So I found out some serious info since the last time I updated. Crucial. Turns out wedding planning is really awful. I mean not like the punchline to a dead baby joke (A: a pitchfork), but the sort of tedious never ending awful. Like graduate school or that time I went to an open mic and someone performed with an autoharp, sung about her cats, and I was told I couldn’t laugh.
Had I known it would be this way, I would have figured out some way to leisurely plan a mock wedding, propose, and then get married before anyone realized they were offended or unhappy with some aspect of the event. The alternative is eloping, but I don’t think I want to have that conversation with both sets of relatives every family get-together for the remainder of my adult life. Thanks to working at an old folks home and a mental hospital, I also now associate “eloping” with “crazy person running away to buy cigarettes”.
Regardless of all the silly fighting and misunderstandings, this should be a pretty great wedding. I mean for other people. For me it’ll be the best. Except for the mustache part. I wanted everyone, including babies (especially babies), to have to wear a false mustache. So for me this will be the best wedding ever that doesn’t have fake mustaches. For other people it’ll be a great destination wedding that is lacking just a touche of upper lip magic.
I saw this on the Colbert Report tonight. There’s no video of that up yet, but I found an AP news story about it. I live about a block and a half from this bar:
I also live about 3 blocks from the shopping court where rapper T.I. was busted for buying guns in a parking lot.
New season of Squids started last night. If you missed the first episode, you can check it out on the [adultswim] website. Look for my name in the credits starting next week or so.
I too am fighting back in the war against Christmas! I personally think God wants xmas music pumping through the mall starting the day after Labor Day.
My christmas card is pretty late in coming now. I couldn’t access the internet through my laptop during much of the holiday season. Since this is late, I blinged it out.
Today is my birthday. Aside from a tasty dinner out tonight, I don’t really have any plans today. I’m hundreds of miles from any of my friends. I may go wander into the city and check out the Visionary Art Museum. Maybe just visit the gigantic uber-mall I used to work at and see if I can convince myself to go see a movie. Maybe I’ll walk around town screaming with no pants on and use the “birthday defense” when the cops show up.
