we had a pretty crazy weekend.
we went to LA, where we went paragliding over malibu on sunday (we did the tandem rides). it wasn't as scary as i thought it would be, since we didn't have to run off of a cliff to take off (like they do for hangliding). it's really just a huge kite that you take a few steps forward to pull into the wind, and then it just picks you up, up, up!

as if that weren't fantastic enough, sunday night we went to the TV Guide post-Emmys party. it was a pretty amazing party -- lots of celebs and a damn fine performance by john legend. the big event of the evening was a "surprise" visit from kanye west, who did a few songs then had a freakout of sorts and left in a hurry. 'gold digger' was my fave, and john legend joined him on that. i was about 3-4 people back from the stage for most of the show, so i had a pretty good view. i could see kanye's eyes through his glasses, and when john legend danced out into the audience, he went right by me, dancing with us all as he passed. there are some good party summaries up already, from e online and associated press. i'm going to scout for photos.
