I realize this post is a bit late after the election, but I just don’t understand how something like Proposition 8 passes in California. California is supposed to be one of the most liberal, forward thinking states in the country, but we passed a totally religiously based law? What happened to the separation of church and state? I beg of anybody to give me a truly valid reason as to how a samesex couple being married could affect anyone but themselves! Moreover, isn’t it a violation of several state and federal antidiscriminatory laws to create legislature against someone based on sexual orientation?

Last night was my 2 year anniversary with Laura, so we decided to celebrate at this wonderful restaurant, La Bodega, in Zamalek. This was some of the best food we’ve had in Cairo, I had rabbit and french onion soup, while Laura had duck and seafood soup. It was so delicious, my mouth is watering just from thinking about it! Anyway, after dinner, instead of asking for desert I asked Laura If she would marry me. Of course, she said yes, making me one of the happiest people on Earth! (more…)

So, we had a wonderful time at the Autumn ball, which took place in the garden of the British Embassy.  I even won a free flight to London, yay me!  Well enjoy the photos (more…)

We are both greatly enjoying the BCA autumn ball her majesty’s ambassador’s garden in Cairo. We feel so high class is our formal garb ;-). (more…)

I just wanted to share a little tidbit about Apple’s new Genius feature in iTunes 8. Apple claims that the “genius” can create a playlist of songs you like that go “great together,” but it seems thats only if you don’t like The Beatles. If you attempt to use the “genius” to try to create any playlists from a Beatles track, iTunes says there just isn’t enough information.

Thanks for the massive FAIL, Apple.

As I have said before, Laura and I had a wonderful time in Paris.  It took a while to upload all of the pictures we took, but here they are.

I hope you enjoy them as you live vicariously through us

So we have left Paris, and are now back in Cairo. Paris was an awesome city, and we both had a lot of fun. We took lots of pictures during our trip, and we will post them soon. Until then, here we are enjoying our last visit to a Parisian sidewalk cafe. EDIT: Sorry, the picture was accidently lost. (more…)

We arrived early this morning, but have no internet access at the hotel, so this is the first chance we’ve been able to get online.

We’re both pretty tired, so we haven’t really done anything exciting, except try to find free wifi… Guess where?

As I write this, Laura and I are sitting on a plane in Chicago, waiting to depart to Paris. This will be the first time for both of us to see this city and offend the locals by butchering their language!
We will make another post as soon as we can with some photographic evidence that this “France” place actually exists

I got a new toy and wanted to brag about it.
