WEDDED BLISS The Newsletter for Michael and Rochelle's Marriage Volume III, Number 1 -- November 5, 1999 Table of Contents: Catch Michael and Rochelle on CNN TONIGHT New E-mail Addresses Website Updates Post Honeymoon Notes The End of the Undersea World The New Arrivals   Catch Michael and Rochelle on CNN TONIGHT We're sorry for the short notice, this took us by surprise too. But our wedding video is going to be shown on CNN tonight, Friday November 5th, on the CNN Newsstand program. In our area that program airs at 7:00pm and 10:00pm PST. (Our segment may get bumped or moved around by coverage of the preliminary findings in the Microsoft antitrust trial.) Now, this isn't quite the big deal it seems. Michael's company is actually the subject of the 6 minute piece, but part of that segment includes a demo of the company product, BeOS, editing a video on a personal computer. A wedding video. THE wedding video. It seems that Be needed original footage, for which they had full right-to-use, etc. Casting their eyes about, Michael was the recently married employee -- could they use our video for their demos? Not being shy, we said yes. So, first showgoers at DV Expo in Los Angeles were treated to footage of our wedding, and now the entire nation. We're not sure if this qualifies as our 15 minutes of fame, but we're taping the show anyway.   New E-mail Addresses Michael has done something to haightlife.com to allow us to receive e-mail there. He might have explained it to me, but frankly, there are some times when I just don't even try to understand what he's saying. "Blah, blah, blah, Ginger!" The point is, I can be reached at JavaScript must be enabled to display this email address. and Michael is at . I will be closing my cecil@sirius.com account at the end of November, so you'll need to switch to our new addresses by then. Even better, Michael and I can be reached jointly at JavaScript must be enabled to display this email address. (we will both get all messages sent to this address, automatically). So, update those e-mail address books of yours, right now!   Website Updates Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're lazy liars. When the heck are we going to get off our asses and make some updates to the site? Well, the answer is, we finally have. Besides adding this issue of our newsletter, we've updated the wedding and honeymoon photos, including new, never before seen Tacky Pope Stuff. Overall there are more than twice as many photos now. There's also a few more Y2K items, and a blatantly ripped off comic strip that's a savage parody of the crazy things we've been sending out to y'all. And, we're taking ideas! If you'd like to see something groovy on our web site, let us know. Michael is looking for more weekend projects... Where can you find all this and more? At the usual place: http://www.haightlife.com/wedding/   Post Honeymoon Notes Yesterday we had our four month anniversary. We've decided that the honeymoon is over when you find that your idea of a Friday night date is a visit to Home Depot, instead of going out on the town. And I know Michael really felt like a husband when he spent a week and 5 trips to the hardware store to fix our leaking toilet... [ Editor's Note: It's not Michael's fault that the first hardware store had mislabeled the water supply tubes with the wrong diameter, or that two other hardware stores didn't carry the right size... ]   The End of the Undersea World Those of you who have visited the Undersea World and experienced it first hand will be saddened to hear of its demise, but we finally needed new lights and, after a run of six years, it just wasn't what it used to be. But keep the faith, because we expect to unveil a new and improved theme in our water closet sometime before the New Millenium...uh, well, someday anyway.   The New Arrivals Our poor little Meebee passed away the day before we left on our honeymoon. It was very sad though we received comfort from all the cute kitties in Rome. Upon our return, we waited a respectable month before visiting our local animal shelter. Unfortunately, there was a serious flaw in our plan. Although it was technically Michael's turn to pick out our new pet, I accompanied him. You know the plot already, don't you? Yes, Michael fell in love with one cat and I fell in love with another. We got both. Announcing the newest members of our household: Basta Luigi! (photo coming soon) Billie "'cause I'm" Wilder (photo coming soon) The cats love their new home, but they do not love each other. Basta, who was named for a problem child in Italy (ask us that story some time!), is living up to her name, and does not play well with the other cats. We've dubbed our dining room door, which divides the house in half, the Berlin Wall, and Basta is generally corraled in her half of the house. Which is fine with her, as she has taken to herding Michael into the office, where she can count on him to stay with her for hours (at the computer).
