Our wedding registry story on St.Louis TV

Jenny and I thought that probably the most normal thing about our relationship was our wedding registry, but somehow the media have got interested in it. KMOV, the local TV station in St.Louis came and interviewed us about it today and it aired on the 5pm news and is the most viewed news item on their website here. Its kinda embarrassing. Watch out for the bit in the video where they zoom in on me picking a piece of lint out of Jenny's hair - apparently the camera was running when they were sorting out the sound levels and they chose to play this - it's a bit like the intro to Farenheit 911 which catches Wolfowitz, Bush and others making faces and doing their hair prior to interviews when they don't realise the camera is running! The reporter apparently thinks everything in life comes in 20s, i'm not sure where she got that from, also her description of Tuwani "a village in West Bank where almost everyone lives in caves with their sheep" sounds a bit funny but actually isn't too far from the truth.

They edited out all the politics in our interview of course. For the record there's a reason why Palestinians need sheep donated - because the settlers kill their folks and because of the economic blockade by Israel and the West. Also, Iraqi children wouldn't be needing medical aid - in a country which used to have good universal free health care - unless we'd seriously messed the place up through our wars, sanctions and occupation... Anyhow I can't blog any more as we're deep into wedding planning and Jenny is pulling me away from the computer...
