We Be Betrothed

Well, the gf and I are engaged to be married. I guess she's the moved on from being the gf, and is now the f. And soon, the w. Or just W.

I proposed in a neat little tapas place in the boho Bellavista section of Santiago, Chile. I fed her too much wine and she said yes. Now it's too late for her to take it back.

Getting married is expensive. I wanted to utilize the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport's chapel (DFW chapel, who knew there was one?), but it was Christmas Day when we went through and it was closed. So we will settle for some exquisite SoCal outdoor environment instead, probably in early summer.

I will miss my dark one-bedroom apartment (not really).

Since U Been Gone

I am a blogging failure. I apologize.

I will resort to a list of things that have occurred since the last time I blogged.

1. Moved in with the gf.
2. Signed on to a movie called ¨Law-Abiding Citizen¨ that will shoot in Philly for three months and take me away from my new place. That hyphen in the film title is mine, btw, we´ll see if they actually use it. Jamie Foxx, Katherine Zeta Jones, and others.
3. Flew to Chile where the gf and I have been kicking around for a couple of weeks.
4. Saw the atrocious ¨Cadillac Records.¨
5. Baked a mincemeat pie.
6. And other huge important things.

I Keep Finding Money

About a week ago I was going through an old box of travel items and came across $80 wrapped up in a Xeroxed copy of my passport. Three days ago I found six 50-dollar bills mixed in with some old mail. Yesterday I found $42 in another box.

Is the beginning of an new era of good fortune? Or is this a harbinger of doom, since good luck comes in threes?

I hope for the former. God, I hope for the former.
