Capones Island with Secondary Sponsor and friend-for-life H.Although the editing was done by H. using a Mac Powerbook, all the still and moving images in this video were captured by a now-Jurassic Nokia 6233. The resolution's on the low side, but the dreaminess is soaring high on the scale.
We once gave H. a birthday card with a Jack Kerouac quote, 'Happiness consists in realizing that this is all a strange dream.' It's how we honestly felt as we watched the video. We had such a blast on our backpack in that island - it almost seemed just like a strange dream.
We got re-acquainted through H. four years ago. And there we were, on our last summer trip as boyfriend-and-girlfriend. So it goes.
Right now, we hear the rain falling hard on tin roofs, accompanied by that perfect-for-the-weather song from the video. Jon Brion sings Here We Go. We exchange i-love-yous and imagine that by next summer, we will be husband and wife.
