What’s going on?

Things have been especially busy lately. I’ve been hanging out with my girlfriend Adriana a lot. Yes Mum, I’ve met the family, and they’re absolutely hilarious! So things are good there.

I recently helped organise a “baby shower” (I use the quotes since it had guys there too, and showers as such are normally a female-only affair) for my friends Jessie and Omar, and I took pictures at another shower party for friends Maha and Matt.

Wedding in South Beach

On the weekend I attended a double first: a Cuban wedding, and a wedding in South Beach. It was an incredibly short church service, but that just meant more time to party afterwards. Which they did. A lot of. I’ve never seen so much dancing (and good dancing at that) at a wedding. Congrats go out to Milly and Val!

Some pictures are included below, click here for the set slideshow.

Tornado in South Florida

Apparently there was a developing tornado spotted in South Florida this afternoon, specifically forming over Tamarac, where I happen to live! It didn’t touch down, and not much damage was caused, apparently, but I’m curious to see what damage was done on the drive home tonight.

UPDATE: Absolutely no damage whatsoever. Yay!

I have to add, and this is the craziness in me becoming more apparent, but as soon as I heard there was a tornado forming I wanted to go home, grab my camera and take some pictures. I didn’t do that… perhaps next time.

UPDATE #2: It did touch down! From this site:

National Weather Service Meteorologist Dan Dixon said a tornado touched down near Tamarac and was on the ground for 2.75 miles.

Dixon said the tornado had 80 to 85 mph winds and was about 50 to 100 yards wide.

Tiesto who?

Heard a funny story at a work luncheon yesterday. I’m going to paraphrase this one, I can’t remember all the details due to me laughing so much while the story was being told.

One of my friends who lives down in South Beach was invited to dinner by a friend. “We’re going to have dinner with Tiesto!” For anyone who listens to dance music, that would be quite a dinner to attend. Except, she hadn’t really heard of him. Anyway, they’re out at dinner, she asked him questions like:

“What do you do?”
“I’m a DJ.”

“Where are you from?”
“Amsterdam.”

I think the funniest was when they were approaching the line for a club:

“This is a cool club, except it’s really hard to get into. We might have to wait a while”.
“Oh, I don’t think we have to worry about that :)”
