Wedding Report
Oct 21st 2006
Just got back from my cousins wedding reception and, contrary to how I thought the night was going to go, I had a blast.
The Wedding was kinda boring…long. Lots of sitting and standing. Not being an overtly religious person, I’m not too fond of long drawn out ceremonies, but I guess this one wasn’t as long as it could have been. As the priest said, it could have been a wedding mass instead of a wedding ceremony…
The wait between the ceremony and the reception was kinda long too. I went over to my parents house and played StarFox Command on my Nintendo DS to kill time.
Then the reception. Lots of fun stuff. My parents and I were split up at two different, but neighboring, tables. My cousin set up this table specifically so all the troublemaker cousins could sit together and we had a blast. We had a candle war with my parents table with the centerpiece candle. It started since their candle was blown out when we got there. But after the waiters re-lit it, my cousin Heather’s husband Scott went over and blew it out. They then swapped candles with us so that we had the unlit one and they had a lit one. Then they got up to hit the buffet and they gave their candle to some friends at another table. We bribed them to blow it out…and got ours relit. Fun times.
More fun stuff happened, but I’d be typing all night if I typed it all out…so you’re going to have to just get by with that.
Oh, just one more thing. We were the only table with Red Hot and Ketchup. I didn’t realize you could ask for that stuff in a reception setting 
QotD: Game On

What was the last game you played?
City of Heroes of course! For those who might not be familiar, it’s a Massively multi-player online game where you get to be a Hero, straight out of a comic book. Or a villain if you prefer.
Anyway, I’m a bit obsessed with it if you hadn’t guessed.
The last non-mmo game I played was Starfox Commander for the Nintendo DS. Pretty fun game with some odd controls that make it a little tough at first. It’s not bad when you get used to them though…I’ve always been a big fan of Starfox. The original is what caused me to buy a SNES back in the day.
I’ve also been playing The Sims 2 with the Open for Business expansion pack that I just got. a couple weeks ago. Sim me enjoys lighting his stove on fire (twice in one night!) which isn’t too far off the mark from where I’m at with my own cooking skills.
And if we’re talking non-video games here I’d have to say Uno. A two and a half hour single hand of uno. And we didn’t even actually finish the hand. It was horrible
Don’t They Know I’m On A Schedule?!?!?

Just got back from my trip to Best Buy to pick up Score…my that certaintly was interesting. First, it’s raining out, so there’s some giant sized puddles on the back roads which were the quickest way between work and Best Buy, so I get to dodge puddles. Then, I get on the main roads and end up following the slow moving lunch people coming out of the bank that’s in the area.So I get past them…BOOM! Construction! 1 lane road, 40 miles per hour. Grrr.
So I finally make it to Best Buy and grab the CD, but I can’t find the DVD. They don’t have it on the shelf iin the usual position so I scout around and eventually find it on an endcap with the new releases. I also grabbed the new Starfox game for the DS…Starfox Command.
Anyway, I go to pay and the guy takes forever…sigh. Then back through more traffic and construction. End result was my lunch ran 15 minutes long. Guess I get to stay here for a little bit after 5 to make up for it.
But Score is in my hands! I can’t wait to get home now.
