About Me

Comments or suggestions about my Beauty and the Beast webpage? Contact me at rivka@NOSPAMcouncilofelrond.com (remove the NOSPAM bit) or through the guestbook. If you're interested in learning a little more about me and my family, then read on.

I finally finished graduate school at UCLA, and I now work at a small Liberal Arts school in Southern California. My husband and I have been married for 5years. He's a programmer at EA Pacific. I've included several pictures of us and our cats down below.

I have a few other major websites:

The Council of Elrond A Lord of the Rings Site
Lavender Eyes A Drizzt Do'Urden Site

FanSiteTools.com For help with building fansites.

Warning: the images below are really damn old. But we all (including the cats) still look pretty much the same :)

Behold the monstrosity that is Fred!!!

Folks, they don't get much fatter than this. This obese creature is our cat Fred. Those who have dared stretch a finger towards her in the hope of petting her have usually regretted it. She likes us, though. Nicknames: Freddy, Noodle, Bear, Fatty, Fatty Bombastic.

Fred nearly succeeds at crushing the life out of me.
Our male cat, Jo, enjoying a role-playing game. Jo is the sweetest, most lovable cat I've ever known. Despite the fact that he is half Fred's size, he often initiates fights with her. He's my baby. Nicknames: Joey, Joey-schmoey, Schmoo, Squeaky-buns.
Despite their daily squabbling, the two cats do manage to get along sometimes. They often sleep together, bathe each other, and play.

Enough about the babies. Here's a picture of me (Rebecca) and my husband, Graham. This is one of my favorite pictures of us, mostly because we look so "adult".

The two of us on our wedding day, about to get into the limo to take us to the reception.
My husband's brother (Kent), Graham, and our good friend Paul.
Graham and I on our honeymoon at Mackinac Island, MI.
We went to the Sleeping Bear Dunes a couple of summers ago. We were foolish enough to climb to the top of the giant sand dune. Not recommended. We slept very well that night.


Me, Graham, and my sisters Gailyn, and Sharon. No, Sharon's not fat in this picture, just very pregnant. (She climbed partway up the giant dune, too!) My niece Giselle was born in October, 1998.
