Make My Dreams
Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo.
Although I love playing games, my new favorite party activity is the photo booth. (Did you ever see this?) The photo booth at Hannah's shower was no exception. It took a bit of encouragement to get people involved, but by the end of the afternoon we managed to get every guest in at least one picture. Success!
Happy shower!
♥,
Molly
P.S. This is my first time to edit the video! (New Years resolution: check!) Special thanks to Jill for gifting me a little imovie lesson and for all of her help & patience!

Yosemite on my Mind
My mom and I are planning a little trip to Yosemite this summer. (!!!!!) It's a destination that has been on my list for a long, long time. In fact, I can still clearly recall an Ansel Adams print of Half Dome hanging in the home of family friends--a memory that dates back to 1991. I was 8.
As is often the case, now that I'm serious about going, "Yosemite" seems to be everywhere. Links, people who've been, books, articles, and photos just keep popping up all over the place. (Someone once told me this is called "top of the mind consciousness". I guess it's a marketing term.) Of all the resources that I've run across lately, this video has definitely made an impression. It's both terrifying and amazing--to such a degree that my palms were sweaty after the first time I watched it.
Warning: If you're scared of heights, this video is probably not for you.
See what I mean?

Look Both Ways
This video shows the organized chaos also known as "traffic" in Ho Chi Minh City. Although we didn't get a chance to visit HCMC, Hanoi bears a striking resemblance. Crazy!

Memoirs of a Giesha
{7.2012}
Another hostel find. Another quick read.
It's an interesting (though fictional) glimpse into the life of a geisha working in Kyoto, Japan before and after World War II. I'm sure it's full of stereotypes but I honestly don't know enough about Japanese culture to sort between the truths and the fallacies. The main character does a beautiful job of narrating her life, but after awhile I wanted to smack her. Her identity is wholly dependent on the love of a certain character. The sappy ending was also a bit much. When I think of it as "memoir" it bothers me. When I think of it as fairytale, then it's much easier to like.
