beth are getting married this afternoon, and I think the entire church is going to be packed like sardines in the sanctuary to watch the event! I can't wait. :)

I'm in need of a few eco-friendly sorts to help me out with a project! I am designing (maybe even building?) an online community around small, approachable tasks that affect the way we use natural resources or consume energy. A 43 Things of making a difference, if you will.

What do I need from you? Ideas for goals! I'm looking for small, finite tasks you can do in a day, or a week, like "recycle my old magazines" or "take the bus to work." If you're like me, you have a few of these rolling around in your head, even if they don't necessarily all get done. It doesn't matter if its a one time thing or something that can be done regularly - send it to me in an email at katybeck at gmail dot com!

Many thanks in advance,
Katy.

My weekend, in a nutshell:

I finally managed to locate a window of time when the photography department offices were actually open (a tougher challenge than one might hope) and retrieve my final portfolio from Wintersession. And THEN I managed to find a window of time to actually sit down and scan them in! Miracles do happen.

Enjoy:
